I hope you can help me with this one.
I build my stuff on a Mac using OSX and FireFox/Safari... I'm afraid I dumped IE on the Mac platform...
Some people have told me that there are a couple of problems with the menu on Windows using IE. Specifically a blur... I've been able to get a screenshot from a Win machine running IE and I can see what they're talking about.
See the attached "blur.jpg" at the bottom of this post.
I've looked in my menu_data.js and as standard it comes with a "Shadow color value of #777777 in the Overfilter. (I've now changed this to the same color as the background: #CDEAF9
I'd appreciate it if someone could look at the menu in IE on a Windows machine - there must still be a few of you out there - and tell me what they see. And if they see any nasty give me a hint or two on how to solve it.
Oh, and are the submenus showing anything similar?
Thanks for any help you can offer me!
Below are the details you'll need.
