[WSG] Explorer woes with list dropdowns
Hello fellow web standard groupies. I have built a dropdown menu using lists. It works in Firefox and Safari but doesn't seem to work in IE6 or 7. Any suggestions? http://www.treasurehillskihomes.com/TESTING/navtest.html Greatly appreciated!

Re: [WSG] Explorer woes with list dropdowns
Seems I got it working in IE 6. The background color cannot be the same for the css from .menus a, .menus :visited and from .menus :hover the two values must be different, or the script wont work. Can anyone confirm it is working in IE 7? http://www.treasurehillskihomes.com/TESTING/navtest.html Thanks! Shane On Jan 28, 2008, at 8:52 PM, Shane Helm wrote: Hello fellow web standard groupies.

IE6 doesn't respect the *:hover pseudo selector if I remember rightly... It only supports it for anchors, e.g a:hover You may have to look at a small bit of javascript to 'activate' this behavior. Im pretty sure this is your problem for IE browsers. Karl On Jan 29, 2008 2:52 PM, Shane Helm [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello fellow web standard groupies. I have built a dropdown menu using lists.

No, because he's using one of Stu Nicholl's js-free menus. The trade off is a lot of IE conditional comments wrapped around table tags. :/ -- Tyssen Design http://www.tyssendesign.com.au Ph: (07) 3300 3303 Mb: 0405 678 590 *** List Guidelines: http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm Unsubscribe: http://webstandardsgroup.org/join/unsubscribe.cfm Help: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ***
Re: [WSG] Explorer woes with list dropdowns
A JavaScript function that you might be interested in is called the 'Suckerfish' technique. It is a well known problem that IE is difficult at best in these situations so to avoid lots of css hacks etc. you can use a little bit of JS instead. It's accessible, standards compliant and easy to use. There is a nice article about it here: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns On 1/29/08, Karl Lurman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: IE6 doesn't respect the *:hover pseudo selector if I remember rightly...
