#menuwrapper {

  /*  overflow: hidden;  */
  background: transparent;
  border-bottom: 0px solid #fff;
  width: 100%;
}

/* Set the width of the menu elements at second level. Leaving first level flexible. */
#primary-nav li li {

  background-color: #ddddca;
  color: #372612;
}


/* The magic - set to work for up to a 3 level menu, but can be increased unlimited */

/*

*/
#primary-nav ul,
#primary-nav li:hover ul,
#primary-nav li:hover ul ul,

Try adding ...

Code: Select all

#primary-nav a:hover, #primary-nav ul li  {background-color: #ddddca; 
   color: #372612;}

to your stylesheet.

solved problem partially...
second level is showing, but without text-color. third levels, or secodn levels with child still have same problem. all in IE6  ofcourse

You need to work with those "h" ending classes as that's what IE looks when Javascript is enabled. As you put background for "a" tag, then try something like:

Code: Select all

#primary-nav li:hover, 
#primary-nav li:hover a,
#primary-nav li.menuh [color=red]a[/color], 
#primary-nav li.menuparenth [color=red]a[/color], 
#primary-nav li.menuactiveh [color=red]a[/color] { 
  background-color: #ddddca; 
   color: #372612;
}

Maybe then you find what's cool for it.

tried that,

still not showing linkcolor in level 2, and no background and linkcolor in level3 (IE 6 ofcourse)

current css:

#menuwrapper {
  /* Fix for Opera 8 */
  /*  overflow: hidden;  */
  background: transparent;
  border-bottom: 0px solid #fff;
  width: 100%;
}

/* Set the width of the menu elements at second level. Leaving first level flexible. */
#primary-nav li li {
  width: 200px;
background-color: #ddddca;

I just noticed that color codes won't inside code tag in this forum.

So it needs o be ...

#primary-nav li:hover,
#primary-nav li:hover a,
#primary-nav li.menuh a,
#primary-nav li.menuparenth a,
#primary-nav li.menuactiveh a {
  background: #ddddca;
    color: #372612;
}

that's the only thing that changes with IE6. Checked it with local copy of the page and this is where you should start. Problem is that IE6 does not understant li:hover and uses those li.menuh etc. instead.
