Can I reposition the pull down menu to always start from left hand side regardless of what Menu Item you are selecting  en

I like the idea of having my pull down menus be able to be put into columns.  Is there a way to have the pull down menu  to start from underneath the first menu item regardless of which menu item you are pulling down.

I have 5 Menu Items going across the top of my page.  Each activates a set of Drop Down Menu Items.  Currently the Drop Down menus always start underneath the  Main Menu Button that was selected. E>G>  The Drop down menu for the third Main Menu Button drops down directly below the third Main Menu Button.

I would like it to drop down from under the first Main Menu Button.

Reason.  My drop down are set up to drop in columns of no more than 4 items,  At most I would only have 5 columns worth of drop downs.   This would make sure they always fit on the page.   Having a 5 column drop down , dropping from the 5th Menu Button, would cause the columns to go off of the page and force scrolling to the right to see them all.

It just does not look right if you have a sincle column pull down with 20+ items that go completely down the page.  Having everything in shorter multiple columns looks cleaner, and would be most clean if the pull downs originated under the first menu Item.   Would be a nice enhancement.

that is called mega drop down, websitex5 can not create that, you need to use third party script or custom code to do that. search on the interent to see if you can find one.

I am able to do that but it is not free. feel free to contact me infoATusx5DOTcom if you couldn find any solution for it.

if you want to continue with the standard drop down menu inside x5, make the alignment to the left, also you have lots of empty space inside your tabs, so reduce the width of the drop down tabs from 160 to 100, or any number that can fit you longest tab.
