Thank you, Alan. And, yes, I do want to make the site accessible to everyone. At the moment you can click on any of the top level choices and if they happen to have subnavigation then that will appear in the left sidebar. BTW, are there dropdown menus out there that do work with keyboards in addition to mice?

I'm thinking this is a CSS issue. Any > ideas? Thanks in advance.? ? Hello Christian,? ? It is this bit of CSS.? ? #navList UL {? ? margin-left: 1px;? ? position: absolute;? ? width: 12em;? ? /* top: 1.2em; <-- DELETE */? ? top: 100%; /* ADD */? ? display: none;? }? ? BTW, the initial hover for the nested list,? ? #navList LI:hover UL {? ? display: block;? }? ? will not work for people who can only use the keyboard to navigate a web page. You may want to select a different approach.? ? <http://www.tyssendesign.com.au/articles/css/dropdown-low-down/>? ? -- Alan http://css-class.com/? ?
