ethical:
hey get em thanks. I decided to work with the new code that ckosloff posted and it works a lot better. I am just curious to know what code i need to add/edit to:
set a different hover and background colour for the submenu items then those that I have set for the top level menu items.
the menu is live at the moment http://mypumpkindoodle.com/store
thanks

Here is a menu that's designed right off your site, so everything but the colors are the same, except with the added scroll in your level 4 menu since it was soooooooooo long.
The colors have been "mapped" out. Each level's color is shown as a color (red, green, blue, etc) instead of being hex colors.
Anyone else who uses this for a reference to change background colors, KEEP IN MIND: This was NOT customized for your site!!! This is just a color "map" for you. In THIS css, the only level that will scroll is level 4, but if you need another level to scroll, leave everything the same except the 2 level numbers, and the desired height of your scrolling box. In other words, if you need level 3 to scroll, it would look like this:
div#nav-cat ul.level2 li.submenu:hover ul.level3 { height: 200px;overflow: scroll;}[code]
This (above) tells your menu to scroll level 3 when you hover on level 2.
Any questions?

div#nav-cat ul.level3 li.submenu:hover ul.level4 { height: 200px;overflow: scroll;}
```Hope this helps everyone "map" out their colors.
And also resolve the life-long question of "How can I get my menu to scroll, because it's so long.".
