I did get regular drop down menus to work in gantry by editing the gantry.css file. If anyone is interested in my method just replace everything under the /*Menu*/ section in the gantry.css file with the following:
#rt-menu li {
float: left;
display: block;
width: auto;
}
#rt-menu li li {
float: none;
display: block;
width: auto;
}
#rt-menu li li a{
float: none;
display: block;
width: auto;
}
#rt-menu li ul {
position: absolute;
background: #bebebe;
width: 210px;
left: -999em;
z-index: 1000;
}
#rt-menu li:hover ul, #rt-menu li.sfhover ul {
left: auto;
}
This method does have a few bugs, it has not been tested in IE and there is an issue with the "active" menu icons displaying with an all white background, but it is a good starting point for those who will probably want to customize their own menus anyway.
Again this has nothing to do with Roknavmenu at all - it is just a way to get regular suckerfish drop downs to work in gantry.
i decided to split your post from the original topic which was roknavmenu related and also renamed your topic to a more suitable title. thanks for submitting your code changes.
