Drop Down Menu Doesn't Allow Me to Click on Drop Downs

[purplemagpie]

Hi,

I've got my Custom Menu set up on the Quattro Theme and have a problem I can't find a fix for.

If you hover over the "Topic"  button it opens the dropdown. But it won't let me go to the dropdowns to click on them. Once in a while the first one "order books. etc." will, but mostly it's herky jerky or dead.

Here's the site http://www.senseofplacepress.com

I'd greatly appreciate others trying to open those drop downs. Is it a Firefox thing? I've never had this problem on any site that I can remember opening--not just the ones I've built but also the ones I've seen and read.

Thanks!

Hello,

I was able to replicate the same issue. There is an 'empty' gap between the menu link and the drop-down. Hovering over the menu link will show the drop-down, but when your mouse moves down to the drop-down menu, it hits the empty space. This results in the drop-down menu hiding again.

I was able to correct this issue editing the style.css file in Chrome like below;

/* line ~296 */
.menu-primary a,
.menu-secondary a,
#header .menu a {
	-moz-transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;
	-webkit-transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;
	background: url(images/nav-line.png) no-repeat center right;
	color: #444;
	display: block;
	padding: 0 16px 10px 15px; /* copy this line */
	position: relative;
	text-decoration: none;
	transition: all 0.2s ease-in-out;
}

/* line ~367 */
.menu-primary li ul, .menu-secondary li ul, #header .menu li ul {
        background: url(images/wrap.png);
        border: 1px solid #ccc;
        border-top: 0;
        height: auto;
        left: -9999px;
        /* margin: 10px 0 0; */ /* comment out this line */
        padding: 0 10px;
        position: absolute;
        width: 150px;
        z-index: 9999;
}

I hope this helps.

Ryan,

Thanks. That was FAST!

I will work on your suggestion tonight and get back.

But, does this mean there's something wrong with the theme? Or is it something I did? And if I did, how did I do it? And, finally, if it's something wrong with the theme, how come no one else has mentioned it?

Inquiring minds want to know.

Maggie,

Why or how the theme style works like that is... unknown.
