I have made a mock for a fire apparatus company.
I am using a CSS menu. If you go under apparatus you will see the drop
down but you can not scroll to pick one wo it disappearing.
I have made the css menu come to front and the pix / fade go backwards…
what else am i missing to make this work.
Thank you
You need to make sure you have full paragraph breaks between your menu
items, from looking at the code it looks like you have soft-breaks
(holding shift when pressing return). The easiest way to see this is
to turn on Invisibles in the View menu. If there are arrows instead of
an inverted P character at the end of each line then you’ll need to
delete them and press return after each one.
Hope this helps.

Try changing the style of the entire list so it’s on default (the
menus Actions removes the bullets). I didn’t think it would matter if
the style of the lists was mixed but apparently it does (currently you
have a default list in the top level and an unbulleted or unindented
one in the second).

Ok I put it back to the soft returns because at least w that all
choices show… but when i go to select the lower choices, it
disappears.
Thank you for any help…

Remove all list settings and also remove the CSS Menus action - turn
it back into pure plain, hard-return-separated text. Then select all the text and click that List indent button once. Then select
the lines you want as one of the submenus and indent it once more. Do
that for each set of submenu items.
Ignore the fact that it now has clunky bullets and looks like
mid-1990s formatting.
Apply the CSS Menus action. Preview. Go back and configure it a bit.
Preview again.
From Joe’s comments it looks like you may have had the text set as a
list in multiple parts. It all needs to be one list, no tweaks at
all other than second-level list indents for submenus.
I will do tha this eve and let you know Keith

FWIW:
You apparently have set the background color of your css menu for the
current selected menu item to “none” i.e. Transparent. When you
select Appratus->Specialty_Trucks, the background of the underlying
text shows through. Very hard to read. Set the background to some color.
also I just checked it and it has a Lt. gray background… I re uploaded.
Thank you for catching that
