hello all!
im having trouble building the right menu i need, its a jquery lavalamp, with 3 level dropdown submenus,

ive found a lot of open source code out there but none really matched my needs, ive started modifying some of them but i always run into some problems.

im getting very close using the code found here http://premiumcoding.com/jquery-dropdown-lavalamp-menu/

ive improved it if anyone is interested in using my version.

ive fixed the anoying queuing of dropdowns,
ive added a second "lavalight" which is a png hover above the menu,
ive fixed the css to display submenus when javascript is disabled,
i added a animated color change to link texts.

BUT IM STUCK!!
i cant figure out why the damn dropdown goes down with the screen when u scroll down, im sure its in the css.

can anyone help?
here is my CSS:

/*settings for whole menu*/
.menu{
padding:0 0 10px 0;
}
.nav {
 
   height:40px;
   background-image:url(../images/backgroundMiddle.png); 
   padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;
   margin-left:35%;
   margin-top:-30px;
   float:right;
 
}
.nav #navLeft{
   width:4px;
   height:40px;
   background-image:url(../images/backgroundLeft.png);

got it

i keep posting help and answering my own questions, Tongue well i guess it good for anyone else having the same problems,
the issue here was the position:fixed;
on the nav ul.
solved it by changing it to absolute, top 0 and left 0, and the the sub ul, relative.

go check out the homepage. if you want my mods let me know.
