suckerfish not working in IE

Post by Tracy »

I have just spent a whole weekend working out the menu manager. I want a horizontal menu and a side menu. Using the suckerfish layout / menumanager I managed to get the horizontal one basically although I am having a problem with the dropdowns not working in IE.  They work in FF, Safari and Opera. Here is link, I would appreciate if someone could help me.

Thankyou so much

You could use the default cssmenu and change the part for styling it and achieve the same results...

The suckerfish and default cssmenu BOTH rely on JS to get IE6or less to work they just use a diff. syntax, sfhover for sucker and an h for the default cssmenu...

You may be having trouble because the menu template is adding menuparent as a class and maybe menuactive menuparent as a class, this may be throwing your JS...

Hi Tracy,

Remove all suckerfish stuff and add this little snippet instead.

Code: Select all

<!--[if lt IE 8]>
<__script__ src="http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/2.0(beta3)/IE8.js" type="text/javascript"></__script>
<![endif]-->
You can read more about it here : http://dean.edwards.name/IE7/ but in short it helps with lots of IE issues and is well worth using.

Hope that helps,
Bob
