Dropdown doesn’t show up in IE

[Anonymous]

Hi,

To ease up my workload, I simply have to let you guys tell me how to fix this ” title=”Wink” />

So basically: I have a wordpress installation at the address http://not-legit.biz/ace (the dropdown menu is not styled yet) and it only works on FF and chrome, IE 7 doesn’t show the dropdown part at all…

Ps. I only have 1 item under "internet" atm.

It’s probably styling from the following tag overlaying the menu:
[code:e90hqoto]<div class="navi">[/code:e90hqoto]

I’m having the same issue – seems to be a lot of ie7 issues on the forum.  Here’s the site: frontierservicedesign.com

Showing up in just about all browsers but ie7.

Did I say I hate Microsoft today yet?  ” title=”Smiley” />

Thanks in advance for a great plugin that apparently doesn’t play well with ie7…but plays well with everyone else…

Hi richardb,
The plugin plays fine with IE7. All of the problems you are seeing are related to the way people implement it into their theme.

Your particular problem is probably related to you placing it within an unordered list (UL) tag:
[code:60p7voj7]<div align="right">
<ul>
<?php suckerfish(); ?>
</ul>
</div>
[/code:60p7voj7]

Try this:
[code:60p7voj7]<div align="right">
<?php suckerfish(); ?>
</div>
[/code:60p7voj7]

That align="right" code could cause troubles too. That is old school tag soup, although it should validate (I think) if you use a transitional Doctype. If the first solution doesn’t work, maybe try removing align="right" and see if that fixes it. If neither work then let me know and I’ll take a closer look for you.

richardb – I forgot to mention that the reason you can’t have extra UL tags is because the plugin outputs it’s own UL tags, so you had the following in your source code:
[code:gfscxeeb]
<ul>
<ul id="suckerfishnav"
[/code:gfscxeeb]

You can place an unordered list inside another unordered list, but you need to do it within a list item, not the containing block itself, so something like the following:
[code:gfscxeeb]
<ul>
<li>
<ul>
<li></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
[/code:gfscxeeb]

However … you would need to be careful doing that with the plugin as the styling from the surrounding unordered list will provide style information to the menu.

I’ve scoured the boards, but can’t find any reason why the menu should not work in IE. Here is the address; it simply doesn’t work and I have no idea why. Please help!

(‘Verintos’ should have two sub-items.)

Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Nice menu, but we don’t provide free support for customised menus sorry.

could be a simple fix of inputing a z index value of 1 into the appropiate css definitions.

Worked for me!
