Nice menus not looking too nice?

Hello all, I have been working with nice menus a bit lately. I like them for the most part but I do seem to have a few problems.

First: in IE6 the items listed within the main categories, when displayed, sort of wedge under the parent item.
the site that this is occuring on is http://commerce.econxchange.com

Second: When using Konquerer in Linux the menu is vertical for some reason, even though I am using horizontal menus.

Front Page Promote by Taxonomy

Creating a community of users, each with their own blogs. All user-created content should post on their blog. But depending on how they categorize their blog post, it should also show up on the front page of the site. For instance, a "Front Page Topic" taxonomy of several options - should the user pick any of those options, the content will be on the front page (and also their blog). If they don't, it will show up on only their blog.

Is there a way to do this through modules?

Windows 2003 server file permissions for drupal 4.7?

Hi,
I've just installed a fresh drupal site 4.72 on Windows 2003 server with PHP5 and MySQL 5. Everything seems to be functioning until I go into administration and start modifying the settings for modules and such. For instance, using Category module I'm trying to enable the taxonomy wrapper. When I click submit I get the following error message:


* warning: copy(modules/taxonomy.module.copyme) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in D:\www\public_html\sol\modules\category\category.module on line 1500.
* The file taxonomy.module.copyme could not be copied. Unable to perform the specified operation.

If it's a permission issue, what Windows user and permissions should I be granting for the directories below?

files -
includes -
misc -
modules -
scripts -
sites -
themes -

The available permissions in Windows 2003 are:
full control
modify
read & execute
list folder contents
read
write
special permissions

What user do I grant these to? I know there's an internet guest account, should this user be given access to modify the drupal directories/files?

This is going to be an intranet site and I have ldap_module enabled in Apache to speak to active directory. I have it set to accept all domain users to view the site as guests. Could ldap cause this? I'm also going to create a public website.

A strange thing is that some modules can be modified, like I can configure content types but whenever a module needs to access a directory it seems to run into the permissions issue.

How to use drupal_http_request?

I've created Page1. Its only content is short PHP snippet which calls Page2 from drupal_http_request. Page2 contains a form. Form shows up great. When I submit the form, Page2 does not see the form data, though its parent, Page1, does. Basically I don't know how to post form data with drupal_http_request.

I've tried both:
drupal_http_request ('hello.php', array(), 'POST', $_POST);
drupal_http_request ('hello.php', array(), 'POST', 'txtTest: hello');

Probably some other variations as well. Appreciate any insight. Thanks.

Img_asst + image + image_gallery + taxonomy

I feel like I had this working once before, but after a recent upgrade I seem to have lost all functionality and the ability to group images into different galleries upon uploading them. Is there some special way I have to do this? I am using the most recent version of drupal with no significant changes to any of the necessary components. Basically everytime I attempt to view a gallery page it says there are no images in the gallery. Yet each image is cleary has a "category: some value" at the bottom. Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks.
