Re: MiniDoc: Creating a CSS Drop-down Menu

hmmmm

One thing is make sure you are using FF, as it correctly renders without the js, so that will remove that problem.

If it still does it in FF, the problem is the CSS is not correctly hiding the submenus

Re: Advice on how to set up a site for an entire School District

I would actually recommend having a separate instance of Joomla for each school. I have looked long and hard at school sites using Joomla. If you try to squish them into one site you are limited because of the 3 level content structure.
