Vertical pop out menu problems

I am having a bit of trouble with my sub navigation. I have added a page to one of the main menu items but it is not appearing when i rollover the parent. I have attached an image to show the structure of my pages (see pages.gif).

Basically i am trying to create the effect found here: http://themes.cmsmadesimple.org/orangegreyshadow.html

I am using the following content for my template code:

Code: Select all

</__body>

<div id="container">
	<div id="intro">
		<div id="pageHeader">
		</div>

		<div id="menuBack">
		     
                               {menu template='cssmenu.tpl'}
                               <p class="p2"><span></span></p>
			
		</div>

		<div id="colorButtons">
			<p class="p1"><span></span></p>
			<p class="p2"><span></span></p>
			<p class="p3"><span></span></p>
		</div>
	</div>

	
	<div id="linkList">
		
		{cms_module module="news"}
	
	</div>

   	
	<div id="supportingText">
      
	{content}

	</div>

	<div id="footer">
         
		<a href="http://www.stuartbogle.com" title="stuartbogle.com">created by: stuartbogle.com</a>   </div>

	</div>

</div>

<__body>
And i am using the following as my menu stylesheet:

Code: Select all

/* Vertical menu for the CMS CSS Menu Module */
/* by Alexander Endresen */


/* The wrapper determines the width of the menu elements */
#menuwrapper { 
   width: 100%; 
}


/* Unless you know what you do, do not touch this */ 
#primary-nav, #primary-nav ul { 
   list-style: none; 
   margin: 0px; 
   padding: 0px; 
   width: 100%; 
   margin-left: 0px;
}

#primary-nav ul { 
   position: absolute; 
   top: 0px; 
   left: 100%; 
   display: none; 
}
#primary-nav li { 
   margin-bottom: -1px; 
   position: relative; 
}


/* Styling the basic apperance of the menu elements */
#primary-nav a { 
   display: block; 
   padding: 5px 60px; 
   margin: 1px 0px; 
   background:  url(images/nav_normal.gif) left bottom;
   background-repeat: no-repeat;
   color: #606a70;
   text-decoration: none; 
   backgound: transarent; 
   min-height:1em; /* Fixes IE7 whitespace bug*/ 
}

#primary-nav a:hover {
display: block; 
   padding: 5px 60px; 
   margin: 1px 0px; 
   background:  url(images/nav_over.gif) left bottom;
   background-repeat: no-repeat;
   color: #fa661c;
   text-decoration: none; 
   backgound: transarent; 
   min-height:1em; /* Fixes IE7 whitespace bug*/ 

}


#primary-nav li, #primary-nav li.menuparent { 
   background-color: #fff; 
   min-height:1em; /* Fixes IE7 bug*/
}


/* Styling the basic apperance of the active page elements (shows what page in the menu is being displayed) */
#primary-nav li.menuactive { 
   background-image:  url(images/nav_over.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
 
}

/* Styling the basic apperance of the menuparents - here styled the same on hover (fixes IE bug) */
#primary-nav li.menuparent, 
#primary-nav li.menuparent:hover, 
#primary-nav li.menuparenth { 
   background-image: url(images/cms/arrow.gif); 
   background-position: center right; 
   background-repeat: no-repeat; 
}


/* Styling the apperance of menu items on hover */
#primary-nav li:hover, 
#primary-nav li.menuh, 
#primary-nav li.menuparenth, 
#primary-nav li.menuactiveh { 
   background-image:  url(images/nav_over.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
 
}



/* The magic - set to work for up to a 3 level menu, but can be increased unlimited */
#primary-nav ul, 
#primary-nav li:hover ul, 
#primary-nav li:hover ul ul, 
#primary-nav li.menuparenth ul, 
#primary-nav li.menuparenth ul ul { 
   display: none; 
}
#primary-nav li:hover ul, 
#primary-nav ul li:hover ul, 
#primary-nav ul ul li:hover ul, 
#primary-nav li.menuparenth ul, 
#primary-nav ul li.menuparenth ul, 
#primary-nav ul ul li.menuparenth ul { 
   display: block; 
}


/* IE Hack, will cause the css to not validate */

#primary-nav li, #primary-nav li.menuparenth { _float: left; _height: 1%; }
#primary-nav li a { _height: 1%; }


/* section header */
#primary-nav li.sectionheader {
   border-left: 1px solid #006699; 
   border-top: 1px solid #006699; 
   font-size: 130%;
   font-weight: bold;
   padding: 1.5em 0 0.8em 0.5em;
   background-color: #fff;
   margin: 0;
   width: 100%;
}


/* separator */
#primary-nav li hr.separator {
   display:block;
   height: 0.5em;
   color: #abb0b6;
   background-color: #abb0b6;
   width: 100%;
   border:0;
   margin:0;
   padding:0;   
   border-top: 1px solid #006699;
   border-right: 1px solid #006699;
}
I just cant understand why nothing is happening when i roll over the menu. I know i have included images for the menu but i don't think this would have anything to do with it not working.

Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Thanks
