Flyout menu disappering in IE

[Frankie]

I had some time left after all, and remembered that IE has an analyses tool, too, similar to Firebug. And I found the cause of the problem: the float:left that you gave the #menu... I don't know why, but I guess it is an IE bug. Although you shouldn't use float there, I would think.

While you are at it, have a look at my latest tutorial, or at least the live example the tut will cover: How to turn a menu into a mouse hover and touchscreen onclick menu. Because your menu won't work on the latter, as there is no hovering on touchscreens...

Thanks for spending time on it again. I was playing quite a lot with the whole layout thing. I mean how to position menu, canvas, footer and so on. Finally this was the only way I found out how to make things working as I have wanted. Or is there any way how to have #menu and #canvas next to each other without the float property? If that solves the problem in IE it will be great..

And thanks for the idea with the onclick menu. Never thought about touchscreens..I guess that mainly nowadays it is worth doing.

For that I have to refer you to again my tuts. There is one about positioning, for which there is a whole number of options.
