I have modified the std DNN skin however by default, if using the horozonal top menu the submenu appears immedatly after, for example if you have set image, i need it to display after the image, rather then overlapping.

Alsmost like I need to set the child menu in a new TR.

But that just dosent seem to work for me, and clues on how to do this?

thanks for that, but i have set paddings with no luck

here is some of the submenu CSS
 

.main_dnnmenu_item td { /*TD if menu option for using tables is on*/
 cursor: pointer;
 cursor: hand;
 color: #ffffff;
 font-size: 12pt;
 font-weight: normal;
 font-style: normal;
 background-color: Transparent;
 font-family:  Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica;
        white-space: nowrap;  /*Word wrapping menu item now optional*/ 
        padding: 10px 10px 10px 0px; 
}

.main_dnnmenu_submenu {
 background-color: #717a82; 
 /*background-image: url(menu-repeat_drop.png);*/
 z-index: 1000;
 cursor: pointer;
 cursor: hand;
 /*filter:progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(color='#cccccc', Direction=135, Strength=3); */
 padding: 10px 10px 10px 10px;   /*explicitly set padding for sub-menus */

}
.main_dnnmenu_break {
 height: 1px;
 font-size: 1px;
 }
