Hi,
I've been working on a horizontal drop down menu today, and I can get it to display perfectly in everything bar IE6.
Basically instead of them lining up horizontally, they line up vertically instead.
And this only happens when I don't give the LI in the menu list and fixed width, which I don't want because if I have a fixed width the menu list get's too long due to some words being longer than others and then it doesn't fit on the page!
the website is currently hosted at www.tri-websites.com
it will ask for a username & password
username - trisynergy
password - fsr
some people have said it may be because of the csshover.htc file I have in there as it is linked at the top of the page for if IE, but IE7 work's fine with it so I'm not sure if that's the problem!
the css for it is shown below - /* Begin CSS Drop Down Menu */

IE usually needs a Javascript workaround for the incomplete :hover implementation (:hover works only on anchors)
edit: your htc file may cover that though…
@Dormilich
yeah the htc file should work as it's been used before. I'm pretty sure the link to it in the html is fine. - <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

I've got it in a folder called css, and that link should be fine as it's the same as any other link to that css folder.

if you've got time to spare, you could try if using the Javascript solves the problem
I've actually started doing it using something else, so I've decided to scrap the previous bit I was doing! On a tough time scale so need to keep going with it!
You appear to be using this menu: http://sperling.com/examples/menuh/
Re-read the instructions for its implementation in IE/6-- particularly as it regards the inclusion of and path for the file csshover.htc. Follow it exactly as he has done and all could be well.
It is difficult to give you anymore specific help as you are working on the file; consequently, impossible to hit a moving target. And a locked directory makes it even more difficult.

http://www.intraproducts.com/beta/infinicall/index.asp has a drop down menu
on Investor Relations. The markup and CSS are both valid, and most of the
time, the menu drops down correctly. However, sometimes, mousing over the
words does not make the menu drop down, or the drop down disappears.
Can anyone spot anything in the markup or CSS that is causing this
behavior?
Thanks in advance.
