No, IE does this pretty much by default, so my advice is to either choose flash or the drop menu, both don't work well together. Or move the flash further down the page.

Remember, you don't be afraid to open up the file and give some things a try. Simply save an original copy in case things get messed up. Remember all it takes is uploading the original to get it right back to where it was before. But here are detailed instructions. To remove the Home-Login-Search section:

<div id="navMainWrapper">
<div id="navMain">
    <ul class="back">
    <li><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">'; ?><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CATALOG; ?></a></li>
<?php if ($_SESSION['customer_id']) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGOFF, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGOFF; ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_ACCOUNT, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_MY_ACCOUNT; ?></a></li>
<?php
      } else {
        if (STORE_STATUS == '0') {
?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_LOGIN; ?></a></li>
<?php } } ?>

<?php if ($_SESSION['cart']->count_contents() != 0) { ?>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_SHOPPING_CART, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CART_CONTENTS; ?></a></li>
    <li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_CHECKOUT_SHIPPING, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_CHECKOUT; ?></a></li>
<?php }?>
</ul>
</div>
<div id="navMainSearch"><?php require(DIR_WS_MODULES . 'sideboxes/search_header.php'); ?></div>
<br class="clearBoth" />
</div>

To remove the logo only, remove this chunk only:

    <div id="logo"><?php echo '<a href="' . HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . '">' . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . HEADER_LOGO_IMAGE, HEADER_ALT_TEXT) . '</a>'; ?></div>

To remove the tagline, remove this section:

<?php if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '' || (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2))) { ?>
    <div id="taglineWrapper">
<?php
              if (HEADER_SALES_TEXT != '') {
?>
      <div id="tagline"><?php echo HEADER_SALES_TEXT;?></div>
<?php
              }
?>
<?php
              if (SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 != '' && $banner = zen_banner_exists('dynamic', SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2)) {
                if ($banner->RecordCount() > 0) {
?>
      <div id="bannerTwo" class="banners"><?php echo zen_display_banner('static', $banner);?></div>
<?php
                }
              }
?>
    </div>
<?php } // no HEADER_SALES_TEXT or SHOW_BANNERS_GROUP_SET2 ?>

Hi
You are missing at least one file.
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css

Check you have loaded all the files and in the right place.

Four your classic template the above file should be in:
includes/templates/classic/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css

hi
thanks a lot!
yes that was missing!
now in firefox the dropdown menu works fine but in ie nothing happens when i rollover
what could be the reason for that?
thanks!

Seems to be working for me.

What version of IE? There is a special file that should be included for it to work with IE6 and previous I think. Search this thread for clues. (csshover.htc)

Looks fine in English, but I think you need some language defines for the Italian.

Again, search this thread for help on using 2 languages.

No, IE does this pretty much by default, so my advice is to either choose flash or the drop menu, both don't work well together. Or move the flash further down the page.

thanks for this advice, i have taken down the flash and put up featured products instead, looks much better, thanks for all your advice xx

I am sorry if an answer to this question has been posted before. I would like to simply add subcategory css dropdowns to the regular category tabs menu. I would like the categories and the subcategories to be dynamically generated (as the categories are now). I know only a tiny bit of php. Has anyone done this and could they supply me with the code?

Thank you!

This menu does that already, if you're talking about getting css dropdowns in the default zen cart menu (vertical, in a sidebox), check out this mod:
