I think the reason you haven’t gotten a response may be confusion over what the problem is. Your drop down menus look like they work just by browsing your site.

Just out of curiosity, why not use CSS Menu action with a list to do the same thing? You can still have background graphics doing it this way.

A quick way to create drop downs, is to use the menu bar action item applied to a table. Fast and easy for creating dropdowns using text. Here is what it looks like, http://pruskyservices.com/index.html
How was your ball game at San Quentin?

Game was great. Those guys are really the nicest ball players I have ever played.

As for the CSS Menu Action, I guess I didn’t know you could do this with graphic text?

I do this quite a bit…but have never thought about writing a step by step…so bear with me…
Draw a table on the page that will contain the main menu items. Then on the paste board off to the side, (or above or below, it just must be on the pasteboard)…draw another table. In the inspector name this table “submenus”. Go back and select the first table and select “Item-> Action-> Menu Bar” , that will pull up an action pallet, the first section deals with the behavior of the items on the table that is visible on the page. Just below that click on the item that reads,“Menu Items (table:'”, from here select the “submenu” table that you have made. That should do it, you can mess around with all of the other parameters to change how the menu items and the sub menu items look and behave…hope that helps.

I have just posted a reported problem with this on my site, the menu
and submenu are “bouncing” all around and cannot be clicked on. Are
you not experiencing this?
