Hi - I wonder if anyone can tell me easily how to make the submenu's under the horizontal menu bar also appear horizontally?
At this site: http://www.acblunit174.org, I use the Spry horizontal menu bar, and it works fine. But for those with small monitors or with low screen size, the bottom items on the submenu's appear off the bottom of the screen and are hence unavailable. I thought that changing the submenus to block instead of the default inline would do the trick (as it seems to for the top level list), but that seems to have no effect. I'm not sure what's going on.
I'm using Dreamweaver CS3.
Thanks for any help.
Here's the syle sheet, if that's of any help.
