IE8 and child arrow not displaying

[NevilleLang]

Hi,

I have just installed PixoPoint menu and have been playing around with it since yesterday. I use the K2 template and that menu system does not have a featrue for dropdown menus, though I tried to modify it using the ‘Son of Suckerfish’ details I saw on the net but it did not work. I have found that the PixoPoint menu does provide me with with nice dropdown menus on a horizontal menu bar.

I set the "Enable arrow mark-up" feature in the PixoPoint menu options but noticed that the double arrow, indicating that the menu item has a submenu, does not appear at all when using IE8. The double arrow does appear on Opera, Firefox and Chrome.

Does anyone else have this problem and is there a workaround?

It works fine. You can see it in action here:

If it’s not working on your site then it is presumably a site specific problem … https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/free-support-menus/

Hi Ryan,

I can see that the double arrow does work on your website in IE8 but it does not work on my site in IE8 so I understand why you are saying that it might be something on my site.

I will try out a few things and will let you know if I find something that fixes it.

BTW, I am using the K2 theme.

Thank you for responding quickly.

Regards,
Neville Lang

Hi Ryan,

Interestingly, my web server was down yesterday for many hours. Today, it is back up and now the double-arrow is working on IE8.

I understand that my ISP is moving websites to new servers (from one data centre to another) and so it seems that a change of physical server has fixed this problem.

You were right to indicate that the double-arrow issue seemed to be a server issue with IE8.

Hi Ryan
I upgraded pixopoint menu yesterday and it looks like everything is working fine exept the "arrow mark-up". I can check the box, but when I update the page the check mark has disappeared and consequently no arrows in the menu. Is it me or do we have a bug? I use the latest WP 2.9.2 with the Atahualpa 3.4.4 theme.
The website is http://www.iskanorfalsterbo.se.

Ryan, I found out what the problem was. I had check "Compatibility mode". When I unchecked it worked just fine.
Thanks for a great plugin

Good to hear you found a solution. Was this a bug though? ie: did it only happen after upgrading? Or did you do something which caused the problem like turning on "Compatibility mode"?

The bug was me. I turned on Compatibility mode. Sorry.
Take care,
Harald
