Hi all ! 
 
I have a website at www.bestbet.bugs3.com/club/demo.php wherein I have a menu on a menubar which seems to be malfunctioning. I am unable to rectify this. If anyone has ever come across a similar behavior pleas help me out.
 
The login and ID is itsme and f19768 respectively.
 
The menu is a simple menu with two buttons Home and Member. The Member upon mouse hover drops down two submenus Member & Record. The menu functions fine if I click on Home or Member submenu. After  clicking any of these two buttons if I hover on Member, the menu drops down again but if I click on Record submenu and then mouse hover on Member, the menu does not hover and seems to be locked for some unknown reason. I then have to click on Home to unlock the menu. 
 
I am baffled by this locking action. Please help.
 
Thanks !
 
The css file
/* CSS for menu buttons & the navbar */

In case these are not sufficient, I can zip the entire website ( its not very big) and send / post it as an attachment on this forum or to an email ID for anyone wanting to help. 

 

Thanks again to all.

Hi friends,

 

I came back this morning and saw no response to my query and thought either I must be doing something brilliant ( big doubt!) or something downright foolish ( more likely). So instead of being disheartened, I took that as an opportunity to delve deeper and explore my code again. I then broke my code apart piecemeal till I came to a point where I realized that in all probability the sub-menu was not really locked but was going under one of the divs!! and when I shifted .lblock div (LEFT BLOCK) down by 50 points, well there was the menu buried under it.

 

So the locking was just an illusion and the sub-menus were appearing though underneath the left div. Well that solves most of it except that now maybe someone can say how I can get the menu to be on top and now below the divs when the mouse hover action is triggered. Please check the pic attached. It shows the dropdown menu going below the left div. Btw the portion with the grey background is the left div, the portion with the brown background is the right div and the total area covered by both is the mainbody div. The mainbody div holds the left and the right div.

 

The div structure portion of the code is as follows:

/////////////////////////// MAIN BODY DIV HOLDS THE LEFT AND RIGHT DIVS
<div class = 'mainbody'>

<div class = 'lblock'>

<!-- ////////////// LEFT DIV STARTS HERE /////////////////// -->

<?php
$query = "Select * FROM $table ";
$result = mysqli_query($fcon,$query);
if(!$result)die('Error in accessing the Database ' . mysqli_error($fcon));
else
 {
     $count = 0;
     $tf ="demo.php?page=contacts";

     echo "<table class=TFtable width=100% >";
     echo "<tr> <td COLSPAN=4 bgcolor='#aafff1' >CLUB MEMBERS REGISTER </td></tr>";

       while($rows=mysqli_fetch_array($result))
       {
        $count = $count+1;
        $field[$count][0] = $rows['ID'];
        $field[$count][1] = $rows['fname'];
        $field[$count][2] = $rows['lname'];
        $field[$count][3] = $rows['city'];

        echo "<tr>";
        echo "<td> " .$count. "</td>";
        echo "<form action = demo.php?page=contacts method = post > ";
        echo "<td> &nbsp ".$rows['fname'].' '.$rows['lname']. "</td>";
        echo "<td> <Input type = hidden name = id value=" .$field[$count][0]. " /> </td>";
        echo "<td> <Input type=submit name=submit value=Submit /> </td>";
        echo "</tr>";
        echo "</form>";
