Thanks! Works perfectly, but the middle Code has a little Bug:

Code:

';
</li>

should be

Code:

</li>
';

Does anyone know how to change the HTML/CSS so it drops during hover instead of the click?

Thanks!

... if you don't want guests to see this Tab add:

Code:

if (!$show['guest']) {
...
}

Rideharder · #47 06-11-2011, 02:28 AM

works in Version 4.1.4

Two thumbs up from me.

I was definitely trying to find a drop down menu tab that was compatible with Firefox, Google Chrome and Internet Explorer.

Thanks a whole bunch.

Nice Mod! But is it possible to make Featured Articles clickable? For example, Featured Articles goes do main category and sub-links go to sub-categ0ries.

Thank you,

Thank you. This works great!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
