Chrome drop down Menu Link Question

[diesel13]

I just installed the chrome drop down menu and I've noticed that the root menu links (parent items) do not work if there are children or drop down links below them or associated with them. If I put some drop down links below the "Features" menu item, they will show up and work if "Features" is hovered over, but the "Features" itself no longer functions as a working link.... anybody know how to make it so that the root Menu items will still work as links when they have sub menu or dropdown items associated with them?

Feedback greatly appreciated!!!

The html:

<div class="chromestyle" id="chromemenu">
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.ipagio.com/">Home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ipagio.com/mortgage-website-features.html" rel="dropmenu1">Features</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.ipagio.com/mortgage-website-demo.html" >Demos</a></li>

turns out it was a javascript setting in js file that can disabel or enable parent links....

So, how did you fix this issue?

I would like my parent link to function on my site as well.

Please advise!

Thank you!:)

[jonachan]

lol! I figured it out the same way....

in the .js file just change

disablemenuclick: true to
disablemenuclick: false

[diesel13]

yep, that's it!
