Hi all, I haven't received a response, so I've put up a test page to make it a bit more clear. http://paulcollinslondon.com/test/test.html
Basically, the second level navigation is showing when the page loads, because the parent list item for "ABOUT US" has a class of "selected". When you mouseover the second level nav though, it disappears and I'm not sure why. If it has a class of selected, I only want it to disappear when you roll over another top level link. Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong here? Thanks for any help Paul 2009/7/27 Paul Collins <pauldcoll...@gmail.com> > Hi all, > > I'm completely stuck and been trying to solve this all day!
