CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[jettrue]

First of all, I'd like to thank JetTrue for this terrific addition to Zen Cart and for the huge amount of time taken to help all of the people (like myself) who are having issues. It's very generous of you to offer such support when much of the time the issue has nothing to do with your mod.
That may be the case for me today. I'm wondering if anybody could take a look at my site in IE6 and help me understand why each top level list item is taking up a whole row. I've played with spacing, display types, margins and padding but to no avail. Any help anyone can offer would certainly be greatly appreciated. It works great in IE7, Firefox, Safari, etc. but not in IE6.
Thanks so much!

Here's the modified CSS I'm using for the header.

Do you realize that you have two IE6.css stylesheets uploaded online? Remove the extra one.

If that still doesn't help, does this happen on my test site, www.zencart137.jadetrue.com? if not compare my original css with yours and make changes till it is fixed. :-)

I figured out what was going on. I had set the width of the UL LI to be auto and this made it so that regardless of the length of text, the box would fit to the text with just some padding/margin around it. It worked great in Firefox and IE7 but caused IE6 to place each top level list item (LI) on it's own line. Very ugly. I'm fairly handy with CSS but wasn't able to figure out how to make it stretch like I wanted in both IE6 and Firefox. When it worked in IE6, it didn't work in Firefox and vice versa. I resolved to just make my link text fit within a predefined width for all browsers and that seemed to do the trick. Not the resolution I had hoped for but not a bad workaround in my case.

Oops - I didn't see your reply until after my last post. We were on the same track, though, because I did just what you suggested and it's taken care of. Thanks for taking the time to look into this! Have an awesome weekend!

Thanks for your reply. it was only when i reupped the original again that it worked.
it stops working as soon as you add

border-left:0px;

to:

div#dropMenu {
	width:70em;
	margin:0 auto;
      text-align:center;
	z-index:1000;
	position:relative;
	}

in the sylesheet_header.css

how can i make the lines at the side dissapper without it going all funny?

Thanks

Are you talking about the white lines between each menu item?

Don't add border-left:0px, simple remove the border from where it is defined:
div#dropMenu li a {display: block; padding: .6em 2em .6em 2em;text-decoration: none; text-transform:uppercase; color:#ffffff; text-align:center; border-right:1px solid #ffffff;}

Got it all fixed.
Big thanks for your time......Much appreciated

Hello

I am a newbie to the customization of ZenCart.
I just installed CSS Horizontal Drop Down Menu. This is a great addition to Zen Cart. The installation went fine once I figured where everything went. I even surprised myself.

The only problem I am having at this time is that it does not work with the older IE 6.02900. The menu is working on all browsers except there is no drop down function in the older IE. Is there a work around for this? Am I Missing something? I did read something about the .htaccess but I think that was only for the proper direction of the links.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

G

How do I go about replacing the "Contact Us" link in menu with a link to a FAQ page that I created using the define pages editor? Here's a link to my site. I'd like it to say FAQ where it says HEADER_TITLE_FAQS in the menu.

I edited the tpl_drop_menu.php file so it says the following:

<li><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_FAQS, '', 'NONSSL'); ?>"><?php echo HEADER_TITLE_FAQS; ?></a></li

I'm thinking I have a php file misnamed somewhere?

Thanks,
Brad
