Superfish dropdown menu with 2 columns

Hi, i have built a css dropdown menu with [B]Superfish v1.4.8 – jQuery menu plugin.

At the moment it only has a single column for the sub dropdown.
(as seen at the following link) Superfish - Suckerfish on 'roids

i want to have a 2 column ‘mega dropdown’ so that there are links on the left and right of the dropdown menu.

Could someone tell me if this is possible within the superfish code andhow to do it

thanks

You can have anything you want in the dropdown. Inside a <li> you can place a div and have columns within that. You just need to set widths etc on each element appropriately.

Perhaps show us your attempt at this, or an example of what you want to see (an image if you don’t have a live example).

Hey ralph, thanks for the reply.

see html/css below which i have coded for the dropdown

i would like to have something like this Mega Dropdown Menu by Soh Tanaka with just 2 columns.

Would it be a case of wrapping a div around the <li> and then creating a second div for the second column. howq would the css look.

Im just unsure how to go about coding this.

thanks again
