i have no idea what you are trying to say.

Is your objective to have a horizontal drop down menu ?

Sorry, but I didn't have time to style it for you. It should just be a simple matter of applying the presentational styles from the other layout without changing the structure of the new one.

If you are desparate and can't do it yourslef then post again and I'll try and find time tomorrow
