Help with IE-hack

[Mzungu]

Why does IE not show my menu at http://webkasteller.dk/adaptive-planning?


Thanks,

Just a note: FF totally screws up the bright blue bar on the left of the screen - it jumps up.

[Mzungu]

I know, but if you refresh the page it will jump down in place. Any ideas for this?

What version of IE? The one I'm running worked fine with it (6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2_gdr.040517-1325).

[Mzungu]

I'm not sure which one. A friend of mine reported the problem. I use 6.0.2600.something and he uses 6.0.2800.something and he was the only one to get an error.

I find it very strange. I guess I'll have to recode the menu from the start.

I'm running IE6.0.2900.2180 xpsp_sp2_rtm 040803-2159

seems fine

I'm using WinXP, IE 6.0.2900.2180 and I get the following when I rollover the "products" link.

The menu under "solutions" has the same problem. None of the other links have submenus we far as I see. Take a look at the code that you have for those submenus...you've got them having a left padding of 100 for the <ul>, and a left padding of 100 for the <li> (for each sub link). That's part of why they're appearing so far to the right.

Also, not sure if they'll fix the issue at hand, but you might want to fix the css errors (http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwebkasteller.dk%2Fadaptive-planning%2F) in your css file.

I've fixed the validation errors (except from one hack which has nothing to do with the menu).

Where's that left padding? I can't find it in any of the stylesheets nor embedded.

I've made another version of the page: http://webkasteller.dk/test/nymenu.html

In this one I have removed all references to ul and li in style.css so that only what is in mhalist.css should apply. By the way the menu is snatched from http://adaptive-planning.com where I am convinced that it works.

Why doesn't it work on my site? How can I make hacks for some versions of IE 6.0 and not for others?

[Mzungu]

Okay, I've made it really easy now.

At http://webkasteller.dk/test/nymenu.html firefox will put the three submenus at the same location just below the word Products while IE will put the three submenus according to their starting point (and ignore the position:absolute, I think).

Heeeelp :(
