cssmenu - no drop down in IE6

[marit]

I'm using cssmenu 1.2.2 + a copy of CSSmenuHorizontal.css on my local cmsms (0.11.2) install. In FF 1.5 it works perfectly but in IE6 the hover works but the drop down doesn't and instead the status bar flickers.
Since I didn't find a solution in the forums or SVN, could somebody help me please?
Thanks very much in advance.

you're one step further than me.. i'm getting absolutely zero hover or dropdown with ie6 (xpsp2) while firefox works fine.

The problem was caused by me... forgot to put in the proper DOCTYPE (transitional)

Going off the suggestion made here I added :

to my template.  It gets the menu to work but messes up the rest of the page.  Back to work

You do need it for horizontal menu aswell. Just found out...

Hi,

Post is old, but problem is new to me. 

I am using the horzontal menu and having the same problem.  Works in FF and NN but IE does not show the drop down sub links and hover has no effect.  I tinkered around and got hover to work in IE6 adding the following:

=======
/* MY IE 6 HACK HOVER COLOR */
#primary-nav A:hover {
background-color: #003399;
color: #f7f7f7;
}
=======

However, dropdown choices are still not showing on IE6. 

Going off the suggestion made here I added :

to my template.  It gets the menu to work but messes up the rest of the page.  Back to work

I changed my doctype from to html4/loose.dtd and still no luck with drop down choices on IE6 and page was slightly broken =(.

do you have that code in your template? (not sure it is actually necessary for horizontal, but for sure it is for vertical CSS Menu)

for marit and maybe websuperman: version 0.11.x with CSSMenu Module

Code: Select all

<!--[if IE]>
<__script__ type="text/javascript" src="modules/CSSMenu/CSSMenu.js"></__script>
<![endif]-->

for Kermit: 0.12beta  with MenuManager module:

Code: Select all

<!--[if IE]>
<__script__ type="text/javascript" src="modules/menumanager/CSSMenu.js"></__script>
<![endif]-->

I added both each to my template and still no luck.  I placed it between the head under the head over the head in the body.  no go =(.

Any other suggestions??  Thanks !

Sincerely,
David

lol lol ......

geez .... I got it to work now.  I am on 0.12.1 "Savusavu" and the folder is MenuManager ... the m's are caps and not lowercase like when I copied and pasted it from here.





Instead for me it should be





geeeeeeeez .... i spent 5hrs on this when it was just so simple.  Don't know if I should cry or laugh....  anyway atleast it was a simple solution.
