Menu not working correctly in IE7?

Post by duplay »

Is their a way to tweek my vert menu so it works correctly in IE7 (when i hover over a menu, the menu pops out to the right, but when a user go to select anything from the sub-menu, it quickly closes not allowing the user to select anythign from the submenu) I would like to tweek without having to upgrade to new version. Works great in IE6 and firefox. Thanks

Thank you for the response I will test tonight- I have another question for you. I have created my site for my school (v.13) and some pages that have been created (but not edited in a while) will let me make changes (to links, text, etc) but when i submit and view live, no changes have been applied to the site. If i revist the page via the admin the changes I made are still in the page. Only work-around i have found is to recreate the page. any thoghts?


thanks
MJD

I tried the bug fix above and no luck>?

The sub menus show but when i roll to the right to select one or any, they quickly disappear. any other thoughts? I can try and upgrade, but even the new 1.02 v vertical menus have issues with ie7.

Probably too late for this but it may help someone else so here goes:

Try and add a "width: 100%;" to the stylesheet "Default CSSMenu Vertical" so it looks like:

#primary-nav li {
width: 100%;
margin-bottom: -1px;
position: relative;
}

You may need to make the margin-bottom more negative as I had to change to -4.
