  Hi All,

  I would like to have ‘categories’ appear as a drop-down in the page menu (across the top) in Inuit Types. Is it possible? The site is: http://solidgoldcreativity.com

  Thanks in advance,
  SGC

  If you check the “show as dropdown” box in the Categories widget you can then add this code to move it next to your page navigation:

  div.widget_categories {margin:0; position:absolute; top:28px; left:27em; background:transparent;}
div.widget_categories h3 {display:none;}

  Why “left: 27em”? why not use pixel units? 230px would be more appropriate. Is my opinion that “em” units should be used for text only. And if you want to have flexible margins, use “%” units.

  Aye you’re right, I obviously wasn’t thinking clearly. Pixels would probably be OK seeing as the navigation menu ends up displaying oddly if you zoom in the page too far anyway – the top and bottom borders are actually a background image so they don’t scale with the page.
