@nokrev: thanks alot for the link… here is the thing: ive gotten my dropdowns to work for links using DIVS, some Javascript & CSS…no problem. then i went on to add a form to the DIV instead of the links I was using and something weird happens… the form displays in the dropdown, but I am unable to actually use the form because the moment I select a dropdown from the form, the DIV disappears. i dont know how to show my code since its code from multiple parts of the site (included .js & .php files) hmmmm… ---
