When I view your source code I am seeing multile <html> and <body> tags. I don't know if it is the exact cause, but I would definitely fix these.

Thanks,

Anne

Thanks for the reply anne as usual

Would this be in the header file? Of the main page file?

I am not sure where this code is. If you view the page source, you will see them. I would use the developers toolkit to search for the code.

Thanks,

There are <li> elements that are not rendering in the menu.

All of the <li> options are given 28px space to be in, even if they aren't displaying text.

Also the menu structure is a bit off for the number of options it's drawing.

So, when I change your div#dropMenu, level1 and submenu it continues to draw the <li> element as if it was displaying text.

I assume you turned off various menu options the template originally had turned on?

I added back the menu items and the header is still off center. It seems to do this whenever i made changes to the product listing php file. Would this have anything to do with the header?

Fixed it by correcting the #dropmenu width, centered with the margins, then setup the UL box to float in the middle. The tpl_drop_menu.php dropped unused div's.

The dynamic UL generator was unchanged it continues to dynamically create the actual menu options.
