I'm not going insane. What a relief! I have been losing the battle against drop-down menus here for some time, but now I have ammunition to use in the fight. You think you've mastered the code, and then the client opens your test site in an archaic browser set to a screen resolution that even the Blind Center finds unnecessarily large, and the two (yeah that's right… TWO) items in the one drop-down appear at the top left hand corner of the screen. Yeah, it's been one of those days. Thanks for the laugh, and timely info – I needed both! Wow. I’m not going insane. What a relief!

I was getting along with them, until I decided to road-map my entire site through the menu items. Turns out when you lose your mind like this, so does the code. Starts displaying the sub-sub-sub menus completely off the monitor. Was just looking to see if anybody had fixed this yet when I ran into this. funny indeed. Problematic for me, but funny nonetheless. Interesting hate_menu posts. I was getting along with them, until I decided to road-map my entire site through the menu items.

Almost immediately, I ran into the problem of my dropdown menus appearing behind the applet instead of in front. I scoured the web for many days, searching for a solution, and mostly what I found were suggestions to rearrange the page so that the menus simply wouldn’t drop down in front of something (an answer I found to be particularly frustrating), unanswered pleas for help often accompanied by insane and intimidating code posts (Dreamweaver’s drop-down menus come with a nasty-looking javascript file), or criticisms of Dreamweaver’s drop-down menus (and rightly so), with suggestions to go find a free one or follow some tutorials. I also fell upon Andy Finnell’s criticism (http://www.losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/11/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/) of the menus, and you know it’s pretty bad when even the guy who had a part in developing part of the menus tells you not to use them.
