Problem in Safari with Drop-Down Menus in Admin

[cnymike]

I've just installed CMS Made Simple 0.12.1 "Savusavu" and have noticed that in the default installation, the horizontal CSS drop down menus in the Admiin do not work properly when using Safari 2.0.3.

What happens is that if the drop down menu has 4 or more menu items, such as the "Content menu, when moving down the menu drop-down  list, the menu disappears as you move from the third to the fourth menu item.

Thus, when I go to the Admin area and move my mouse to the "Content" menu,  the menu drops down and displays ...

Pages
File Manager
Image Manager
Global Content Blocks
News

As I move my mouse down the list, the drop down disappears as soon as I move from the "Image Manager" item to "Global Content Blocks" item.

This behavior does not occur in Firefox, just Safari. Any ideas why and how to fix?

A  little more investigating shows that in some pages, the drop-downs work fine in Safari, but on most pages in admin they don't.

Try this if you have Safari.

1. Go into Admin
2. Click on Content menu and choose "Pages".
3. Click again on Content menu and try to select the item "News". For me, I can't because as soon as the mouse pointer gets below the third item in the menu, the menu goes away.
4. Click again on Content meny and select the  menu item "File Manager"
5. Click again on Content menu and select "News". This time I am able to select News and the menu does not disappear.
6 Click again on Content menu and select "Global Content Blocks". For me, I can't because the menu disappears as soon as I mouse below the third item in the list.

Weird huh?

Worked blindfolded, but I think its fixed now in svn. please test and comment

tsw, I'm not sure how the svn thing works.

Was it the CSS file you changed? If I simply replace the old CSS file with the new, should that be all I need to change?

Yep, its just a css change

in style.php change:

Code: Select all

#nav li ul  {
   background-color: #f8f8f8;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0px;
   position: absolute;
   width: auto;
   height: auto;
   display: none;
   }

to

Code: Select all

#nav li ul  {
   background-color: #f8f8f8;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0px;
   position: absolute;
   width: auto;
   height: auto;
   display: none;
position:absolute;
z-index:999;
   }

(I hope that was the only change, but not 110% sure

svn also has some html fixes in admin pages to have valid code which could also be the problem...

Hope this helps.

The css change has fixed the problem for me.  That is all I changed was the css. Thanks.
