Unreliable drop down`

maxelcat · Jan 16, 2007

Hi

I have had some reports from a user that there is an issue with a SF drop down menu that I am using.

http://www.maxelcat.co.uk

I have tested in opera, FF, IE6,7 and various NS. I can very occasionally get the effect in IE7 but not in anything else.

If you click on "Services" or "Portfolio" the menus sometimes stick - as the user rolls off the menus stay visible. (As these are top level words in the list they are not meant to be links)

Anybody got any ideas what this might be about? I suspect an IE7 "Thingy" of some sort.

Thanks

Edward

Are you adding

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

If so this will send IE 7 into quirks mode and might cause some problems. I had this issue with the brothercake menu

Hi

Thanks for the reply. This is the doctype and first few lines of the page. I don't have that code you replied with in my page.

Code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">[/URL]
<html xmlns="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><!--[/URL] InstanceBegin template="/Templates/index.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->
<title>Maxelcat Web and Graphic Design</title>


<style type="text/css" media="screen">
<!--
etc...

incdientally, if its relevant I use DW8.

thanks

You might check out over at International Web Developer's Network. They are the ones that noticed that one problem that I had. They might be able to see what is happening with yours.
