I have just used a spry menu for a site that I have created and it
looks great on my Mac in Safari and Firefox, but when I go on my PC
the drop down menu (submenu) shifts to the top of the website instead
of acting as a drop down. I updated the spry menu to 1.6, but it still
doesn't work. The drop down is for the navbar and it is only for one of the areas of the site. If this helps I am using images in the navbar (mainly because I want to have a specific font to be used).

I have looked everywhere and have tried to get help through other forum and I have nothing right now. At this point, if I could figure out another way to get the drop down menu without using spry I would be happy too. The only thing is that I don't really want to use flash.

Thanks

I thought that this was a CSS issue with the viewing of the spry menu. Guess not. I will re-post in the Programming section.

This is a CSS issue. It's just that you posted in the Caffeine lounge.

It actually was posted in three places. The HTML & CSS as well as the Java.
