[QUOTE="Pelosan Emperor, post: 273453, member: 934"] First things first: [B]I think you're doing a GREAT job![/B] I noticed this problem on dropdown2 as well. I haven't used the "vertical" arrangement yet, but the examples on [URL=http://www.brothercake.com]http://www.brothercake.com[/URL] don't seen to have this problem. Perhaps it has to do with the second-level menu appearing "below" the parent button. Maybe if the "child" menu appears immediately to the right of the parent, it won't have this effect. If you can solve this issue, I would vote for the dropdown2 configuration... with one suggestion: it might look better if you move the right column contents under the navigation links on the left. If you go with the horizontal menu configuration, I would suggest that you move the menu under the site logo and addvertisement. That should keep the "layering" issue to a minimum. I don't remember who, but someone else mentioned the non-JavaScript browsers having problems with this menu system. One solution to this problem is to use images in a table as the "parent" links, then set the color and text properties of the "parent" menu to be transparent. Brothercake has a tutorial on his site. One last comment: the direct quotes are a bit too small to read easily, particularly the longer ones. I think indenting the quotes and changing the font color is sufficient to set them off from the surrounding text. PE [/QUOTE]
