Hi
I really like the drop down that I found on http://www.scriptiny.com/2008/04/sli...dropdown-menu/

I have 4 Menus and when I add this this flows over the logo. The size of each menu is in fact too big. When I tried to alter this the size of sub-menus stay the same and it was looking ugly. I can't attach screenshot as SO doesnt allow me to. I basically want the size of the menu box to be smaller; CSS code is :

body {margin-left:140px; font:12px Verdana, Arial, Helvetica}
* {padding:0; margin:0}
.dropdown {float:right; padding-right:5px}
.dropdown dt {width:188px; border:2px solid #9ac1c9; padding:8px; font-weight:bold; cursor:pointer; background:url(images/header.gif)}
.dropdown dt:hover {background:url(images/header_over.gif)}
.dropdown dd {position:absolute; overflow:hidden; width:208px; display:none; background:#fff; z-index:200; opacity:0}
.dropdown ul {width:204px; border:2px solid #9ac1c9; list-style:none; border-top:none}
.dropdown li {display:inline}
.dropdown a, .dropdown a:active, .dropdown a:visited {display:block; padding:5px; color:#333; text-decoration:none; background:#eaf0f2; width:194px}
.dropdown a:hover {background:#d9e1e4; color:#000}
.dropdown .underline {border-bottom:1px solid #b9d6dc}!

The html code

<dl class="dropdown">
  <dt id="four-ddheader" onmouseover="ddMenu('four',1)" onmouseout="ddMenu('four',-1)">Contact Us</dt>
  <dd id="four-ddcontent" onmouseover="cancelHide('four')" onmouseout="ddMenu('four',-1)">

<div style="clear:both" />

Four widths are specified in the CSS.

Try subtracting 20px from each of these widths.

If 20px is not enough, try subtracting another 10px and so on ...

Before you start, make a note of the original values in case it all goes wrong.
