Changed the height to 28 in both the ul and the > li tags. Many thanks. Now everyone is happy. I didn't need to change > the margins. Really? If your intention is to prevent anyone from selecting anything from a submenu then it "worked". Also as I recall someone warned you about using pixels to define blocks containing text. Have you seen what happens when you bump the text size up just once? The submenus drop down out of reach... Was going to check the CSS but hunting through 65KB was a bit too much. There are plenty of simple horizontal menu from a list examples out there what work. -- Take care, Jonathan ------------------- LITTLE WORKS STUDIO http://www.LittleWorksStudio.com |

In fact we should advocate no dropdown menu No need to go that far if vot I say above is carried out! The main problem, as I see it, of advocating no dropdown menus is that Ed Mullens will have kittens. -- dorayme |
