I've installed and configured Nice Menus in by site. I've added the second level menus and added the menu to a block in a custom region that I created. The first level menu is appearing fine, with the standard arrows next to the menu items that have children items. However, when I hover over the parent menu, nothing happens. The flyout with the children menu items never appear. Even if I click on the menu item, they don't appear. The Nice Menu is using Primary Links as its source, and all menu items are enabled. Has anyone run into this issue before? Any suggestions? Thanks guys.

Guys,
Please take a look at the following page to see the issue I'm experiencing with the nice menu at the top. The dropdown menus are not showing in either IE or FireFox for me. I think this may be a CSS issue, but I can't figure it out. Please help!

Have you tried the project issues queue? http://drupal.org/project/issues/nice_menus

I'm having a similar problem but in my case I can see a bit of the secondary menu level when I mouse-over - it appears to be a layering where the menu's behind the content below it. I've tried changing the z-index for the relevant block but haven't managed to sort it out yet - do post if you find an answer.

Hi adam,
Yes, I did post an item in the issues queue. I've yet to get a response there.

Try it with a number of different themes.

admin/build/themes

If Nice menus are showing then it might just be a conflict with the css of your chosen theme

The menus are definitely displaying because the arrow images that nice menus place next to parent menu items are showing up fine. It's the children menu items that aren't showing up.

What kinds of CSS problems could prevent the children items from showing up? Please see www.mwebdev.com/ns.html

Thanks.

Ok... I've made a little progress, but I still need some help.

I added position:absolute to the menus style. The mouse-over menu now works in that the children items appear when you mouse-over the parent item. However, if you mouse-over the parent item, then move your mouse down to select one of the children items, they disappear. What changes do I need to make so that the children items can be selected?

Please see www.mwebdev.com/ns.html to see what I'm referringn to. Thanks.

Totally off the top of my head, but is there some variable for persistence? eg if it's set for 0.5 seconds, that gives you enough time to get off the parent item without the menu disappearing.

Hi adam,
No, there is not setting for that. Thanks for the suggestion.

I'm gettting the same problem as well.
Have overridden the primary settings in the page.tpl.php doc so the nice menu swaps the normal primary heading off which works but then I'm left with the problem above. Parent also appears grey when not active.

Can someone PLEASE take a look at this issue and offer some suggestions? I've been trying to figure this one out for weeks! Is it a CSS issue or a Nice Menu issue? Any suggestions for fixes? Thanks guys.

You might have better luck just incorporating something like superfish directly into your theme yourself.

I've been able to successfully use Nice Menu on a couple of other sites/themes. I don't want to switch unless absolutely necessary... know what I mean? I really think it's a css issue (due to the fact that I've used it successfully on other sites/themes), but I just can't figure it out!

I've corrected the problem. I started over with the fresh nicemenustyle.css file, then made changes, testing after each one.

I followed the suggestion of 'edg' in the above comments and found that another theme (minnelli) showed the flyout/dropdown just fine, so I went through the CSS in my theme.

I came across the following in my layout.css file:

 #navbar
  {
    overflow: hidden; /* May need to be removed if using a dynamic drop-down menu */
  }

I commented out that line, and suddenly my nice-menu dropdowns are displaying fine.

Hope this helps other people who are experiencing this issue!
