Attention CSS Gurus

    Date: 02/22/06 (Web Development)    Keywords: css, html

    Hi guys, I'm having some CSS issues. I have a menu built with nested lists and styled with css, which worked fine. Now when I try to use that menu within my css-based layout page, the menus popouts seem to be stuck against the next div (not letting the mouse move across to them without disappearing).

    I'm in a bit of a pickle because I'm supposed to have something to show my client by Friday, can anyone help?

    see the menu not working here . If you fumble around with it long enough you can make it sort of work, but too iffy.



    I know there is a lot of code here, but I think it may be something in the CSS/page layout part, not the actual menu, but I could be wrong.

    Here is my HTML:



    & the CSS:


    /*page layout*/


    body {

    margin-left: 0px;

    margin-top: 0px;

    margin-right: 0px;

    margin-bottom: 0px;

    background-color: #8B8B8B;

    }

    #header {

    position: absolute;

    height: 125px;

    width: 100%;

    left: 0px;

    top: 0px;

    margin: 0px;

    padding: 0px;

    background-color: #8B8B8B;

    }

    #headnav {

    background-color: #3E497E;

    height: 70px;

    width: 773px;

    margin-right: auto;

    margin-left: auto;

    margin-top: 0px;

    padding: 0px;

    }

    #content {

    position: absolute;

    width: 100%;

    top: 125px;

    left: 0px;

    }

    #contentcell {

    margin-right: auto;

    margin-left: auto;

    height: auto;
