    Maybe NOF is taking lessons from Microsoft? <g>

    Glad you got it sorted out.

    Thanks for the help.

    I ended up deleting the navigation bar and putting it back in (sort of like
    a reboot). This fixed the problem. No explanation for this.

    Hi David -

    Sorry not to get back on this sooner, but I've had to deal with other stuff.

    I now see what you mean. I've run into this as well.

    I can't tell you exactly what to do, but the last time I set up flyouts like
    this, I had to play with settings for hours. If the client had gone for
    that design, I'd still have it & be able to tell you what they were -
    unfortunately, they didn't.

    The setup is not intuitive (to me) - so all I can suggest is to try
    different things (even ones that don't make sense) & publish the current
    page locally to test. I do remember that I had to play with the spacing to
    get it right.

    Sorry I couldn't help more -

    Default Fly out submenus not acting properly

    www.trailcreekvt.com

    Flyout menus open on the right. They are set to open on the bottom.

    I did this using the "Advanced" box in the Navigation Properties.

    Any thoughts?

    Hi David -

    I just viewed the site in Firefox & flyouts are along the bottom.

    However, I think there's something else going on.

    When first loaded, the buttons are Home, Guest Comments, FAQ, Member Use
    Login & Board Use only.

    When I move the mouse over FAQ, Member Use Login changes to Links & Links
    drops down Picture Gallery. Board Use Only also acts a little strangely
    (like Member Use Login).

    I think you may have some different settings based on what level the button
    is - as I'm guessing that the Link button is a different level than Picture
    Gallery.

    Don't know if this helps any - but had to try to help another Vermonter
    (even if I am a Mad River skier...)

    You are seeing the behavior that is the problem.

    The flyout submenus go to the right so when you scroll over FAQ, the flyouts
    hide Member Use Login instead of dropping below FAQ.

    The site structure is:

    Home
    Guest Comments
    FAQ
    Links
    Picture Gallery
    Member Use Login
    Newsletter
    Message Board
    Survey
