I've recently stumbled upon Dean Edwards's IE7.js script for correcting non-compliance in IE6 and earlier. It seems a great step forward, to get away from ad hoc hacks. But I've instantly hit a problem with my drop-down menus.
I know there's a problem with IE6 restricting hover effects to hyperlinks, and I've carefully worked round that with suckerfish. It's worked for a long time with no problems (mostly thanks to Eric Meyer). But when I add IE7.js (using the conditional), IE6 only highlights the <a>, instead of the whole <li> box, so the menu becomes unworkable because the drop-downs collapse when one tries to move the mouse to the next level. It makes no difference whether the suckerfish script is called or not. See: http://www.holidaymullandiona.co.uk/accn/bb-central-mull.php (no IE7.js, works normally) http://www.holidaymullandiona.co.uk/accn/bb-central-mull0.php (IE7.js + suckerfish, only <a> highlighted, menus collapse) http://www.holidaymullandiona.co.uk/accn/bb-central-mull1.php (IE7.js, no suckerfish script called, only <a> highlighted, menus collapse) No problem in FF3 or IE7, of course, only IE6. One would expect IE7.js to prevent this behaviour, not cause it. This time I thought I should seek advice before spending all day tearing my hair out.
