Thanks a bunch! Actually I had been trying that and it changed nothing on my site so I skipped it and tried to do other things to change it. When you told me that’s all you did, I started to play around with that section and use left: -5em and such and then it finally started to show up. For some reason 0em; was not sitting flush. But your post gave me ideas on how to change it and now I have it shifted down and left to fit exactly as I want it. Of course I had to do two separate files for it to appear the same in IE6 and then for IE7.

But this helped alot! Thanks!

I'm guessing that you have download the code for the downdown menu from here Nice Menus horizontal children You will see in the css code under ul.nice-menu-downdown a section left: 5em I have mine set to 0em. That is where you would want to start with the CSS.

I am wondering how you were able to get your drop downs to appear flush to the left side of your main tabs. The site I am working on displays them several pixels to the right. http://www.jni-consulting.com Can you help me figure out where my menus are not dropping down directly under the main tabs.

Hi add1sun,

Thanks for stopping by and providing a more detailed explanation. I’ve been happy with the module, and yes I’ve noticed the child issues with the horizontal menus and have just not played with the css enough to make it work.

Thanks for all the work that has gone into these modules.

Hi Glenn, so yeah the theme functions changed in the last cvs commit to make them comply with proper naming conventions. You can see the diff here: http://snipr.com/bryfj [cvs_drupal_org]. The legacy function should have worked for you though, so I’ll need to go back and look at why they didn’t. I have not been doing any upgrade path testing for the dev version at all yet, so yes, you need to be very careful when you use dev versions and it is a good habit to look at the changes before you upgrade. You can see recent code commits using the “View CVS messages” link on a project page (at the bottom under Development). When a CVS message has a #1234 number that will take you to the issue from the queue that is associated with the change and probably explains a bit more.

I should also note that I do appreciate people who use and test dev versions so I can get feedback and I can fix things up. I don’t use Nice menus on any of the sites I manage so I am dependent on users to report bugs to me. So, please create an issue stating the problem you had since this will be an upgrade issue for everyone when they move to the 6.x-2.x version once it is officially released. Also, if you are interested in having the horizontal stuff directly in NM, there is an issue with a patch that could use some love (http://drupal.org/node/195328). Thanks for blogging this!
