My problem is once i create a 3rd submenu, ie6 & ie7 makes the visiblily of the menus buggy on rollover. If you move the mouse quickly and accuratly over all areas of the submenus you will see them appear, but once getting to the final submenu all the others disapear. If this doesn't happen, then the submenus will appear and quickly dissapear instead not letting the user dig down the menus at all. Has anyone encountered this or have a solution? Thanks

Hi,

We need a page with the menu on it showing what is happening. We can't figure out a problem just from a description since it could be any number of things, some of them not menu related that cause the issue.

I fixed the problem. It seems it was because I had the menu being absolutly positioned inside a div. ONce i got rid of that it worked. I just used the interal menu positioning code to get the menu to lay were it needed to.

Thanks for the prompt response though.

Hi,

If you are trying to actually put the menu in a div you have to use position="relative"; It's the same method as placing it in a table. Info on that is in a sticky at the top of this support forum, a post on positioning it in a table/div.

If you want to use the absolute position, you can, just don't put the call for the files in the div. Put them in the head or first thing after the body tag.
