Adjusting drop-downs in NAVs [Sitemap] - Digital Grin Photography Forum

I'm working on putting together a site with drop-down NAV bars. I have them up and they seem to be almost working . . . they drop down but the first one or two from the top aren't highlighted when moused over, nor can I click on them.

Another question (I'm new to all this as you can probably tell). How do I go about linking the drop-down menus to the actual galleries I just have some blank placeholders right now for images).

One last question (for now): Is it possible to display just a single large image on the homepage (without doing a slide show or showing any thumbs)?

Site is at www.nzed.smugmug.com

Thanks for all the help.

One thing; get rid of these in your CSS.
<style type="text/css">

<!--

All of your menu items highlighted for me.

Have you checked out the customization FAQs? There's some good info there. This should help you with linking your menu to your pages:

Thanks . . . eliminated what you suggested; still can't get the first dropdown item to highlight.

Any other suggestions?

You'll probably have to go the site you got that nav version from, not sure if
anyone here is familiar with it.

Looks like you figured it out on the links, at least for the news, Features and
sports. Do the rest the same.

In your bio add this for single image.

Any other suggestions? Like I said, they all drop down for me and every item highlights. The only one that doesn't show a dropdown is the "Home" top-level item, but that's because there are no dropdown menu items defined for it.

Have you tried clearing your browser cache?

BTW, you could do this easily with a CSS-only menu. There's no need for JavaScript. Check out some of these menus:

Many of them can be downloaded and used for free.

The link I gave you earlier gives you everything you need to get a CSS-only menu working.
