HI Guys

 

I am pulling my hairs out over this, for some reason the drop downs in IE 6 are not dropping down?

 

Can anyone spot the reason for this? IE7 , fox etc all seem ok.

 

.menu {
position:relative;
z-index:2;
top:-92px; /* moved up to account for picture drop down extra px */

}
/* remove all the bullets, borders and padding from the default list styling */
.menu ul {
padding-top:92px;
margin:0;
list-style-type:none;
}
.menu ul ul {
/*width:150px;*/
text-align:left;
}
/* float the list to make it horizontal and a relative positon so that you can control the dropdown menu positon */
.menu li {
float:left;
position:relative;
}
/* style the links for the top level */
.menu a, .menu a:visited {
display:block;
text-decoration:none; 
color:#fff; 
width:160px;
height:36px;  
/*background:#758279; */

}

/* hide the sub levels and give them a positon absolute so that they take up no room */
.menu ul ul {
visibility:hidden;
position:absolute;
top:31px;
/*width:120px;*/
}


/* style the table so that it takes no part in the layout - required for IE to work */
.menu table {position:absolute; top:0; left:0;}

/* style the second level links */
.menu ul ul a, .menu ul ul a:visited {
/*background:#d4d8bd; */ 
color:#FFF; 
height:auto; 
line-height:1em; 
padding:6px 0px 5px 5px; 
width:96%; /*Menu width */

}



/* style the top level hover */
.menu ul ul a:hover, .menu ul ul a:hover{
color:#000;
background:#ffffff;
filter:alpha(opacity=40);
}
.menu ul ul :hover > a, .menu ul ul :hover > a {
color:#000;
background:#ffffff;
filter:alpha(opacity=40);
}

/* make the second level visible when hover on first level list OR link */
.menu ul li:hover ul,
.menu ul a:hover ul{
visibility:visible; 
}
