anwipr, perhaps if you explained what is wrong, everyone else has it working...

memered, it's ul because it's an Unordered List, ol is Ordered List which uses numbers, not bullets, by default.

well I know what they mean but I modified the code and I wrote instead of ul->ol and it works very well. so I just wanted to know how come you used ul? is there a specific reason or it was simply your choise?

It's simply a matter of correct markup, you're not meant to use ol when there are no numbers or numberals or way of showing it is ordered. ul is ok for menu's, ol really isn't. It works out the same way but it's all about having clean, semantic code I guess.

ok, thanks a lot! I have another problem with it. If I write smth below that drop down menu (because is designed display:block) and I put the mouse cursor on a button from the menu, the html text is being pushed aside by the drop down menu. how can I fix that?

Get that IE work-around yet? That must be the problem and hey -- I happen to love IE. I have a lot of grief with my CSS rendering just so in Firefox, while it does fine in every other browser, so they all have their glitches, which in summary, is a pain in the butt all the way around for designing, IMHO.

Hi guys, I've returned! I'm just bumping this thread, perhaps it can be re-stickied? I'm also willing to help with issues, just post!

I won't reply to those issues above, since they are old and probably out of date.

If it's referenced in the stickies, then it's not going to be re-stuck. The links are there.

But I'm willing to help

Yeah, thats an IE issue, I'm not sure why it's not working really. IE is just useless. Anyone got any ideas?

IE6 and below will not hover on anything except the <a>, so you still need a bit of scripting to force it. Do a google search for 'whatever hover' - it works like a charm. You put the .htc file in the root, put a single line in the CSS file for behavior and IE will work.
