HELP! CSS Menu Not Working on Win IE

Hi, running into some problems with my CSS Menu. Works great on my mac, but gets funky in Win IE 6.0.2. The drop down menu appears and then disappears. Unable to click on it to link to the page.

Please take a look:

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

What version of FW are you using.

I believe 5.12 (the latest) has a fix for this.

This is belt and braces as this should be incorporated in 5.1.2 but why not give it a go.

This is actually caused by the bug that has been mentioned before.

Go to Page>Insert HTML and in the “Before </HEAD>” section (the / is important) paste the following:

<style type="text/css"> li { float: left; width: 100%; } </style>

Do I do this for each page?

Try it on one and see if it works first.

If all the pages are based on the same Master then you can do it to the Master.

Okay, I tried it on all my Master Pages and it still doesn’t work.. any other suggestions?

Is there something wrong with the way I created the CSS Menu?

Hi Janel,

Your menus need a background color to work properly in IE and Opera, this is unavoidable (afaik) and down to the difference in the way the browsers work compared with Firefox and Safari.

I hope this helps.

I’m sorry Joe - I had assumed that the latest Fix for 5.1.2 had addressed that issue as well.

Hmm, I must be doing something wrong. I selected the css menu and as an “HTML item” made the background color black… still not working.

Try setting the background color in the CSS Menu Action window.

Hi David,

The fix was for submenus not sticking in IE7 using vertical menus. There’s no way to get round needing a background color on the menu items in IE and Opera (afaik – if someone knows different then please speak up :-)), it’s just the way they handle the CSS for the menus.

Thanks for all your help… however I’ve given up and redesigned my menu. As long as I get it to work. I’ll have to deal with the aesthetics later.
