Drop down menu appears different in IE (JS and CSS menu)

[SlickAU]

Hey dudes,

 

I am in the final stages of finishing this drop down menu I have made using mainly div tags, javascript and css...

 

It looks absolutely perfect in Firefox, but when you open it up in IE, the dropdown function does not work properly and the css doesn't kick in properly.  ???

 

Here is the code for the page:

 

<div id='topnav'>

<div id="navcontainer">
<div id="navbox" onmouseover="dropdown('1')" onmouseout="drophide()">Application

<div id="navdrop" onmouseover="dropdown('1')" onmouseout="drophide()">
<a href="database/" class="menuitem">Database</a>
</div>
<div id="navdrop1" onmouseover="dropdown('1')" onmouseout="drophide()">
<a href="#" class="menuitem">Frame Editor</a>
</div>
</div>
<div id="navbox" onmouseover="dropdown('2')" onmouseout="drophide()">Websites
<div id="navdrop2" onmouseover="dropdown('yes')" onmouseout="drophide()">
<a href="?p=websites" class="menuitem">View</a>
</div>
</div>
<div id="navbox"><a href="?p=media" class="menuitem">Media</a>
</div>
<div id="navbox"><a href="?p=contact" class="menuitem">Contact</a></div>
</div>
</div>

 

and here is the CSS:

 

#topnav {

margin:0;
padding:0;
height:20px;
width:100%;
background-color:#87c8fb;
z-index:1;

}

#navcontainer {

margin-left:220px;
float:left;
z-index:1;
position:relative;
height:20px;

}

#navbox {

width:120px;
height:17px;
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:center;
color:#FFFFFF;
padding-top:2px;
float:left;
text-decoration:none;


}

#navbox:hover {

background-color:#666666;
border-botcument.getElementById("navdrop1").style.visibility = "visible"

}

else if (number =="2") {


document.getElementById("navdrop2").style.visibility = "visible";

}

}

function drophide() {

document.getElementById("navdrop").style.visibility = "hidden"
document.getElementById("navdrop1").style.visibility = "hidden"
document.getElementById("navdrop2").style.visibility = "hidden"

}



</script>

 

Any help would be much appreciated....

 

Thanks

I don't understand what you're doing here... mixing CSS and JavaScript ? ? ?

In IE this gives lots of errors... In FireFox, the CSS hover works, but the visibility of the menues is always on (no dropdown).

 

I'd separate out the CSS from the JS... maybe that would fix your issue.

Woops this was a mistake i made on the post itself...the code is actually seperate...

 

Here is the CCS Code:

 

#topnav {

margin:0;
padding:0;
height:20px;
width:100%;
background-color:#87c8fb;
z-index:1;

}

#navcontainer {

margin-left:220px;
float:left;
z-index:1;
position:relative;
height:20px;

}

#navbox {

width:120px;
height:17px;
font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size:12px;
font-weight:bold;
text-align:center;
color:#FFFFFF;
padding-top:2px;
float:left;
text-decoration:none;


}

#navbox:hover {

background-color:#666666;
border-bottom:1px solid #333333;
border-top:1px solid #333333;
color:#FFFFFF;

}

#navdrop {

height:18px;
width:120px;
color:white;
background-color:#87c8fb;
padding-top:5px;
margin-top:4px;
visibility:hidden;

}

#navdrop:hover {

color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#666666;

}

#navdrop1 {

height:18px;
width:120px;
color:white;
background-color:#87c8fb;
padding-top:5px;
border-bottom:1px solid #333333;
visibility:hidden;

}

#navdrop1:hover {

color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#666666;

}

#navdrop2 {

height:18px;
width:120px;
color:white;
background-color:#87c8fb;
padding-top:5px;
margin-top:4px;
visibility:hidden;
border-bottom:1px solid #333333;

}

#navdrop2:hover {

color:#FFFFFF;
background-color:#666666;

}

 

and here is the Javascript:

 

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

 

function dropdown(number) {

 

if (number == "1") {

 

document.getElementById("navdrop").style.visibility = "visible"

document.getElementById("navdrop1").style.visibility = "visible"

 

}

 

else if (number =="2") {

 

 

document.getElementById("navdrop2").style.visibility = "visible";

 

}

 

}

 

function drophide() {

 

document.getElementById("navdrop").style.visibility = "hidden"

document.getElementById("navdrop1").style.visibility = "hidden"

document.getElementById("navdrop2").style.visibility = "hidden"

 

}

 

 

 

</script>

Hope this clears it up a bit..

 

Thanks again,
