Eddy_P Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Greetings from Australia. I was wondering whether you would be able to suggest how to fix a problem with IE6. My website drop down menu does not work correctly in IE6. It is OK in IE7 and FF 3.0 and others. The horizontal menu appears on every page once past the welcome screen. The drop down menu does not stay in three columns in the given area when the mouse goes over the horizontal menu items. I have progressively diminishing the margin and padding values, but the presentation of the 'menu subject' content is starting to suffer in 'normal' browsers. Link via: http://www.worldbreakingdiscoveries.com.au Any thoughts would be appreciated. A copy of the css file is HERE In another file (h_menu.php), the widths of the 3 columns in the 'menu area' are individually defined; eg. class='menuSlideTop' style='width:170px;' ALSO in this file, is some code for IE6. This may be the problem, as I inherited this code from someone else. A copy of the menu's php file is HERE A copy of a page with the horizontal menu is HERE A live link HERE The page does not work properly in IE6. 17% of my visitors use IE 6 Thanks, Eddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louisstephens Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 Alright, I was looking at the site on IE5-7/Opera/FF.. and the menu was going crazy for me. I would click a link, and the main would change, but a sec later it would switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFilmGod Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Why are you hacking your code to work with IE6 when you websites states: If you are using Internet Explorer 6 - you will not have pages displaying correctly in your browser. Please upgrade Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please upgrade Thanks for replying. The OP was back on 21st April 09. After reading comments/suggestions and possible fixes (that do not seem to work) since then, I added the above cited quote on April 26th.

Eddy_P Posted June 14, 2009 Author Share Posted June 14, 2009 The menu has been removed from the site linked in the OP. Another page with a similar menu with similar problems may be found here: http://www.worldbreakingdiscoveries.com.au/media/index.php It still does not want to work in IE6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
