Hi There

I've been building a website I thought I would intend keeping basic in layout and design. However, to complicate things I have decided to opt for a sucker fish menu and this is now causing me a degree of frustration.

I already had a nav bar I was happy with and decided to increase its funtionality by follow these instructions [htmldog.com] found on htmldog which relate to this sucker fish [htmldog.com] menu.

However, not being an expert at this sort of thing but trying my damnest to solve problems before I seek help, I have now run into problems I cannot solve. Links to the relevant files can be found below:

My problems are (links below):

[gta-jutecity.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk...]
[gta-jutecity.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk...]

I have thus far tried to place a sucker fish dropdown submenu on Link 1 of my nav bar. However, Internet Explorer does not seem to acknowledge that there is a submenu at all and displays absolutely nothing.

Mozilla, on the other hand, partially displays the drop down submenu but is obscured by the 2 black divs I created. This can be seen in action here [gta-jutecity.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk]. Also, although not that important at this point, the first submenu item kinda overlaps the main Link 1 menu item.

I would really appreciate if someone could offer some assistance with this. It's been driving me mad for 2 days now.

Kindest regards

Stewart.

Stewart, links are taboo on this forum so you should take these off before a moderator does this.

Gonnae no dae that!

Hi BeeDeeDubbleU

Thanks for the info.

I never knew links weren't allowed and the Edit option seems to be gone, thus preventing me from removing the links. I've been a member here for 2 years and I remember links being allowed away back then. However, I've not been here for a while and should have read the rules again. :(

Apologies to any mods out there. Please remove my links.

How did you know I was a Jock by the way?

Regards

Stewart.

I can tell you that the reason IE doesn't see the dropdown (and this is explained on the HTML Dog website) is because IE doesn't recognize the :hover pseudoclass on anything other than <a> tags. Son of Suckerfish relies on :hover pseudoclasses on the <li> tags instead off anchor tags.

They do provide a script that you must place in the head of your document to force IE to recognize the :hover over <li> elements.
