    Hello,

    The menu is partially working in FF, the top dropdown menu is showing, but the 3rd level menu items are not for some of the menu. Look at the Services menu item in particular, it has 3 levels of menu items, which do not show up in FF.

    In IE7 the dropdown menu doesn’t have the correct background image showing and there is the word false showing up. When you hover over the dropdown item, it changes to the correct color/bg image. Same problem with the 3rd level menu items. If you look at About Us > News & Events, the third level menu has a scroller bar.

    The problem in IE7 started after I upgraded to the latest version of multi-menu, with the previous version the menu was displaying correctly.

    Using WP 2.6.5, and multi-menu 1.0.6.
    Site is: bsc.redesignlab.ca

    The CSS has had the colors and background images changed and some of the widths changed (original css has been commented out where changed).

    Thank you for any help.

    The problems with your flyouts not showing is caused by HTML errors. For example the following:
    [code:u7bslkaw]
    <ul><li><a href="/corporate&sec=corp">Corporate/ Business Services</a></li>
    <ul>
    <li><a href="/corporate/business-development">Business Development</a></li>
    <li><a href="/corporate/workshops">Workshops & Seminars</a></li>
    <li><a href="/corporate/mediation">Dispute Mediation Services</a></li>
    <li><a href="/corporate/coaching">Coaching</a></li>
    </ul>
    [/code:u7bslkaw]

    should be:
    [code:u7bslkaw]
    <ul><li><a href="/corporate&sec=corp">Corporate/ Business Services</a>
    <ul>
    <li><a href="/corporate/business-development">Business Development</a></li>
    <li><a href="/corporate/workshops">Workshops & Seminars</a></li>
    <li><a href="/corporate/mediation">Dispute Mediation Services</a></li>
    <li><a href="/corporate/coaching">Coaching</a></li>
    </ul>
    </li>
    [/code:u7bslkaw]

    Thank you for your help. That fixed the FF problem, but we are still getting the white background showing False in IE7, as shown in the 2 files I attached to the initial message.

    Thank you again.

    I can’t replicate your problem. I do not see the world ‘false’.

    Hello,

    It only seems to show up on some computers, but it is consistent on the ones that it does happen on. It is a Vista IE7 system that the screenshots are from.

    Has anyone else had this problem?

    #4345

    I suspect this isn’t a problem with the plugin, rather a problem somewhere else on the page which is intermittently rendering on screen due to some sort of coding abnormality – that’s just a stab in the dark guess though.

    Actually, on relooking at your page I’m surprised the menu is displaying in IE7 at all. You are missing a Doctype declaration, without one IE7 will default to quirks mode and create a stack of problems in getting the page to look correct.

    I am having the same issue in that the dropdown is no longer working in IE or FF.  I’m pretty sure I have messed up something in the CSS.  If you could look it, that would be great.  http://www.usfinances.info.&nbsp; "Credit Report FAQ" should be a sub of "Credit Reports" but it shows all the time, not just when I mouse over "Credit Reports".  Thanks!

    I think I found the problem.  If I check off the ‘inline’ option in the advanced settings the drop down works great.  My host must have a problem with the style.php file serving up for css content.

    Yes, it definitely looks like this is the case. What host are you using? Is it a Windows server perhaps?

    Hello Ryan,

    What page were you looking at that didn’t have a doctype? When I look at the source code the doctype is showing as follows:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"&gt;
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&quot; dir="ltr" lang="en-US">

    <head profile="http://gmpg.org/xfn/11"&gt;
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

    Thank you for your help.

    I guess I was looking at the wrong page as it does seem to have a Doctype now.
