Menus not working in IE6

G'day

The menus weren't display right for me in IE6 - which unfortunately is my client's main browser across its dozens of computers.

When you hovered over an item in the dropdown menu, it would lose all its padding. Also hovering over 1st level menus removed left padding.

I discovered it was treating all hover levels the same. Therefore, if I tried adding padding to 2nd level to compesae, it added it to the first level too. But this only affected IE6. FF was fine.

After much hair pulling and trying different padding and re-uploading the plugin and trying your original CSS, nothing was working. I looked at some other sites using your plug in and it didn't seem to be affecting them.

In the end, I tried changing it from a class to an id.

So I searched and replaced .menu with #menu, plus fed it div id=”menu” argument, and incredibly it now works perfectly in IE6.

But now they're not working in Firefox 3!!! All menus are appearing at level one. Arrghh!!

Any help or a fix would be appreciated.

Further testing, this last bit of the problem seems to be a bug with FF3 on the Mac.

With the menu div set to an id, the menus display correctly in IE6, IE7, FF2 and FF3 on Windows, and Opera 9.5 and Safari 3 on Mac.

So this indicates you might need to change your plugin's CSS from a class to an id.

I don't know why Stu Nicholls did it that way in the first place. I always thought menus should be ids.

Something for you to look into. Smile

Oops!! Forget that about FF3 on Mac. My mistake. Embarassed

But yes, I've still got the problem that the menus don't display correctly if I use a class not an id. So I've switched to an id, and I think you might need to too.

Sorry for all the confusion.Embarassed
