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!

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

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>

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

30 Jun 2008, 9:11 pmOkay, 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?

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.

30 Jun 2008, 10:05 pmI’m sorry Joe - I had assumed that the latest Fix for 5.1.2 had addressed that issue as well.

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

1 Jul 2008, 8:56 amHi 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.

2 Jul 2008, 6:01 pmThanks 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.
