Support for CSS Flyout Menu

[SalonRoyalty]

Ok, I'm not sure I have this setup right. Here's the deal...the catagories you see in the left navigation were all created in the catagories/products page in admin. Now I'm looking to make it a little more organized and remove the header navigation. Here's how I want it:

Home
Products
Services
My Account
Contact Us
Company

There will be sub catagories as there are now but the problem is, I can't create a Home link via catagories/products. If I try to use EZ Pages and enable it for sidebox it doesn't show up. Have I set this thing up wrong or what?

That's the way it's supposed to work.
I still cannot understand why users want to input extraneous links in a categories menu.
What's wrong with the Home link that comes stock in Zen Cart?
You can also put it in the footer of your page.

Because it makes things more organized in one location plus, it's a matter of personal preference. So, is there no way to make this happen?

This is a categories menu, your question is not relevant to a support thread.
Zen Cart is open source, you can customize it the way you want, so feel free to hack the code.
There are also other menu options out there, which might better suit your personal preferences.

Hello,

Please have a look at this page: http://s266460223.onlinehome.us/shop

It is very strange: if you move your cursor to "lighting" and go to sub-categories, then go to the next category "Furniture" and go to its' sub-categories. Now, when you go back again and move your cursor to Lighting's second sub-categorie "Floor Lamp", it jumps to Furniture's sub-categories.

I know it is "z-index"problem. But I couldn't seem to fix it. Can anybody help?

Thank you in advance.

I did have a look with Firefox and was unable to reproduce the issue you mention.
When you click on a subcat it correctly displays the items, until you click on another subcat.
That is the way it is supposed to work.
I didn't see any z-index problem.
Still don't understand what your problem is.

While I still don't understand your problem, I think this can help.
Make sure you make images for each cat and subcat too, if you want the mod to work optimally.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.
I don't know if it has the same problem with Firefox or other browsers, but it happens with IE.. I've checked using several PCs and all have the same problem.

Can you have a look using IE?

Thanks again.

Sorry I forgot to mention that the problem only happens when your cursor is where the category (red area) and sub-categories (yellow) overlap.. That's why I'm quite sure it is z-index problem..

Still cannot reproduce (with IE), please show a screenshot.
However I do see that your navigation breadcrumb menu still doesn't show the intermediate category.
You can correct that with the script I posted.
