Hey,

So I'm using arthemia and loving it, styling it a little to produce my website - http://www.exetermedsoc.co.uk

However, my one problem I have at the moment is the drop down menu system. I used to use NICE menu module and hovering over the top line, would make a drop down menu for the next layer of menu and then hovering over one of those would bring up the next layer to the right hand side of the item.

However, in arthemia, this second hover doesn't occur, but when you click on it and go to the page, when re-accessing the drop down menu, it shows the next layer of menus but they are overlayed over the top of the original drop down menu which is very ugly and hard to use

Is there a way (or some code) to style the menu so that it goes:

Menu 1
I
Menu 2 --> Menu 3

Does that make sense? Hopefully this is in the works of being fixed?

Any help in the meantime? - Cheers, Ed

I am aware of the bug, but I have had no luck in finding a solution that works well yet - it always breaks down at some level, so I left the simplest in where the basic drop down works.

Any help in solving this would be much appreciated. Something to start with:

#page-bar li li ul {
  top:0px;
  left:122px;
  display: none!important;
}

#page-bar li li:hover ul {
  display: block!important;
  border-left: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
}

It is not pretty and also it does not work with menu items below the third level.

I have just committed the above code to cvs so the nightly dev release should contain it. I would lvoe for it to be improved further though, so any design help welcome.

Just tried it out. Nice start, but each 3rd tier menu system all starts at the top to the right of the drop down menu, so when you try and expand a menu on the bottom of the drop down, the sub-menu is displayed at the top and so you cant click on them. Probably only needs a little more code and it will be good. Here's to hoping!

I've got another issue with the drop-down menu. After updating to 6.14, the drop-down menus no longer sit flush under their title menu, what's going on here? Find me @ bruinco.com Occurs of FF 3.5, IE 8, haven't tried safari or other versions of IE yet.

I had someone helping me on the theme who was able to get the first level of dropdowns to work, but now that I added another entry to the menu I can't get the dropdown to work unless I first click on the link. Once it loads that page, the dropdown works (ex. asia-gazette.com the About menu does not drop down).
I don't think I'll be upgrading to the newer version because I read there will be a port for Arthemia in Drupal 7 so it doesn't make sense to go crazy over this right now. But is there a way to globally fix this menu issue in Arthemia 6.x-1.0 once and for all?
