Ok, so I've attempted to integrate the following menu into my hobo
app:

http://www.noupe.com/tutorial/drop-down-menu-jquery-css.html

I installed hobo-jquery for jquery support, added the css and js from
the link above to application.css and application.js respectively and
changed all the $ to "jQuery" in the js per hobo-jquery specs.

I also downloaded the images from the tutorial put them into public/
images and modified the css paths for the images to be appropriate.

Next I redefined main-nav to coincide with that of the tutorial.

<dev tag="main-nav">
  <ul class="topnav">
    <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
    <li>
        <a href="#">Tutorials</a>
        <ul class="subnav">
            <li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li>
        <a href="#">Resources</a>
        <ul class="subnav">
            <li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Sub Nav Link</a></li>
        </ul>
    </li>
    <li><a href="#">About Us</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Advertise</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Submit</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Contact Us</a></li>
  </ul>
</def>

Now, when I run this it *almost* all works. I can see the menu trying
to drop down when I click on the down arrow button, but its like it
gets hidden behind other elements on the screen.

I've tried adding "clear: left" to .section.content in clean.css but
that didn't really help.

Any ideas? I'm assuming this is a css issue, but I don't really know
where to look next. If you have hobo-jquery setup in a test
application, setting up the rest of this only takes a few minutes if
anyone out there wants to give it a shot.
