Hi everyone, I made this menu - <snip> - but it does not work in ie6. but, it works ok in ff and ie7.

can anyone help as i am sure this must be a common problem for such menus therefore there must be a hack. thank you.

Hi, please do not post URI's, this will be removed by a moderator.

Please strip code down to minimum required to replicate the problem and post that.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld! euroguy

I think what you're possibly up against is li:hover not working in IE6 and below?

IE before version 7 did not support :hover on any element other than <a> and if this is your issue you're right there are workarounds. JS required.

Take a look for 'whatever:hover [google.com]' an MS proprietary file which purely adds the :hover facility to IE allowing the CSS to be coded as normal, or take a look for "Suckerfish" javascript which is a javascript you add to the pages/divs required - this requires that you add extra classnames for IE.

also I recently found there was a way [webmasterworld.com] which kind of combines the two (JS in the CSS), might be useful for testing?

let us know how it goes
