Using drop down menu

When I use the drop down menu the sub menues are always visible. any way to turn that off?

Try this, open:

sparky_framework\html\mod_menu\default.php

comment out line ~24:

$params->set('showAllChildren',1);

to

// $params->set('showAllChildren',1);

No change

Try:

$params->set('showAllChildren',0);

That worked, thatnk you. But now the children don't show at all.
I want the main menu item as a text separator and the children to show on mouse over(or click).

That makes menu show sub menu items only if one of sub-menu items is current. Bat form your latest question it looks like we missed the point. Are you saying originally you were seeing all drop-down sub-menus displayed. If yes that is scrip issue, return code as it was originally and post your page link
