Its a great tutorial and it looks great with my website. Just one question, how could I change it to look like a mega drop down menu with 4 columns under each main link for example? Any ideas?? thanks

I am developing it on localhost, it is not on production server, to be descriptive, when i click the other menu’s item, the topmenu is visible, but after I click the topmenu’s menu item, the topmenu will be invisible

Thanks,

Helen

You should give us your site link , I mean live site link so that we can all check and try to figure out what's wrong.

Oh how EXCELLENT!! I fixed it!! For others with the same problem this is what I did:

changed line 7 from the menu css which is

#menu li ul { visibility: hidden; position:absolute; }

#menu li ul { visibility: hidden; position:absolute; top: 2em; left: 0;}

you can play around with the top margin till it is at a satisfactory depth to your top menu.

Hope that helps…

I am very happy!!! Thanks again!!
