    Hi…

    I’ve tried out the plugin witho other browsers like FF, Opera, Chrome & Safari..all work perfectly until it comes to IE.

    I managed to get it working in IE6, but now it’s not working in IE7.

    I’ve setup a test page here, can anyone advise what’s wrong ?

    Appreciate your time & help <img decoding=” title=”Smiley” />

    I’d be surprised if that is your only problem actually, you have content above your Doctype. The Doctype needs to be the first thing in your pages or it will badly mess up the page rendering (particularly in IE):
    [code:2b4ptnu9]<head>
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US">[/code:2b4ptnu9]

    Should be:
    [code:2b4ptnu9]
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="ltr" lang="en-US">
    <head>[/code:2b4ptnu9]

    Ryan,

    I have a similar problem with IE7. After clicking on a second level selection, the third level doesn’t show in IE7 only. Firefox is fine.

    Here’s the head info which I don’t think I have any control over:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"&gt;
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"&gt;

    It’s so exciting when there is someone that actually answers questions. May you live long and prosper!

    Hmmm, you seem to have stumbled across a very odd bug there RickA. The menu seems to work fine in general, but when you are trying to hover over the current page item it seems to mess up. Removing the following fixed it, I have no idea how though:

    [code:3vvx4sse]#suckerfishnav li .current_page_item {
        background:#122C83;
        }
    [/code:3vvx4sse]

    The problem with that fix is that you no longer have the highlight over the current page. I’m not sure how to get around that as I don’t know what is causing it (presumably some sort of IE7 bug).

    Well, I’m not crazy about that idea. I think I’d rather live with the problem for the time being.

    Here’s some code which should fix the problem:

    [code:11nw9155]#suckerfishnav .current_page_parent {
        background:#3D57A8;
        }
    #suckerfishnav li .current_page_item a {
    background:#122C83;
        }
    #suckerfishnav li .current_page_item li a {
    background:transparent;
        }
    [/code:11nw9155]

    I’m still not sure what is causing the problem though.

    Excellent. Glad to hear it worked.

    Pity I can’t figure out why though <img decoding=” title=”Sad” /> It is [b:38bbnixa]really[/b:38bbnixa] annoying me!

    One more related issue that you should know about. IE7 problem only. Go to http://ttz1.com/ and pull down the "About" menu and click on "Management Teams". The daughter page drop down with names of the team members is not visibile until you hover over "Fishing Teams" and then come back. Weird! Naturally, it doesn’t happen in Firefox.

    I’ll try to find a fix for that tonight. If I don’t, then post back here to remind me as I probably forgot.

    It sounds like a similar problem to the last one, so presumably I’ll be able to hack a solution into place for it.

    You certainly are good at bug finding <img decoding=” title=”Smiley” />

    Reminding you to seek a fix for the problem described above.

    Meanwhile, I abandoned the horizontal slider and am using the horizontal dropdown.
