PLEASE HELP! Spry horizontal menu bar

[sara moore]

I've created a website and used the spry widget for a horizontal menu bar. It
looks and performs great in Safari but when opened in Explorer the drop down
menus appear at the top of the page instead of dropping down in their correct
position underneath their respective tabs. I have downloaded the spry update
1.6 and it didn't fix it. I am VERY frustrated. The web address to view the
problem is [url]http://www.amosfamily.com/index2[/url] Any help is really appreciated!

I had a similar problem, only my menus were cascading off to the right instead
of down.

I went through step by step and checked each time in IE until I found what was
doing it.

Under the ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul rule in the Box menu, I set the width to
auto. That was the point when my menu bars started going off to the right in
IE. As soon as I changed that property to a fixed width, my menu bars cascaded
down and I haven't had any problems since.

Some of my drop menu titles are a little long, so they go on two lines in the
drop list, but it's better than having screwed up drop lists.

Note though that the ul.MenuBarHorizontal li rule can be set to auto if you
want. Just not the ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul rule.

That worked for me, so hope it helps!

to southeastram,
do you mean the first ul.menubarhorizontal ul ? i did put a fixed number in the width and it didn't work. Can you tell me more?

[southeastram]

Yes, it is the first ul.menubarhorizontal ul tag. I have it set at ems, if that
makes a difference?

I guess my advice would be to start from scratch like I did (either delete all
your current settings or start over in a new site setup). If you notice, the
default settings in Dreamweaver don't make the drop lists go to crazy places.
Then, add your attributes one by one and after each one added, check in IE to
see if it still works correctly.

That was the only way I was able to find what the problem was. Maybe my
problem isn't a universal one?
