[solved] No drop-down menu items in IE6

[Doug]

HELP!

Having an issue with IE6 not accessing the drop-down menu, works fine in IE7 and Firefox. Will hover over but menu does not drop down.

Problem website...

Anyone know of a fix for this?

Menu used is {menu template='cssmenu.tpl'}

CMS Made Simple version :  1.5
MenuManager version: 1.5.3

here is the stylesheet for the menu...

/* Horizontal menu for the CMS CSS Menu Module */
/* by Alexander Endresen */

#menu_vert {
   margin-left: 1px;
   margin-right: 3px;
}

/* The wrapper clears the floating elements of the menu */

/* Fix for Opera 8 */
.clearb { clear: both; }
#menuwrapper {
   /* Fix for Opera 8 */
   /*   overflow: hidden;  */
   background-color: #e4e4e4;
   border-bottom: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
   width: 100%;
}

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


/* Unless you know what you do, do not touch this */
#primary-nav, #primary-nav ul {
   list-style: none;
   margin: 0px;
   padding: 0px;
}
#primary-nav ul {
   position: absolute;
   top: auto;
   display: none;
}
#primary-nav ul ul {
   margin-top: 1px;
   margin-left: -1px;
   left: 100%;
   top: 0px;
}

#primary-nav li {
   margin-left: -1px;
   float: left;
}
#primary-nav li li {
   margin-left: 0px;
   margin-top: -1px;
   float: none;
   position: relative;
}

/* Styling the basic apperance of the menu elements */
#primary-nav a {
   display: block;
   margin: 0px;
   padding: 8px 12px;
   text-decoration: none;
   font-weight: bold;
   color: #00235d;
}


#primary-nav li a {
   border-right: 0px solid #444;
   border-left: 0px solid #444;
}
#primary-nav li li a {
   border: 1px solid #e8e8e8;
}
#primary-nav li, #primary-nav li.menuparent {
   background-color: #e4e4e4;
}

/* Styling the basic apperance of the active page elements (shows what page in the menu is being displayed) */

#primary-nav li.menuactive {
   background-color:#93b6f9;
}


/* Styling the basic apperance of the menuparents - here styled the same on hover (fixes IE bug) */
#primary-nav ul li.menuparent,
#primary-nav ul li.menuparent:hover,
#primary-nav ul li.menuparenth {
/* arrow for menuparents */
   background-image: url(images/cms/arrow.gif);
   background-position: center right;
   background-repeat: no-repeat;
   
}


/* Styling the apperance of menu items on hover */

#primary-nav li:hover{
   background-color: #b3b3b3;
   
}
,
#primary-nav li.menuh,
#primary-nav li.menuparenth,
#primary-nav li.menuactiveh {
   background-color: #444;
}


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

/*
just add
#primary-nav li:hover ul ul,
#primary-nav li.menuparenth ul ul ul,
for fourth level
*/
#primary-nav ul,
#primary-nav li:hover ul,
#primary-nav li:hover ul ul,
#primary-nav li.menuparenth ul,
#primary-nav li.menuparenth ul ul {
   display: none;
}

/* add
#primary-nav ul ul ul li:hover ul,
#primary-nav ul ul ul li.menuparenth ul,
for fourth level
*/
#primary-nav li:hover ul,
#primary-nav ul li:hover ul,
#primary-nav ul ul li:hover ul,
#primary-nav li.menuparenth ul,
#primary-nav ul li.menuparenth ul,
#primary-nav ul ul li.menuparenth ul {
   display: block;
}


/* IE Hacks */
#primary-nav li li {
   float: left;
   clear: both;
}
#primary-nav li li a {
   height: 1%;
}

Make sure that the css js-file is called in the template. IE6 requires that to work. Check one of the default templates for its call....

Thanks Ronny,

You are a champion! 

All fixed after added the following code to the Head section of the templates...




{* The above JavaScript is required for CSSMenu to work in IE *}

Thanks, I didn't realise I could still edit my first post. Most boards have a time limit and only mods can change thread titles.

Now marked solved and I will know in the future.
