CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello, CMSMS newbie 

I am working on a new installation of CMSMS 1.4.1 and i am attempting to put up a multi-tiered horizontal navigation menu. The menu has two tiers, and only certain tier 1 nodes have children. What i have encountered is this: when a tier 1 node that has children is selected and therefore becomes active - it 'disappears' behind the other nodes to it's right (further down). I believe this is an error on my part in the css. I have reviewed the menu manager help and i am using the options to designate the start page as well as the visibility of the layers properly.

i do have the following statement in my css file

#menu li{
float: left;
}

which seems necessary to me to keep the list items next to one another in the horizontal bar. I wonder if this same style is causing the active, teir 1, parent list item to be "floated over" if you will. Any suggestions?

the problem site can be viewed at http://annaandfriendssalon.com/index.php?page=about-us
in this example, the item "About Us" is no longer visible among the tier 1 items. that's what i can't figure out

here is a snippet from my CSS file relating to the menu:

#menu{
padding-left: 38px;
padding-top: 19px;
}

#menu li{
float: left;
}

#menu li a{
text-decoration: none;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 10px 4px;
}

#menu .currentpage h3{
}

#menu li a:hover{
background-color:#715947;
}

#menu li ul{
margin-top: -47px;
}

#menu li ul li a{
text-decoration: none;
color: #715947;
padding: 3px 4px;
}

#menu li ul li a:hover{
background-color:#715947;
color: #ffffff;
}

To those who put their effort into CMSMS, keep up the great work. I enjoy this system and look forward to learning and using more. Thanks again!

Can you tell me how you solved this? i have the same problem.

kind regards Huub
