Thank you tperri for your reply. I attached both the sitemap and horizontal menu code.As i have mentioned above I have to put my cursor on the horizontal menu or the dropdown text for the link to work.otherwise, if i put my cursor away from the text then you won't know whether that is a link . thank you for the help.

Hi,
I just had the same problem and I had to replace this html in the MasterPage source code:

<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="SiteMapDataSource1" runat="server" StartingNodeOffset="0" ShowStartingNode="true" />
<br />
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>

I ALSO USED THIS AS MY HTML SOURCE FOR THE MENU CONTROL:

<asp:Menu ID="Menu1" runat="server" Width="100%"
DataSourceID="SiteMapDataSource1" BackColor="lightblue"
DynamicHorizontalOffset="2" Font-Names="Verdana"
Font-Size="0.8em" ForeColor="#666666" StaticSubMenuIndent="10px" Height="7px" Orientation="Horizontal" DynamicVerticalOffset="5" StaticDisplayLevels="2" >
<StaticSelectedStyle BackColor="LightBlue" />
<StaticMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" Width="100%" />
<DynamicHoverStyle BackColor="White" Font-Bold="False" ForeColor="Black" />
<DynamicMenuStyle BackColor="White" />
<DynamicSelectedStyle BackColor="White" ForeColor="Red" />
<DynamicMenuItemStyle HorizontalPadding="5px" VerticalPadding="2px" Width="100%" />
<StaticHoverStyle BackColor="LightBlue" Font-Bold="False" ForeColor="Black" />
</asp:Menu>

HTH, Randy
