Problems when upgrading CSSMenu to 0.11

[pinthenet]

I've managed to fix my CSSMenu after a couple of hours trial-and-error. I think the 'old' standard CSS for vertical menus had more options included than the new one?

Only problem left is that IE doesn't show the background arrow.gif in menuparents, but firefox does...

Hi John,

You need to do the following changes for your menu to work correctly:

• Remove background-color: #30529C; from #primary-nav a. This would otherwise cause the arrows not to display apart from when hovering.
• Remove #primary-nav li.menuparent a:hover from the section "Styling the basic apperance of the menuparents - here styled the same on hover (fixes IE bug)" as that is causing the arrow to display also for menu items that has no children/are no parents.

The problem then is that the background-color and text color of the parents when hovering sub-levels will both be white in this case. I'm not sure how to get around that right now, but setting a different color for the background or the links would make it ok. That's how the current default CSS for the CSSMenu works, but I'll ask WiseQ who made that CSS about solving also this issue.

I'm glad you like the design of the CMSMS site. This CSSMenu issue gives you an opportunity to use other colors than blue background and white text to differentiate it a bit more and to make your site look more unique.

Thanks for the tips Westis - I'll try tonight.

It was a useful CSS education trying to work out how everything fitted together

Re the colours - the client is particularly keen on blue so it will have to stay for now. I'll keep trying things out though...
