Strange menu behavior in IE 5.0, Mozilla 0.60 to 0.90, etc.

While testing my site, I have noticed that my menus is behaving very strangely in a couple of older browsers. Below are the browsers and the effect:

Internet Explorer 5: Menu causes background flicker on the top of the page.

Mozilla 0.60 - 0.90: Various issues. Older versions, buttons on the menu turn to a solid color after a single mouse-over. Newer versions, buttons vanish causing the menu to compress if they are moused over too quickly.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there isn't any way we can test anything that old and out of date. As far as I know, no one here has any of those browsers. The oldest I have is IE5.5 which has no problems.

I tried to do some research about 0.60 to 0.90 and all I got was some articles on 24,000+ bugs and counting and changing the release dates shifting them farther from the planned date.

Since you're using images, you could try the preloadimages.js module. The first one on the page.

Not sure if setting the offbgcolor and onbgcolor to offbgcolor=""; onbgcolor=""; would help. It might and you could try that. Since you need the colors for the submenus. You'd need to create a style for the subs, but that is really easy using copyOf. Your subStyle would be as follows and you'd put this just below the closing } of the menuStyle



Then you'd change the style in the submenus to style=subStyle;

With that copyOf the subs will use the menuStyle except where you have the offbgcolor=""; and then it will use the ones in that copyOf method.

That's all I can suggest. If you have a pro license you could submit a support request, but I don't know that Milonic has those browsers either.
