[css-d] Menu broken in IE - Please help!
Hi all, I have a double horizontal drop down menu that I've finally gotten to work in Firefox and Safari, but fails miserably in MS IE 5.5-7. It seems I have 2 issues: 1. The background behind the menu bar repeats itself and is not properly positioned under the above background image. 2. The menu items do not list horizontally, but vertically. The site is at: http://www.yogabasics.com/cms Any ideas on what the problem could be???

I looked at the code and css, but the fact that your css has many errors [1] will definitely inhibit any debugging, or at very least, make it much more difficult to obtain help. Of particular concern are the errors regarding margin syntax which should not have commas between the values, but spaces. Perhaps some of the IE woes will go away when this is straightened out.

Hi Ray, I thought I had validated the CSS before, but now all is fixed and validates fine. I don't have MS IE on my iMac yet, so I'm waiting on a screen shot from browsershots.org to see if this has helped.

(Win/IE7) I really love the look of your double horizontal menus in FF (and Opera and Safari), though, and am eagerly waiting for someone who's more experienced than I am at this to help find a solution.

Giving a xhtml doctype fixes the menu problem in IE7 completely, but the html and xhtml doctypes I tried gave many validations errors regardless, these need to be addressed.

Re: [css-d] Menu broken in IE - Please help!
Thanks Alan, I've changed the doctype to: XHTML 1.0 Transitional and this does render the menu correctly in IE 7. But it is still breaking under IE 6 and 5.5. If anyone else can shed some more light as to why I'm having problems in these browsers, please let me know.
