nav menu drop-down blocks too high

Can you post a link to your site?

If you’re using the default Twenty Ten theme, I *think* it’s a unordered list (ul) called “Children,” but a link will help me/anyone pinpoint it if I’m not recalling the name correctly (going off of memory here).

Sorry – I should have put this in the original post.

Hmmm, doesn’t look like you’ve changed much – if any – of the original theme, so I’m not finding anything at first glance. Trying adding to style.css:

ul.children {
margin-top: 20px;
}

See if that bumps it. It’s the quickest thing I can think of, but if it doesn’t help then I would think something else is pushing it around (since this code seems otherwise unadulterated).

try making the parent li relative…

ul.current_page_item li{
position:relative;
}

ul.children li {
position:absolute;
display:block;
top:20px;
}

give the children li height and width that you want and play with th top setting.

Thanks all for your help – as with most of this stuff I am finding neother of the solutions you gave me worked – BUT – they got me to the right place with the right idea ??

#access ul ul li {
	min-width: 180px;
	bottom:-20px;

Thanks guys !
