Many thanks Nick!!!
You have given me much insight re our intranet site's problems. I guess it
all boils down to the need of a Plone upgrade (btw our version is below
ver2.1, w/c is 2.0.5)..Too primitive i guess =(
Last year the Project Team already tried to upgrade our plone/zope core and
the corresponding 3rd party products needed by the site. The team already
had the upgraded setup unfortunately the upgrading activity did not push
tru because using the upgraded Plone product, (Please check if we were
right on this conclusion) all CMS content pages and codes need to be
re-developed --- in other words a "zero-based development."
In my opinion, some of the add-on products (3rd party products) might have
caused the garbled page during our upgrade activity. Such instance would be
for the ZFloatMenu to be re-coded and for it to align within the Page. On
the otherhand, same case as that of the ZFloatMenu product since in the
CMS-side (Plone-CMS), our content providers are creating the document then
layer them within the site using the CPanel add-on. Using the CPanel
product, documents are layered within Plone as to this manner: Left
Hand/Page Regional Controls --- Center/the Content Page --- Right Hand
page. So i guess CPanel may have the same garbled effect on the page during
that upgrade activity. Just want to make sure if we were right as to our
conclusion during that activity.
Anyway, again thank you Nick for sharing your expertise on these issues.

Dean,
You didn't say which lower version of Plone you have. However, if its
earlier than 2.1, there are many reasons why you should upgrade soon
anyway. I just googled for ZFloatMenu and it looks old. I don't know
much about ZFloatMenu -maybe the functionality it provides is now core
in later version of Plone, because that would explain how it doesn't
seem to be used by many people anymore. Someone else might comment on this.
In general, when you upgrade Plone, you have to look at the product
page on plone.org for all 3rd-party products you have (unless they are
zope products in which case check zope.org against your new zope
version) and see what version they are tested against. Sometimes even if
it only says tested against version x it will still work on x+1 but you
have to look on the newsgroups to see who is using it.
It sounds to me like you need to migrate Plone to a later version and
that would solve a number of problems besides IE7. This may be
complicated if latest versions of ZFloatMEnu & CPanel don't work with
that, or you may be lucky. The best way to know is to try it out. In the
worst case scenario you might have to change some things so as not to
depend on those particular 3rd-party products.
This newsgroup , plone setup, is connected with installing and
upgrading Plone. Don't forget also plone-users, which has more traffic
for answers to some other specific questions you might have.
Regards,
Nick
