Hi All -

I'm building this site:

http://www.lauralewismantellmd.com/index3.html

The problem I'm having is with the rollover on "more" - there is a drop down, but you can't click on anything unless you fully click on the "more" link first. I would really like that drop down menu to stay active and allow people to click on something without having to click on "more". This happens in both IE and FF. TIA!

It might be because the sub menu is too far away from the 'more' button. Therefore as soon as their mouse leaves just 1px away from the link, the submenu goes.

Yeah, I was thinking that - but I can't seem to find where to reduce that gap...

The reason that dropdown is so far away is the huge top and bottom margins on the li and/or the <a>. It doesn't appear that you've got any rules for the link in the li -

.menu li a{
margin: xxpx;
padding: xxpx;
display:block; (to make the whole link area clickable)

Why do you have the drop down in a table ?

I had actually copied this from another "instructional" site -but I'm thinking of just building the suckerfish ones from scratch based on the list apart site... I've been doing a lot of troubleshooting on it so far, and frankly, I think it will go faster that way. Thanks for your help!!
