Hi;
Regarding the "v', it's actually normal, and is a feature that appears in Firefox/Opera 8 to indicate that this menu item contains sub menus. You can remove this by removing this part of the .css file:

.chromestyle ul li a[rel]:after{ /*HTML to indicate drop down link*/
content: " v";
/*content: " " url(downimage.gif); /*uncomment this line to use an image instead*/
}

Regarding the 10px offset, unfortunately this is just due to the way the CSS renders the menu, and occurs on the DD demo page as well. Specifically, the submenus are horizontally aligned to the activating link itself, not the menu item containing the link. Since the link is slightly smaller than the menu item container, the submenu that aligns to the former appears slightly offset to the right.

Hey!
thanks for "clearing" the "v"... i will try that.

if i understand u correctly: there is no way to fix the 10px offset in that menue - or is there?

thanks again!

Well, you could always edit the script to manually have it offset to the left a few pixels, by editing the line:

this.dropmenuobj.style.left=this.dropmenuobj.x-this.clearbrowseredge(obj, "rightedge")-10+"px"

Change "10" to your desired number.
