I got it fixed!!!!!! It just dawned on me (I'm sure due to being absolutely exhausted blurred my brain) that I didn't need that many levels. The kids stuff is not broken down like that - at least not at this time (not enough of them to do that). Now I have to slide the rest of the links in and then I'm literally on your page.
In checking the browsers back and forth, I realized that when the menu was broken, I could see it in IE6, fixed it disappeared. That's because it's sliding up underneath the background image.
So.... I'm going to go a frig around with that and see if I can get that to go. Go check mine now... it's actually starting to look like I know what I'm doing....LOL
I'll post back on my progress, as I'm sure my fix will be yours also.
By the way... even though you didn't have the answer... having someone to whine to seemed to do the trick!! I think it re-energized me to keep working on it vs. throwing my hands up in the air.
Thanks for being a great sounding board. Sometimes that's all we need.
