Hello Andrew,

I have to admit, it took me some time to figure this one out. I even called one of the development team guys to help but we couldn’t find why the submenus didn’t show up. I finally found the problem, a very simple one I’d might add. You’ve set your submenus to appear at the “click” event and not “rollover”. Also, you have some HTML errors on the page, I remember only a missing quote at one of the div’s before the Image Show.

So, the solution is to edit the menu, go to Animation tab, submenu behavior and there select “open submenu on Rollover”.

If you still have the problem please write to us again.

Kind regards,
Andrei Rinciog

PS: Sorry for the late solution, i hope it's not too late though.

Hi Andrei

Thanks for the solution, ordinarily that would be fine but the company who want the website specifically asked to be able to click on the submenu hedding, is there any way around this ? I myself am happy to use the rollover animation but i need to make the click option work ;-(

P.S Nope the solution wasnt too late and Im very gratefull for your help :-)

Hello again Andrew,

But, the submenus do appear after you click one of the buttons. At least for me they do. What version of Firefox do you use for testing ? I have version 3.0.4.

Kind regards,
Andrew Payne

Hi Andrei

Thanks for the quick reply, I'm using Firefox Ver 3.0.4. and yes the menus seem to work randomly, the click certainly works all the time but most of the time you cant select an item from the sub menu.

I've got my fingers crossed you can help on this one, I admit the HTML might be messy so I'm hoping I've put something in the wrong place somewhere ?? :-)

Hello Andrew,

The menu don’t work because of the “overflow “ property of that div that’s beneath the menu. I’ve tried to keep it, but if it’s set to ‘auto’ or to ‘scroll’ then the menus are submenus are not working. The only solution is to set the overflow to “hidden” but I don’t think that it will help you very much.

Kind regards,
Andrei Rinciog

Andrei,

Do you think there will be a fix coming out for this issue? I have menus that drop down over containers that need overflow set to 'auto', so I can't hide that scroll bar.

Hi

Still havent fixed this problem and the owner of the site is insisting on firefox compatibility, the overflow has to be set to "auto" and changing the menu selection option to rollover does not work HELP this is now a real issue for me now.
