trying to integrate a 3rd party css candy into your site may result in conflicts between the candy's css and your site's css, resulting in a rendering mess. stuff that works beautifully by itself blows up when you put it into your website. this trick may not find you a new girlfriend, or butter your bread on both sides, !BUT¡ it may instantly eliminate your css conflicts. it instantly eliminated ALL of the rendering conflicts i was having with superfish (and other css menus), when trying to integrate them into my site.
SOLUTION: open all your css files, and globally replace: ";" with " !important;" THAT'S IT! (don't forget the space before !important;) for example, this: top: -999em; will become: top: -999em !important; HOW IT WORKS: the "!important" property forces that style to override all other css, whether style-sheets, inline-css, header-styles, and whether above or below in the css hierarchy. badabing! http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/ http://inyourear.org
