Menu not dropping down

[imported_Ryan]

It seems that the resetting of that background isn’t correctible later. So to get around it, you can’t specify background:transparent on a LI via a general reset.

Below is a new reset.css file which keeps everything identical to how it was before, but removes [b:1kboafzf]only[/b:1kboafzf] the background:transparent from the LI tags.

}

/* remember to define focus styles! */
:focus {

}

/* remember to highlight inserts somehow! */

text-decoration: line-through;
}

/* tables still need ‘cellspacing="0"’ in the markup */
table {
border-collapse: collapse;
border-spacing: 0;
}[/code:1kboafzf]

I’ve tested this in IE6, IE7, IE8, FF3, Opera, Chrome and it seems to be working fine.

Sorry for not picking up on the problem earlier. I have a bad feeling I was looking at the wrong site when I left my earlier comment ” title=”Sad” />

Thanks Ryan for keeping this posted.  Will check back again in the AM.

Er, did I make it clear that I have already solved the problem already?

You just need to replace the reset.css file with the one above.

I received your email and have replied to it. Hopefully it actually gets through this time!

Ryan, I tried to add: "#suckerfishnav li {background:none}"
but it didn’t work yet…

Hi,
I guess I haven’t explained this very well. The answer was in my post at the top of this page.

[b:27wndeda]New explanation:[/b:27wndeda]
There is a file in your theme called reset.css, it is that file which is causing the problem. Open it in a text editor, then replace the contents with the following code (which is almost identical, but doesn’t apply background:transparent to the LI tags).

I apologize, but I failed to see the "2nd" page on this thread since the number was a small font, I missed it…
That is why I couldn’t see your replies after a few comments.

I have removed the background: transparent from reset.css and it works now.

You have exceeded my expectations again.
Thank you again for your help!

[imported_Ryan]

Ah, that explains it! I couldn’t understand why you kept emailing and posting here asking for help when I’d already answered it.

Hopefully you got it done in time. I recall you saying you needed it done by Saturday (or I’m confused with someone else – which is possible).
