Hello all, i am trying to setup the superfish menu and using rollover images (actually changing background images throught the css file). for some reason after tweaking the original css file to display the menu the way i like it, IE refuses to show the menu images. if shows only the ":hover" state images. i have been fighting with this for 3 days now. and no use, can anyone help me out?
i attach here, just in case my modified code. Items named "item#" refer to the different menu items i have (only on the 1st level...) //////////////////////////////////// /*** ESSENTIAL STYLES ***/ .sf-menu, .sf-menu * { padding: 0; list-style: none; margin: 0px; /*background-image: url(../images/menu_bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; background-position: bottom;*/ } .sf-menu { line-height: 1; } .sf-menu ul { /*position: absolute; top: -999em; width: 10em; *//* left offset of submenus need to match (see below) */ } /*{Eliad: this whole class was canceles because i wrote individual classes for each sub menu in my section} */ .sf-menu ul li { width: 100%; } .sf-menu li:hover { visibility: inherit; /* fixes IE7 'sticky bug' */ } .sf-menu li { float: left; position: relative; } .sf-menu a { display: block; position: relative; } .sf-menu li:hover ul, .sf-menu li.sfHover ul { /*left: 0;*/ /* --> was cancelled to allow left positioning of sub- menus*/ top: 3.1em;/*2.5em; match top ul list item height */ z-index: 98; } ul.sf-menu li:hover li ul, ul.sf-menu li.sfHover li ul { top: -999em; } ul.sf-menu li li:hover ul, ul.sf-menu li li.sfHover ul { left: 10em; /* match ul width */ top: 0; } ul.sf-menu li li:hover li ul, ul.sf-menu li li.sfHover li ul { top: -999em; } ul.sf-menu li li li:hover ul, ul.sf-menu li li li.sfHover ul { left: 10em; /* match ul width */ top: 0; } /*** DEMO SKIN ***/ .sf-menu { float: left; margin-bottom: 6px; /*border-bottom-width: 1px; border-bottom-style: solid; border-bottom-color: #6d6e71; */ } .sf-menu a, .sf-menu li ul a { border-left: 0px solid #fff; /*ick - might wanna convert that 2nd statement to an independent class*/ border-top: 0px solid #fff; padding: .75em 1em; text-decoration:none; } .sf-menu a, .sf-menu a:visited { /* visited pseudo selector so IE6 applies text colour*/ color: #000000; font-weight: 900; font-size: 13pt; } .sf-menu li { /*background: #FFFFFF;*/ } .sf-menu li li { background: #3AA600; text-align: left; line-height: 1.5; } .sf-menu li li li { background: #3AA600; text-align: left; } .sf-menu li:hover, .sf-menu li.sfHover, .sf-menu a:focus, .sf-menu a:hover { background: #FFFFFF; outline: 0; } /*** arrows **/ .sf-menu a.sf-with-ul { padding-right: 2.25em; min-width: 1px; /* trigger IE7 hasLayout so spans position accurately */ } .sf-sub-indicator { position: absolute; display: block; right: .75em; top: 1.05em; /* IE6 only */ width: 10px; height: 10px; text-indent: -999em; overflow: hidden; background: url('../images/arrows-ffffff.png') no-repeat -10px -100px; /* 8-bit indexed alpha png.
