That totally broke it. NOW it could not find the CSS. As I told you, that's not the problem. The problem ist the CSS from the CSSMenu Horizontal crashing with the CSS from the theme. That's what's messing up the CSS for the IE. I tried it a few weeks before. I deleted the whole menu part included in the theme and I had a working horiziontal menu. but with the different style (wrong colours, wrong font, etc.) from the CSSMenu Horizontal.
The problem was that I was not able to put my finger on the part of the CSSs that collide.

For what it's worth I'm in the same exact boat.  My vertical menu works in Firefox 1.5, not in IE 6.  I dropped in the

Code: Select all

<!--[if IE]>
<__script__ type="text/javascript" src="http://www.example.com/modules/CSSMenu/CSSMenu.js"></__script>
<![endif]-->
and it didn't work.  But when I viewed the source, it showed two entries in the section.  So I deleted the one I put into my template.

Here's my section of the template:

Code: Select all

<head>
<title>{title}</title>
{stylesheet}
<link rel="icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
</head>
and here's the browser source:

Bacon and Associates







Any ideas?  I need a working menu in IE...

If by that you mean anything entered under [Site Admin] > [Global Settings] > [Global Metadata], then Yes... I just checked it, and it's clear.  Is there somewhere else I should look?

I'm not if you mentioned this and I missed it, but are you on a Mac? I've never brought this up before, although it is a MAJOR pain for me, but it seems that the developers of CMSMS stylesheets--like many developers--completely ignore Mac users. Very few of the CSS styles in the included download of CMSMS work on IE on the Mac, and since there are still a number of folks who use that (several of my clients) I have not been able to use any of the menus that come with CMSMS and have had to custom create my own with user tags. Attached is a screenshot of what the CMSMS site looks like on IE-Mac (apparantly know one else ever noticed or doesn't care).

Still love CMSMS...but I'm used to developers ignoring Mac users :-(
