function bcadd($Num1,$Num2,$Scale=null) {

So the next step for me was to get a working category menu that had a flyout of each top level categories' child(sub) categories.

I have to say...this was a pain in the proverbial for me...I spent a few hours trying to get this to work right I can assure you. Even though I got it working, I imagine my code is probably quite inefficient so I'd really appreciate any feedback from some experienced coders.

Anyway, here's the code to go in the home.tpl file, which is basically ...
