Hi everyone -- I am crash-coursing on Drupal 7 using the Danland theme, which incorporates Superfish.
One of my Main Menu items (a.k.a Primary LInks in Drupal6-ese) is "About". Submenus under About are "Our Mission", "Our Team" etc.
I have the submenus working fine, but I'm having a problem in that in the Menus setup I can't make an About menu item on the top level that links to NO page because the Path is a required field. I only want the submenus to have links.
I have tried making About point to the same node as Our Mission. But then the problem is that in Firefox 4 a hover over the top-level menus does not drop the sub-menus. A click on the top-level menu is required. This has the effect of putting the user on the Our Mission page instead (after the submenu items briefly show & then disappear again). Then they have to click on About again to drop the submenus but after some sort of js (or something) processing the submenus close up after a split second.
So. Is there either any way to make Superfish submenus work in FF4 (by "work" I mean drop upon hover) OR is there a way to have a parent item (i.e., in the top-level Main Menu) with no path entered?
thanks,
kazar

Did you try special menu items http://drupal.org/project/special_menu_items ?

Sivaji, thanks for that info. This looks helpful for the paid subscription links I'm setting up now. Makes much more sense than having to come up with extra unneeded verbiage for the parent menu item.

finally got around to having a look at this today, i love the idea of placeholder menu items. Darn, no D7 version" though
Never mind! I isolated the problem as being a beta extension I had installed. (FWIW, the cubbi.es firefox add-on for Diaspora) Once I disabled that extension the submenus drop just fine in FF4.
