horizontal menu displays vertically in IE

mikexavier · 10-16-2008, 12:19 PM

I built this site for my mechanic a while ago, and about a week ago IE started displaying the menu vertically instead of horizontally?

I haven't touched anything on the site for ages so have no idea why this would have changed all of a sudden.

If someone can please take a look I'd really appreciate it...

Works fine in Firefox, chrome, netscape and "sort of ok" in Opera.

If you need more info just let me know.

Thanks

Hi Mike,

First of all, Welcome on board.

Your problem is highlighted:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-5736719-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Anything, above the doctype, pushes ie into Quirksmode.

Place it anywhere on the page, except above the doctype, but I suggest to place it before the closing of the body tag (</body>), as what GA, instructed.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for taking a look Rangana.

I moved

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-5736719-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>

to just before the closing of the body tag, uploaded the index file, refreshed IE but it's still displaying the same.

Any other ideas?

Hey Rangana, checked through the rest of the site for:

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ? "https://ssl." : "http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + gaJsHost + "google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-5736719-1");
pageTracker._trackPageview();
</script>

I had it on another page for some reason? After deleting it, we're back to normal

Thanks for pointing it out, can't believe how fast you responded!
