Nobody answered – so I’ll follow up with the answer myself.
I found:
“overflow: hidden;”
specified in the element containing the menu which was keeping the flyout from extending outside of the element. I changed it to:
“overflow: visible;”
and that fixed it.
BTW, to figure out where I needed to go in the CSS to fix the problem I installed the Firefox plugin “FireBug.” Just mouseover the affected menu and the CSS that formats that part of the page displays in the Firebug window.
Hi!
This may sound silly but … could you run through how you did this? You installed the Simple Sidebar Navigation widget into the left sidebar. Where did you put the menu CSS you generated – in style.css? I tried that and got nothing 🙁

Hi Missmacphisto.
I was coming on here to ask the same question then i kind of answered it for myself.
You put your css inside your plugin folder in the simple side bar navigation missmacphisto as you can see when he gave the link to the style sheet it inside there. Call it whatever you want. Then you go into the back end of wordpresss and make sure the simple sidebar is plugin is activated. Then go to settings, its also in the back end down the bottom on the left. Go to simple SideNav and you specify the style sheet there.
I have been trying to create a simple vertical flyout menu for about a week now and all i have is achieved for my trouble is a headache but i think thats how its done so now im hoping to put what i just figured out into action.
Let me know how you get on 🙂

ok my English was sh*te in that last post.
Here goes again.
You put your css inside your plugin folder in the simple side bar navigation, as you can see when he gave the link to the style sheet it inside there. Call it whatever you want.
Then you go into the back end of wordpresss and make sure the simple sidebar plugin is activated.
Then go to settings, still inside the back admin area and Go to simple SideNav and then you can specify the style sheet there.
Dont ask me what you do next though as i havent got that far.
If you get one working let me know. As i said i have been trying to figure this out for days.
