Without seeing what you’ve done it sounds like you’ve got some css problems.
Here’s a pure css drop down based on a dropdown at www.cssplay.co.uk:
Create these chunks for the WayFinder call:
cssplay_inner:
<ul>
[+wf.wrapper+]
</ul>
cssplay_outer:
<div[+wf.classes+]>
<ul>
[+wf.wrapper+]
</ul>
</div>
cssplay_parentRow:
<li><a [+wf.classes+] href="[+wf.link+]" title="[+wf.title+]">[+wf.linktext+]</a>
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<a class="sub" href="[+wf.link+]" title="[+wf.title+]">[+wf.linktext+]
<table><tr><td>
<![endif]-->
[+wf.wrapper+]
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
</td></tr></table>
</a>
<![endif]-->
</li>
cssplay_row:
<li[+wf.classes+]><a href="[+wf.link+]" title="[+wf.title+]">[+wf.linktext+]</a>[+wf.wrapper+]</li>
WayFinder call:
[[Wayfinder? &startId=`0` &level=`3` &parentClass=`hide` &parentRowTpl=`cssplay_parentRow` &outerTpl=`cssplay_outer` &innerTpl=`cssplay_inner` &rowTpl=`cssplay_row` &outerClass=`menu`]]
Header code to be inserted in template:
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" href="assets/templates/yoursitename/dropdown.css" />
<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<link rel="stylesheet" media="all" type="text/css" href="assets/templates/yoursitename/dropdown_ie.css" />
<![endif]-->
Create "dropdown.css" file and a put in directory as previous step:
.menu {
font-family: arial, sans-serif;
width: 810px;
position: relative;
font-size: 12px;
z-index: 95;
height: 20px;
}
.menu ul li a, .menu ul li a:visited {
text-decoration: none;
height: 20px;
line-height: 20px;
font-size: 12px;
overflow: hidden;
text-align: right;
width: 95px;
margin: 0 30px 0 0;
padding: 2px 6px;
border: 1px solid #b4d7ec;
background: #fff url(/assets/templates/yoursite/images/menu_bullet.gif) no-repeat 6px center;
display: block;
font-weight: bold;
color: #333;
}
.menu ul {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style-type: none;
}
.menu ul li {
float: left;
margin-right: 1px;
position: relative;
margin-left: 0;
}
.menu ul li ul {
display: none;
}
/* specific to non IE browsers */
.menu ul li:hover a {
color: #000;
background-color: #deecf7;
}
.menu ul li.last a {
margin-right: 0;
}
.menu ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top: 26px;
left: 0;
width: 95px;
}
.menu ul li:hover ul li a.hide {
background: #fff;
color: #000;
}
.menu ul li:hover ul li:hover a.hide {
background: #deecf7;
color: #000;
}
.menu ul li:hover ul li ul {
display: none;
}
.menu ul li:hover ul li a {
display: block;
background: #fff;
color: #000;
border: 1px solid #b4d7ec;
border-top-style: none;
}
.menu ul li:hover ul li a:hover {
background: #deecf7;
color: #000;
}
.menu ul li:hover ul li:hover ul {
display: block;
position: absolute;
left: 95px;
top: 0;
}
.menu ul li:hover ul li:hover ul.left {
left: -95px;
}
And this css file "dropdown_ie.css" for ie6:
.menu ul li a.hide, .menu ul li a:visited.hide {display:none;}
.menu ul li a:hover ul li a.hide {display:none;}
.menu ul li a:hover {color:#000; background: #deecf7;}
.menu ul li a:hover ul {display:block; position:absolute; top:26px; left:0; width:95px;}
.menu ul li a:hover ul li a.sub {background: #fff; color: #000;}
.menu ul li a:hover ul li a {display:block; background: #fff; color:#000;
border: 1px solid #b4d7ec;
border-top-style: none;}
.menu ul li a:hover ul li a ul {visibility:hidden;}
.menu ul li a:hover ul li a:hover {background: #deecf7; color:#000;}
.menu ul li a:hover ul li a:hover ul {visibility:visible; position:absolute; left:95px; top:0; color:#000;}
.menu ul li a:hover ul li a:hover ul.left {left:-95px;}
You’ll need to style the menu further to get the look you require. Good luck!
