IE 6 and doctype xhtml1-strict
Poster: peter __at__ didm.co.uk

Hi,
With the doctype set to
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
When viewing using Firefox the milonic menu is correctly positioned. However when viewing using IE 6 the menu does not position correctly:
1. The main menu appears to be positioned relative rather then absolute
2. The sub-menus are offset to the right by a considerable amount
Help please
Is this a known problem?
How can I overcome the problem?

Hi,
Without a link to the page to see what's going on I can't help. This is the first report of this issue I've seen on the forum.

Hi Ruth,
I have found out what the problem is. It is in my css ( which is not referenced in my milonic data file). I have:
body {
width:780px;
padding:0px 0px 0px 0px;
margin: 0px auto 0px auto;
background-color:white;
color: black;
position:relative;
font-family:arial, verdana, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
text-align: center;
}
Its in the position:relative; if I remove position:relative; or change it to position:absolute; the problem goes away.
Is there a way of overcoming the problem or do have have to completely redesign my css
Regards
Peter

Hi,
I'm sorry, but I'm a hands on fixer. I don't really know the ins and outs of css and how various coding interacts, so without the page and related things like menu and css file to experiment I don't know the answer.
