I'm working on two knotty problems with a drop down menu system using P7's 
tab menu magic.
http://www.language-works.com/ANSIRH/template_about2.htm

The first is that when you hover over one of the top nav items (e.g. About, 
research & other work, etc.) you get a drop down menu -- I'd like to have a 
top border on that but only up to the vertical grey border - so that it 
looks like an "L" and not a box sitting under a nav item.  I was thinking to 
do a negative margin and set a z-index to hide the bottom layer, but my 
experiments have yielded no success.

The second issue is that I want to have a 31px color border at the top of 
each primary item (About, Research, etc) when you hover over that - but 
whereas I have split out each of the items for the --  li a-- definitions, I 
cannot seem to figure out where to do the hover to make that 
element-specific. It looks like it's on line 73
/*
The Root Level Hover. This also locks the Hover state while
the root item's associated sub-menu is visible.
DO NOT CHANGE SELECTOR NAMES*/
.p7ie6Fix:active,
#p7TBMroot .p7TBMtext .p7TBMon,
#p7TBMroot .p7TBMtext li a:focus,
#p7TBMroot .p7TBMtext li a:active {

}
I started working on this in Pop menu magic as an alternative, 
http://www.language-works.com/ANSIRH/template_about3.htm  but I don't like 
it as well for other reasons.  Also, it cuts off the last item (news).

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Anne
