I would go with Inger's suggestion and drop the DHTML menu and put up a CSS one instead.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Ok so I tried out the CSS menu builder in the HTML editor and built my menu as per the help file instructions.
Looked at it via the browser in HTML Ed and it looks like it should, a plain and simple horizontal menu with drop downs, so far so good.

Then following Rolly's instructions on his VSD website I put it into a test page on my VSD website, big Oooops!

Looking at it in preview, I now have a vertical text menu.

I accept I have done it wrong somewhere but where?

The one thing that's great for testing issues is to surf to the page that has the problem then right click and view the page source code. Now the links to the css or js files become click able and you can check to see if the actual file opens. If it doesn't then the linking is wrong or it's not on your server.:cool:

Plaste you css to the head HTML of the html box that contains the css menu code. Also make sure it's between this.

<style type="text/css">
My css code here.
</style>



Looked like you have it in the body html.;)

You'll be ok if you can delete this bit:

/* <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/menu-menu.css" media="screen">

body { }


It's down in the document body, right after the closing </ul>

Thanks Inger, that worked.
Now I have to go back and do the menu completely as this was just a trial to get used to HTML editor and CSS menu maker.

Thanks again.

Have got my menu done and nearly finished when I noticed that when I used my touch screen tablet I couldnt get down to the submenus, as soon as I touched the main menu item it went to that page and whilst it showed the sub menus I couldnt get to them.
Can I put in a delay or something to allow tablet users to choose a sub menu?
