-I have two horizontal navigation areas using Son of Suckerfish dropdowns
-the 2nd area is also using background image replacement
-one page has a Flash file where the 2nd level dropdowns were getting

The dropdowns are there, but they're showing up off the screen to the
right. You should be able to see a portion of the About OSC
dropdown. The rest are off somewhere. IE7 works fine, as well as
Safari and FIrefox (Windows and Mac). With Firefox on the Mac, it
sometimes hides behind the Flash
I've run into a real poser with using drop down menus and IE6 (real
surprise). Here's the scenario:
-I have two horizontal navigation areas using Son of Suckerfish dropdowns
-the 2nd area is also using background image replacement
-one page has a Flash file where the 2nd level dropdowns were
I was hoping someone here might be able to give me an alternate idea for
this situation.
I'm using the Son of Suckerfish dropdowns on a client's site (I can't post
the link, as I'm a subcontractor, and I have an NDA - so I'll do my best to
describe the issue at hand!). The issue is this:
hover links to expand the submenus. The thing is, some of
the lists get *really* long, and when you hover over a menu
selection, the dropdown will fall below the viewable area of
the screen (I'm on 1280 x 1024 - and it even does it to me -
I can't imagine what's being cut off from view

This seems less of a CSS issue and much more of a design/IA
When drodown or flyout menus have more than 6 or 7 items, it is probably
time to rethink the navigation design.

Although, normally, I'd agree with both of you, for the question I posed
these comments don't follow through :(
Bascially, I'm a subcontractor for the designer. And I know
you all have had those clients that will *just not listen* to
you when you say something can't be done. This is the issue
we're having. The client wants the Son of Suckerfish
dropdowns (which were implemented and work great).
Well, I thank you all for your help on this :) I love it when clients ask
the impossible and get all pissy when you can't deliver. Now they don't
want the expandable one because you have to give an extra mouse click to
see all the stuff - they want it to hover LOL (No, please - make it
The UDM4 menus were actually a suggested method - but I was
putting that off because I didn't want to start from scratch
again
FYI, the better menu scripts like UDM4 and PVII's just work off of a
standard nested UL. So, in terms of your markup, there shouldn't be much
that you need to
I must admit that I didn't get all of the meaning in this thread, which
is named as drop-down problem, but the recent info was about fly-outs?
Anyway, wouldn't it be possible to overflow the submenus?
I compiled some here (for a dropdown, but basically this should work for
fly-outs, too)
