Hello All,
I asked a few months ago about the best Drop down menu to use and got the answer Nice Menu's. My client and I have noticed that it has some odd behavior about pausing and not working (especially if the menu line is not active) and now that I actually use more than the first link now, it occurs so much that it is an issue.
Is there a way to fix this or a better drop down menu system to use (need a horizontal menu able to do up to 4 levels of information (I will use menu block to split it, but still need the functionality). (please send links if possible)
Thanks,

AFAIK, Nice Menus is the best 'drop-down' menu available for Drupal (short of building your own). If you're having problems with it, I recommend looking through the issue queue (http://drupal.org/project/issues/nice_menus) for possible solutions or, failing that, posting your own message to the issue queue describing the problems you're having. Someone can then help with your problem and anyone that has that same problem in the future will also be helped.

Hey everyone!
I already sent this to Holly, so just for the record: take a look http://drupal.org/project/superfish

Let me know what do you think!

So far I love superfish.
Regarding nice menus: It seems like the design change that I want to make like border: 0; as well as a few other nice edits causes errors in the coding. Have no idea why.
I installed superfish and it's working great. It loves my site, I love it, and everyone is getting along. :D
Can someone please let me know which css lines I need to get the following (my brain is refusing to work anymore and me and superfish aren't understanding what eachother wants)...
I have the background colors for each level and the rollover the way I want them. I just can't figure out how to get the text colors to change depending on the levels. ------
I want the top line (primary links) of my horizontal menu to be white on blue (on rollover and when it is active I want them to turn green because they will be on a gray background).
I want the secondary links to be green (they have a background of light gray and a gray will be their rollover.).
So
____________ News & Events (white text on blue, On rollover Green text on gray) ____________ >> Current News (I want this to be green text on light gray, rollover lighter green on a darker gray)
.sf-menu a, .sf-menu a:visited { color:white; }
.sf-menu li a, .sf-menu li a:visited { color: green; }
Right now it is making all the levels the same colors (and since I have two different background colors... I don't like that... And it changes the colors when visited and I don't want that either (it's fine if it's a secondary link though))

Hello,
I'm having a problem with Superfish and transparencies in IE7.
I have implemented my own styling and shows up great in Firefox but in IE7, there is a dark black gradient that loads quickly on mouse over of the first level in the menu which quickly turns into the colour of my second level but with a gradient from nothing to full colour in the li. So basically, the right hand bottom corner is see through (I can see through to the web page) and the top left corner is my 1px repeating blue png with 10% opacity. It's hard to explain.
I've turned off the shadow in the UI in Drupal, that doesn't help. I have no idea what is causing this gradient from right to left to happen (it's supposed to be solid colour with some transparency but as a unified transparent colour).
Is it the javascript or css and why does it have that initial dark gradient load for a split second on all mouseovers of second and third levels.
Please help.
Robin

It's amazing what walking away from a project and coming back later will do.
Here's the solution to the second levels having different text colors and rollovers.
.menuparent li a, .menuparent li a:visited { color:#90A326; }
.sf-menu a, .sf-menu a:visited { color:white; }
.sf-menu li:hover, .sf-menu li.sfHover, .sf-menu a:focus, .sf-menu a:hover, .sf-menu a:active, .sf-menu li a:hover { -moz-background-clip:border; -moz-background-inline-policy:continuous; -moz-background-origin:padding; background-color:#B6CF30; color: white; }
.sf-menu li li, .sf-menu li li li, .sf-menu li a.visited { -moz-background-clip:border; -moz-background-inline-policy:continuous; -moz-background-origin:padding; background: #eee none repeat scroll 0 0; }
Hope that helps someone else.
