Hi all,

I am running the nice menus module on a drupal 6 site, I use it in place of the primary links with drop down functionality. I installed Special Menu Items because nothing I tried would make a link blank.

The Special Menu Items module has worked to a degree, where whenever I want to have a blank menu item I can just put nolink and it will become non - linking. However it requires some restyling with class nolink. So I created the nolink class in my themes style.css and was able to change the color of font etcera.

However and this is the important part, for some reason a piece of code is making the link a certain height and is not in keeping with the rest of the menu structure, it is too small and there is a little gap. Nothing I've tried (used padding + margins with the nolink class) has worked.

To show you what its like I've adjusted the padding of the menu to 5em bottom, now there is a large amount of padding for all the links but the Products link STILL is fixed at that height. I've scoured but I cannot find what code is doing this so that I can reset it to make it inline with the other links

Any help is much much appreciated!

How did you fix this? I am having the exactly same problem. I can change the color, font size, everything except the padding / margins. I am using the same modules as you.

Go to admin/settings/special_menu_items
and change both tags from <span> to <a>
there should not be any need for restyling

This was very useful information for setting up special_menu_items module.
Can this be added to the readme file?

For my Zen theme I still need to add a.active, a.separator, to the links in my theme.css to set the desired font color.

Thanks, this is very useful module.
