[Pro] CSS Sub menus

Hello all
wonder if anyone cane advise on this one… I have a CSS menu with sub menu items that pop up to the right. I would like to have list pop up underneath the heading. Right now when the sub menu pops up its so close to the Main menu item. It gets confusing when viewing.

Thanks for anyones input

Can you post a link Carla but there is an action called CSS Sub Menu Position that may do what you want.

But you may just require a tweak of the settings in the CSS Menu action palette

OK - have a look at http://www.deltadesign.co/menu_stuff/edie.html

If this helps then try adding the following into Page>HTML Markup before end Head (No CSS Sub Menu Position action)

<style type="text/css">
<!-- 
#fwNav1 .fwNavItem .sub .fwNavItem {
               margin-left: 20px !important;
		}
-->
</style>

Thanks Dave
What I was going for was the 2nd sub menus NOT to be right underneath the Main menu item on the right. Like the list under Edie/Thea, the submenus items lie underneath PHOTOGRAPHS
thx for your help with this

I am not sure I follow you.

So where do you want them to be?

hey Dave
sorry i am unclear. I just do not want sub items to pop up right underneath the next Main heading.
but I am fiddling with the padding so its better now. The way you have it is without content width. I am keeping the content width on main menu.
I suppose I am asking for something that can not be done quite the way I want it. but thanks so much

If you dont want them right under the next main menu where do you want it.

Or do you mean you want a gap between the sub and the top?

Correct
I would like a pretty decent gap so the sub menu items do not get confused with next heading.
I like content width so I suppose more padding under the main menu??

Padding is inside the box, margin is outside it. If you want two
elements to repel one another, and they are on the same z-index plane,
then you can add margin to either of them and they will stay away from
one another.

To differentiate between main menu and sub menus you could of course add a colour to one of them - it could be a very subtle one.

Or to move your subs down add to my previous code snippet

<style type="text/css">
<!-- 
#fwNav1 .fwNavItem .sub .fwNavItem {
               margin-left: 20px !important;
               margin-top: 10px !important;
}
-->
</style>

But play with the values until you get what you want.

thanks Dave
I will look at that

yes Dave
I already got that effect by adding padding and I also did one with a different color background to differentiate
so all is the best I can with the css menu

would have loved an option to lay submenu directly beneath menu items instead of to the right

maybe one day
thx
