help: second level drop-downs not showing up in IE7

[Anonymous]

I am having difficulty getting the menu to work correctly in IE7. The submenus show up correctly in Firefox but not in IE7.

The site is here…

There should be submenus under About Us…Our Beliefs & Our Leadership.

Thanks!

Hi David,
Nice to see you’ve got the page parent effect working. I’m working on a new CSS generator at the moment which features that effect.

I’ll take a closer look at your site tonight to see if I can figure out what the problem is.

Hi David,
How come you are applying the #suckerfishnav to both a surrounding DIV tag and the UL itself? And why the #nav-search code? The CSS generator only provides a code for the UL tag.

[code:2tebwg19]<div id="suckerfishnav">
<ul id="suckerfishnav" class="nav-search">
</ul>[/code:2tebwg19]

would normally be:

[code:2tebwg19]<ul id="suckerfishnav">
</ul>[/code:2tebwg19]

I am using this in place of the traditional navbar in the Options Themes for WordPress.

The nav-search class is used for the search box on the right side of the navigation menu.

This morning I removed the "suckerfishnav" tags from all but the ul. I also eliminated the class for the search box. It did not make a difference on the submenus in IE7. They still did not show up. The only other alteration I have made to the original style generated by your site is z-index to bring the dropdowns to the front.

I really appreciate you providing this tool and thanks for taking time to give my problem a look. If you are able to look anymore or have any ideas for what may be causing the problem. I appreciate the help.

Thanks again!

Hey Ryan,

I seem to have solved the problem.

Found some help in this article…

http://css-class.com/articles/explorer/sticky/

What I had to do was add this piece of code to the stylesheet…

#suckerfishnav li li:hover ul {
margin: 0px 0 0 12px
}

Then voila…the submenus appeared in IE7…had to tweak positioning a little bit.

Thanks again for your help. I appreciate it.

My submenu in IE7 comes down but i have 2 problems,

a) the menu pops down and doesn’t display corret colours and has the word false in it. But the menu items are still clickable. Displays perfect in firefox.

b) To move onto the sub menu items you have to be quick in IE otherwise it disappears before you can click on the submenu..

Hi Hatch,
I need a link to your site or at least the HTML/CSS before I can help.

In most cases like this, you have some sort of tag surrounding the menu which is styling the unordered list, you need to either get rid of the styling or the tag for the menu to display correctly.

The ‘false’ text sounds odd.

I have just upgraded to the latest version of the menu and am having the same problem as Hatch. The top submenus display fine in FF but in IE7 I am getting ‘false’ showing up with the submenus faintly in the background. The site is bsc.redesignlab.ca.

[imported_Ryan]

The menu wasn’t at the address you gave.

I did find an example of it at http://bsc.redesignlab.ca/corporate&sec=corp/, but I can’t see any problems with that menu in IE7 and there is no ‘false’ error message showing up.
