can anyone help with the problem i have.
Does your theme support custom menus? Go to Appearance->Menus in the WordPress admin and see what is says.
If it does then simply create a new menu and the structure you want.
this is what i get which to be honest is not good.
The current theme does not natively support menus, but you can use the “Custom Menu” widget to add any menus you create here to the theme’s sidebar.
If your theme doesn’t support the new WordPress 3.x custom menus then your theme likely uses something like wp_page_menu() function to render your menu.
Check your header.php for the function and parameters used to show your menu.
Anyway, an option to show your menu as a drop down may be as simple as defining child pages, with the top level parent as the top level menu item. But it is hard to tell without seeing your header.php code.
If you want to paste it here and it is longer than 10 lines of code then please use pastebin.com.
the menu for some reason isn’t in the header file its in a file called banner and here is the code.
<div id=”menu”>

<li<?php if(!is_page() ) {?> class=”current_page_item”<?php }?> id=”home_li”>“><img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/home-icon.png” />/li>
<?php echo remove_title_attribute(wp_list_pages(‘depth=1&echo=0&title_li=’)); ?></div>
<div class=”logo-top”></div>
<div id=”logo”>
<div class=”heading”>
<p id=”maintitle”>“><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></p>
<p id=”description”><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></p>
</div>
<div class=”info”>
<img src=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/heading-img.jpg” />
</div>
<div class=”clear”></div>
</div>
<div class=”headingdivider”></div>Remove the
depth=1&as this will force the menu to only ever be l level deep (i.e. no drop down).brilliant that works but one slight problem check out http://gvcg.co.uk you’ll notice that is always there if you grasp my meaning.

Yes, you will now probably need the CSS to style the drop down so not everything is always showing (i.e. you only need to show top level menus by default, then everything else on hover).
See how the default twenty ten theme handles this for non-custom menus, otherwise you will need to use a theme that uses the custom drop down menu system.
right ok will have a look probley going to get a headake from it bring on the coffee i say
im at a loss with this one i relly dont know what im looking for in the code, if someone could help be great
