can you attach your skin file or give us a link?

I have attached the skin to here. The site is: brownandrutherford.com.previewyoursites.com and I have applied the skin to the Test page.

Just wondering if anyone has figured out how to solve my problem.

Thanks

ok, I'm back from openforce, I can't see any sub menus on the test page, can you add some sub menus so I can see this in action, thanks,

Ok, i have now added some sub pages to the site. Can you please go look at it now.

Thanks.

The first problem is related to the relative property, the method you have used causes each sub menu to also use the relative position which is why each sub menu is positioned further away.

Next problem was the large width for the menu, I set the background to #fff so that I could see the size of the main menu + could then find a suitable width of 150px.

Next problem is the sub menus display underneath the flash - this is a common problem and I do not know of a solution, but if you look, I moved the flash further to the right so that you can see the sub menus.

These changes will not be suitable for your skin, but at least from here you will be able to see the menu working and then see what changes you need to make from there.

.menu_style
{
    float:left;
    width:150px;
    height:370px;
    z-index:3;
    background-color:#fff;
}
.flash_style
{
    float:right;
    width:785px;
    height:300px;
    background:#603311;
    position:relative;
    z-index:2;
    left:-10px;
}
