[solved] Menu dropdown flicker, anyone else?

[savagekabbage]

Hey guys, in IE6 I'm getting menu flicker on a client's site:

http://www.boxcart.com

It seems to be working fine for IE7 and Firefox. It's happening on more than one site also, any ideas?

Hmm, not seeing an edit button.  Anyway the flicker happens as you mouseover the menu in IE6.

It is a problem with the distance between the buttons.

I think that if you lower the distance with 1px or put in -1px the problem will be solved.

That's what I thought it was at first also, but it still did the same thing with negative margins and height changes.

An update to this (savagekabbage and i work together):

We are using the MenuManager with CSS Menu in all 3 sites below.

Here are the sites it is happening to:
http://www.boxcart.com
http://www.imageworksstudio.com

The same code (basically) different site, and it works fine.

I commented out all of the javascript and all of the flash so these weren't the issue.

I also know in IE6 if you have a space between certain objects there will be a space placed between the even if you define the obiject's css as 'display:block;'
Example:
Will cause a space:

Code: Select all

...
<td> 
<img src="sdfsdf" />
</td>
...

will not cause a space:

Code: Select all

...
<td><img src="sdfsdf" /></td>
...

This wasn't the issue.

I also thought it may be the borders as set in the CSS. But this wasn't the case either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Updating this thread in case anyone else is experiencing this issue.

Apparently VistaStat updated their code, and caused the javascript that drives the flyout menus to fail (this only happens in IE6 and Safari).  For now we've commented the code out and everything is working again.  Brian will be contacting VistaStat to alert them about the issue.
