I have a site at http://www.radicore.org which has a menu bar down the left
hand side. When certain menu items are selected (What is Radicore? Products,
Documentation, Licensing, Legal) a sub-menu automatically appears. This
works fine in FF and Opera, but in IE as soon as the "Legal" option, or any
of its sub-menus, are selected, all the hyperlinks disappear from view as if
the foreground and background colours have become the same. However, these
links will appear if you move the mouse over them.
This is all done with CSS, not javascript, and I'm using the same technique
for all the sub-menus. I cannot understand why everything works fine in FF
and Opera, and why it is only IE that screws up with the "Legal" menu item.
I've tried everything I can think of, but I'm totally lost. Can any of you
gurus cast any light on this peculiar behaviour? Is it a bug in my code or a
bug in IE?

Using W2K IE6, I don't see any problem such as you describe. Could you
try a different computer?
Only other comment I have after a quick glance: is this a new site? And
if so, why are you using a Traditional doctype instead of Strict?

From the description and looking at the actual page - it's a known IE

What kind of doctype do you consider Traditional? ;-)
Maybe it's because Strict is actually a regression... several things
that were previously just fine are no longer included.

I agree with the second phrase of your sentence but not the first.
However, they really shouldn't have axed "target". It smacks of prideful
self-righteousness.

Strict is to further reinforce separating content from presentation. At
least that is how I view the difference. http://www.w3.org/QA/2002/04/valid-dtd-list.html

What's the latest news on the "disappearing controls" issue? I've seen a

Just to review, the problem is that at seemingly random intervals, a form

I am working to fix someone else's database. However, the person who created it seems to have somehow minimized the menu bar. Right-clicking does not work, and the only options I have at the top are File; Format; Window; Help; Adobe PDF. Even these menus are very limited. How can I return the normal menu at the top to this database?

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
