Hi guys, i've tried searching for this but it seems like nobody is having a problem as simple as mine

My website ( www.electro-power.com/CMSMS ) has a horizontal menu in it. Some menu items have submenus with 2nd level submenus beneath that. My first level submenus work fine, but anything below that isn't displaying.

It works just fine in FireFox 3, and i'm sure it did work in IE, but not now. I would class myself as amateur at best, so please give me a shove in the right direction. I'm using the cssmenu template and i've done some basic customization to the css.

I'm using version 1.5.3 of the CMS.

My menu's CSS:

Code: Select all

/* Horizontal menu for the CMS CSS Menu Module */
/* by Alexander Endresen */

#menu_vert {
   margin-left: 1px;
   margin-right: 1px;
}

/* The wrapper clears the floating elements of the menu */

/* Fix for Opera 8 */
.clearb { clear: both; }
#menuwrapper { 
   /* Fix for Opera 8 */ 
   /*   overflow: hidden;  */ 
   background-color: #cc1543;
   width: 100%;
}

/* Set the width of the menu elements at second level. Leaving first level flexible. */
#primary-nav li li { 
   width: 200px;
   background-color: #ffffff;
   -moz-opacity:.85;
   filter:alpha(opacity=85);
}

#primary-nav li li:hover { 
   width: 200px;
   background-color: #ffffff;
   -moz-opacity:.99;
   filter:alpha(opacity=99);
}


/* Unless you know what you do, do not touch this */ 
#primary-nav, #primary-nav ul { 
   list-style: none; 
   margin: 0px; 
   padding: 0px;
}
#primary-nav ul { 
   position: absolute; 
   top: auto; 
   display: none;
}

#primary-nav ul ul { 
   margin-top: 1px;
   margin-left: -1px;
   left: 100%; 
   top: 0px;
}
	
#primary-nav li { 
   margin-left: -1px;
   float: left;
}

#primary-nav li li { 
   margin-left: 0px;
   margin-top: -1px;
   float: none; 
   position: relative;
}

/* Styling the basic apperance of the menu elements */
#primary-nav li a { 
   display: block; 
   margin: 0px; 
   padding: 3px 10px; 
   text-decoration: none; 
   color: #ffffff;
   font-family: verdana;
   font-size: 12px;
   font-weight: bold;
}


#primary-nav li li a { 
   display: block; 
   margin: 0px; 
   padding: 3px 10px; 
   text-decoration: none; 
   color: #333366;
   font-family: Arial;
   font-size: 8pt;
   font-weight: normal;
}

/*
#primary-nav li a:hover {
   color: #000000;
   font-weight: bold;
}
*/
	

#primary-nav li {
   background-color: #cc1543;
}

/* Styling the basic apperance of the active page elements (shows what page in the menu is being displayed) */

#primary-nav li.menuactive { 
   background-color: #cc1543; 
}


/* Styling the basic apperance of the menuparents - here styled the same on hover (fixes IE bug) */
#primary-nav ul li.menuparent, 
#primary-nav ul li.menuparent:hover, 
#primary-nav ul li.menuparenth { 
/* arrow for menuparents */
   background-image: url(images/cms/CUKarrow.gif); 
   background-position: center right; 
   background-repeat: no-repeat; 
}


/* Styling the apperance of menu items on hover */

#primary-nav li:hover, 
#primary-nav li.menuh, 
#primary-nav li.menuparenth, 
#primary-nav li.menuactiveh { 
   background-color: #c0c0c0;
}


/* The magic - set to work for up to a 3 level menu, but can be increased unlimited */

/* 
just add 
#primary-nav li:hover ul ul, 
#primary-nav li.menuparenth ul ul ul,
for fourth level 
*/
#primary-nav ul, 
#primary-nav li:hover ul, 
#primary-nav li:hover ul ul, 
#primary-nav li.menuparenth ul, 
#primary-nav li.menuparenth ul ul { 
   display: none; 
}

/* add 
#primary-nav ul ul ul li:hover ul, 
#primary-nav ul ul ul li.menuparenth ul,
for fourth level
*/
#primary-nav li:hover ul, 
#primary-nav ul li:hover ul, 
#primary-nav ul ul li:hover ul, 
#primary-nav li.menuparenth ul, 
#primary-nav ul li.menuparenth ul, 
#primary-nav ul ul li.menuparenth ul { 
   display: block; 
}


/* IE Hacks */
#primary-nav li li { 
   float: left; 
   clear: both; 
}
#primary-nav li li a { 
   height: 1%; 
}

#primary-nav dfn {
        display: none
}

For those who ever run in to a similar issue, my submenus had stopped working because I had applied a transparency to them:

#primary-nav li li {
width: 200px;
background-color: #ffffff;
-moz-opacity:.85;
filter:alpha(opacity=85);
}

I'm not sure why that causes the menus to fail, but it does. I've marked the post as solved, but I suppose in some ways it's not. I've just had to work around that issue. If anyone can offer any pointers on why that isn't working i'd be most appreciative.

I must say, seeing as every one of my posts has gone unanswered so far, it doesn't half force you to learn fast!

You could try using a PNG at 85% opacity as your background instead and this method (http://www.twinhelix.com/css/iepngfix/) to assure cross-browser accessibility.
