Menu disappears on postback in IE 6.0

Dated: Wednesday July 13 2005 - 21:42:24 BST
I am using multiple testing web browsers (Firefox 1.0, Netscape 7.2, IE 6.0 sp1) and am only having major issues with the menu working correctly on IE 6.0.
The menu works great on IE; up until there is a postback from the client browser. For example, I have an ASPX search page (http://www.pawline.com/test/results.aspx) that lists items in a datagrid. When an IE user induces a postback, the menu disappears on the screen (no errors seem to be raised). Now, if I do the same scenerio in FireFox/Netscape/etc. it works as expected.
To recreate the problem on my website: Using IE, search for "102" on the top left search box and click on "Find" link/button.
Would someone be able to take a look at my website/code to see what the problem might be?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

Hi Chris,
Just a guess - try removing:
menuwidth="100%";
menualign="right";
replace with:
screenposition="right";

I changed those settings, but it still seems to be causing the same problem. The weird thing is that after the menu disappears on a postback, if you refresh the browser, the menu reappears. It seems to appear/disappear without any javascript errors. Hmm?

Hmmmm, just tried it with IE6 and it worked OK.
We have had problems before with postbacks when the menu is embeded inside a table. However, doing as slackbladder suggests should fix the problem.
Cheers,
Andy

If it works for you then it might just be my computer being retarded. That'll happen.
Thank you both for replying promptly; and hats-off to the milonic team, this is the best web-program I've ever ran.
Sincerely,
Chris

Just so you know (Andy/Chris) on MAC IE 5.2.2 the position of the menu is over to the left on every page (near the logo) - but as IE is no longer being supported by Microsoft most MAC users will be moving browsers (FF, Safari, etc).
Doing what I suggested above (screenposition) did work on both IE 5 and FF on MAC.
Cross-browsers = nightmare!

Actually, after re-reading my post, I realized that I forgot to include the event that raises the menu error. If you could look this over again, I'll try to be more descriptive:
To recreate the problem on my website (http://www.pawline.com): Using IE, search for "102" on the top left search box and click on "Find" link/button.
Once you have returned the results, click on the next page ("2") to scroll through the resultset. THAT is where the menu disappears on me.
See if anyone has the same problem I'm having (a disappearing menu act).

Hi,
I take it the Disc Blades, etc. at the top is the Milonic menu? If so, it is there on the first page of that search, and it scrolls down, and it is there on all the other pages I clicked through using the numbers at the bottom. I'm on IE5.5

Yes, the Disc Blades, etc was where I put my milonic menu at. If it worked for you, that makes me feel a lot better. Thanks for double-checking for me Ruth, it is appreciated.

I'm getting the same error

I have IE 6.0 and I get the same issue you described Chris.
In fact, I'm doing the same thing on a website I'm designing and am getting the same issue. I've tried a few things like moving the references inside the <body>, in the <head>, inside the <form> but no luck.
I tried in Firefox and it works nice.
I was wondering if this could be looked at again as an open issue.
Thanks!

Have you got a URL that we can see?
It helps us to be able to see the problem and the code
