Hey all,

I am into a beta version of my site and redid a drop down menu off this tutorial...

Its just a small problem, but as i have added images as the links in the drop down and one is larger than the parent link, it has bumped accross the layout a bit in my table. I dont know if I'm describing it properly so u can see it here at http://www.mrblonde.com.au/test by hovering over the clothing menu youll see what I mean, as there is a noticible ugly gap between that and accessories.

Is there a way I can fix this? When I had the drop down links as text they worked and everything was aligned, but Id prefer to have them as images to keep the font like everything else just to have things uniformed.

Thanks for your help.

You could have just PM'd me...

One quick fix would be to make the dropdown (and hover) images the same width, and give them the same background color as your last one.

Another would be to give the anchors inside the nested list items a black background color.

Keep in mind I only took a brief look at it (and for the record, I'm re-writing that tutorial anyway).
