Hi All,

I spend a good number of days getting the menu to work in IE6 and IE7 (to a lesser degree) but now I check IE8 and it is broken.

http://203.123.59.65/~admin232/pages/home.php

I used Multiflex3 as a base for the main menu and adapted it to include styled graphics. There are a couple of different ways with the showmenu2 call so I am not sure if I need something else here in my index.php file, but this was how the downloaded Multiflex3 index.php file called it in.

I can change the showmenu2 line to something else I have used for another horizontal menu, but I am already up to the 3rd version of the menu to get it to work across all browsers. I am pulling my hair out (not that I have much) and wonder if I am overlooking something simple, before I re-write again.

Thanks.

Hi weiry,

maybe you should use this menu script:

http://www.lwis.net/free-css-drop-down-menu/

It's quite easy to customize and there are similar examples which run in all IEs. Of course it works with show_menu2:

Code: [Select]

<?php show_menu2(0,SM2_ROOT,SM2_ALL,SM2_ALL,&#39;[li][a][menu_title]</a>&#39;,&#39;</li>&#39;,&#39;<ul id="nav" class="dropdown dropdown-horizontal">&#39;,&#39;</ul>&#39;,false,false); ?>

regards
-if.

I am dealing with the same issue with multiflex 3, so I would be interested in how you fixed your problem.

Looks ok now in IE8 did you get it fixed?

I found some code on the web and did a total re-write of the menu for a fourth time. I think it works okay now across all browsers. A fair headache. I always seem to strike problems with menus. Wish there was a program out there to make menus that could be integrated into WB.

There are programs out there to develop menus, but if you make menu changes within WB then you also have to make the change in the program and then ftp up so it picks up the new menu.

I guess we all need our challenges!

Indem man direkt hinter <head> folgende Zeile setzt

Code: [Select]

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

zwingt man den IE8 sich wie IE7 zu verhalten., Und die Seite wird korrekt dargestellt.
