Hello, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me fix a CSS problem I'm having on Mac IE 5.2 & 5.23. See the following URL:

[rmideas.com...]

It works just fine in Mozilla, Netscape, and Safari for Mac, as well as Mozilla, and IE for PC.

If you try it out in one of the working browsers you will see the blue Navigation menu in the right hand side of the title bar. A mouseover on the Navigate To opens up a CSS drop down menu with links. Works just as it should.

In the problem browser nothing shows up where the menu should be. It exists however and the links work because if you but your mouse where the menu should be the hand shows up.

I imagine it's some inheritance issue, but I'm unable to pinpoint a solution.

Thanks for imparting your wisdom!

I wouldn't say that works fine, the menu got stuck in mozilla in the open position.

The only problem with IE mac is that it doesn't support what you're trying to do, that's not surprising, it had very bad javascript support.

Read towards the end of this thread, there's a link to a menuing system that does work, not as simple, but pretty simple:

I actually fixed it. And have updated the page if anyone is interested. I had an extra div tag that was of no use so I just ripped it out of the code and now it all seems to work fine in every browser I care about.

Mac OS9 latest version of Mozilla, Netscape, IE
Mac OSX IE 5.2 and greater, Safari 1.0 and greater, Mozilla 1.4 and greater
PC IE 6.0 and greater, Firebird 0.7 and greater.

There are minor issue in the Mozilla's of the menu not hiding, but its very unpredictable so I'm declaring it good enough.

The menu not hiding is the first thing I found, I wouldn't call that minor, since it doesn't go away, but it's nice to hear that it works on IE mac.
