CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

**aozhaver** · 14 Oct 2010, 10:09 PM

I am quoting an older post for my exact same problem.

Sadly that member did not leave any details of a solution except to say they sorted it.

Would anyone have any idea where to put the extra code in the tpl_header.php file? -I attach a copy of it here.

I'm posting that template's tpl_header.php -- but am not sure it's as simple as that -- hoping that maybe possibly someone could please maybe possibly help me figure this out

However, I cannot find the END of the logo/navigation section -- it doesn't seem to be commented in the file.

And so far, wherever I try to place the menu code it wipes out the rest of the template.

I'm using this template
and want the menu just below the main header graphic where the template actually has their horizontal navigation (which is actually ez-pages navigation)

I COULDNT UPLOAD THE FILE SO HERE IS ITS CONTENTS

PHP Code:
