Can the CSS Dropdown menu be configured to look like the Chrome menu over at Dynamic Drive?

I'm sure it could. :smile: You can view their css to get some ideas on how to do it.

jettrue,
it looks like they're doing it here.

can this be done in Includes/classes/categories_ul_generator.php?

Looks like it can but Im not a coder or a mysql guy. :D

thanks in advance for any help.

Well, in the readme.txt file, I list all the changed files for each upgrade. So, you can leave some files alone, and replace only the ones I've adjusted. You can use a file comparison tool like WinMerge to show you exactly what the differences for those updated files are, so you can keep your changes, and only merge in the stuff you want.

Ok, I found there to be 11 files that were slightly different so I decided to try and upload them, and mostly it went well, but now when I go to the 'specials' page from the 'home' menu, the side boxes are suddenly on the left. But if I put products on special and they're on that page the sideboxes are normal.
Also, if I go to the 'submit a new faq' page, the sideboxes are not only on the left, but they're at the bottom of the page, under the body of the text, and the header menu is at the very top of the page.
Now as far as I can tell, those are the only problems. I'm a complete newb when it comes to scripting, php, html etc. So I have no clue what to look for.

Specials page

Any suggestions? Thanks.

I have found that after installing this mod (which I LOVE by the way) everything looks fine in IE but in Firefox the contents of the site are actually outside the mainwrapper. The URL is http://shop.perchconsulting.com and any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Add <div class="clearBoth"></div> to the very end of includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_drop_menu.php

Try this.

Thanks bob_p, I never even thought to check IE. I use Firefox myself and when I look I only look in FF. So I went and looked in IE and oh my it seems to have some troubles loading different pages. I'm not sure what to do. On some pages it decides not to display the header, and sometimes it won't show content at all. Very strange.

You could try validating your site. Try the HTML validator add-on/extension for Firefox.

Did you know that your site is entirely running ssl? Don't know if this might cause errors but will probably slow down the site.

You are the MAN (or WOMAN, as the case may be). This worked perfectly :)

Thanks!

CES:

Try this.

You're welcome.

Don't thank me, thank Jettrue.

Man by the way!

I'm glad it all worked out.

Thanks. I will try it and let you know the outcome.

It's not an extra trailing cell.

Anyway, you put the noLine in the wrong place, it should be on the my account link:

<li class="submenu"><a class="noLine" href="index.php?main_page=account">My Account</a>

Make sure you re-uploaded all the files in the common/ folder, css folder, and let me know how it looks then. It also looks like you do have a missing div or something somewhere, so after doing the above, let me know, and I'll try to trackdown where it came from.

Hello,

First off I have to say I love this menu, and thanks for the great help. I have read almost every post and have found many answers to the questions I have had!

I have not found out if it's possible to move the menu higher on my page. I would like it to actually be on my header. I have a space between my header and sidebox and and looking to how to get rid of it.

Basically, I need the header menu to be on the header and the sidebox to meet the header with out a gap.

Is it possible to move either of these?

Thanks for the help.

Please update to the new version in the download section (link in my sig).

I downloaded the latest version and it works Great in IE7 and FireFox but not in IE6. I added the lines in the .htaccess file but the dropdowns do not work in IE6. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Open up your includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/commom/tpl_header.php and change and instances of

to

Then replace your .clearBoth in your stylesheet.css with this:

.clearBoth {
clear:both;
height:0;
font-size:0;
line-height:0;
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

Let me know how that works out.

Can I see your site?

I get this question over and over and over. Please pay close attention to this section of the readme.txt:

5. For full compatibility with IE browsers prior to IE7, you can add the sample code within the "additions to .htaccess" file to your .htaccess file.

Also confirm that:

includes/csshover.htc

is uploaded.

Hi,

I never said it would remove the space, it would only remove the line at the end of the menu. I have no answer on removing the space in opera, its gonna have to stay there. If the line is still there, let me know, it may not be in the right spot again.

Hello again.
I'm having a problem that is serious for me. Because of an ad campaign, I need to have this page working and just can't figure out what is going on with it.

When I link to my home page from admin, the EZpage, called "Wholesale" works fine the first time. Everytime thereafter, the 2 links, which are under "Contact Us" and include the "About Us" and "Wholesale" EZpages, are disabled on the dropdown and shows up as much smaller text and dropdown boxes.

Can you help with this please. Here is the link to my store. https://www.thelotetree.com. I have it showing down for maintenance, but will release it if necessary to get help.

Thanks in advance
