CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

[scrap]

Hi there and thanks for a fantastic mod! I've modified the menu quite heavily, but found no way of creating a "tree". What I basically want to do is...

Menu header 1
  |_ Submenu A
     |_ Item A
     |_ Item B
     |_ Item C
  |_Submenu B
  |_Submenu C
  |_Submenu D
     |_ Item A
     |_ Item B
     |_ Item C

How do I create the tree branches for Item A-B-C? This has nothing to do with categories, as I've already removed them, but with ordinary menu items. Categories seems to rely on ul_generator, I want to go way more simple and hard code it in there.

Bump. Noone?

Hi,

I need some help getting my styling right with this mod.

Biggest issue is with the sub-cats. When they show up, the borders are not long enough on either sides and the name of the cats are not centered at all - they favor the top portion of the space. Also when they come up, they are about halfway up the 'block' of the main cats.

The main cats are ok, but I would like them to be more centered in their blocks, they favor the top. Also for 'Gift Catalog, when you hover the mouse over it, the bottom border disappears!

I guess the best thing I can do is to give a link to my site, so that you can see what I'm saying: http://www.a u t o m o t i v e a c e.com. The site is currently down for maint' don't worry about that.

Also here is the css, I have made some changes (in an attempt to custom style it!) which have comments by them:

body {  
	behavior: url(includes/csshover.htc);

I only want one layer of categories to show in the Dropdown box.

Right now if you hover to Products-> books it will show several sub categories of books. I would like the Dropdown menu to only show books and then you can click on books and go to the books page and select the subcategories.

This would eliminate 20 links from every page and if they are subcategories they do not need to be linked from every page.

I am trying to lower the number of links from each page to less than 100 because google says they want less than 100 links on each page.

Can we get some help here?

Hi,

I just uploaded all the files, but I can't see the menu. I think I must have turned something off ages ago when I set the site up. Can you tell me what I've turned off?

Thanks!

I have just been told to turn on the Categories-Tabs Menu. This has done something...but not sure if it is what I'm after??? It certainly turned something on, but it is above the header (I thought it would be under) and it isn't a drop down type menu. So, there is either a different menu I need to turn on, or that is it and I now have a problem with the mod itself re positioning and not being a drop down.

I don't think jettrue has been around lately, unfortunately.

As well as uploading all the files, did you insert the lines of code into the header file?

Sorry I can't be more specific at the moment but I'm doing this from memory and it's been quite a while since I installed this mod. I'm sure all the instructions are in the readme.

Thanks. Turns out I was putting the header info too high up in the file. I moved it down and it fixed the issue.
