More on IE7 w/css menu vert [SOLVED]

[sieg23]

Ok - so I'm having the classic problem with whitespace between menu parents and children causing the lists to disappear when you try to move down them, plus now, smarty errors.

http://www.chowmaineguide.com

I'm running CMS 1.04 with the modified stock css vertical menu.

I added/modified my main template header thus:

#pagewrapper {width:expression(P7_MinMaxW(900,925));}
#container {height: 1%;}


{/literal}









#primary-nav li {margin-bottom: -3px;}
#primary-nav li:hover {margin-bottom:-3px;}

... the Navigation: CSSMenu - Vertical stylesheet already had several IE7 hacks commented, but I added the "min-height:0" portions in the bottom section as per a December 'whitespace fix' thread, thus:

/* IE Hack, will cause the css to not validate */

#primary-nav li, #primary-nav li.menuparenth { _float: left; _height: 1%; min-height:0;}  /*03-18*/
#primary-nav li a { _height: 1%; min-height:0;} /*03-18*/

Now I'm getting smarty errors referring to the new IE7 template js code on all Firefox and IE.

string(130) "Smarty error: [in template:15 line 51]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: margin-bottom: -3px; (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 439)" string(111) "Smarty error: [in template:15 line 51]: syntax error: unrecognized tag '' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 583)" string(129) "Smarty error: [in template:15 line 52]: syntax error: unrecognized tag: margin-bottom:-3px; (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 439)" string(111) "Smarty error: [in template:15 line 52]: syntax error: unrecognized tag '' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 583)"

This goes away after refresh, but the whitespace issue remains.

I'm finding lots of info about this, but nothing is quite working to solve it.

Thanks very much for any help!  ~S

do you have your javascript and style stuff (in your templates) inside of {literal}{/literal}  so smarty won't try to parse it?

example from a default template:

{literal}

=b){nw=b+"px";}if(w



#pagewrapper {width:expression(P7_MinMaxW(720,950));}
#container {height: 1%;}


{/literal}

BINGO!

I never understood what that tag was for.

Thank you so so much!
