Hi Ciaran. I've had several friends and clients tell me that they can't access the drop down menus on any of my sites, on anything other than their computers. When they try from their phones or notebooks, the drop downs don't display for them at all.

I've checked this out, and found the pattern. All Apple devices work fine (iPad, iPhone, iPod) but their counterparts running Android do not.

I have built all of my sites in "non-responsive" format because there are lots of items on the menus that display best with the drop down menus. Is there any fix for this display issue with Android? Again, this issue affects all of the sites I've built with J51 templates (my 4, plus one for my husband.) So I'm truly hoping there's a fix. :)

Hi Carrie

An issue arises when the parent item (eg. Anit-Bullying - http://impactmusic4kids.org) is a link. As there is no hover state on a touch device, dropdowns rely on touch to activate. If the parent item is a link then the link is followed rather opening the dropdown on some devices. Sorry to say the only way around that is to change the parent item 'Menu Item Type' to a 'Text Seperator' and therefore removing the link!
