Menu won't clear in Internet Explorer 8 (IE8)

Post by eshaw »

In IE8 the menu items will not completely clear out after the mouse is moved out of the menu. After the mouse moves out of the menu any words in the menu stay on the page, the background disappears. While the menu words are still on the page they will activate the menu if the mouse goes back over them.

When I toggle the "Compatibility View" to have IE8 render the page as if it is IE7 the menu works just fine.

I am using the newest menu version - 5.818

I am having the same problem here. IE8 is now official so time to figure this out.

This may take a while, since IE8 is brand new (and still basically in 'shakedown'). Neither Ruth nor I have it yet, and I'm not sure about Andy. Meanwhile, as suggested by M$, Compatibility View is the way to go

Hi,

Everything looks fine in IE8 from here.

Can you please confirm that you are using the full release of IE8 and not a Beta or Pre-Release version.

My middle menu drops down and it leaves a line (see attchaments) in IE8.

In the first tab, there isn't a line unless I mouse over Hanger Management in the Dropdown. Then it leaves another line.

Are there any more updates to this question?

Hi,

It isn't possible to figure out what is causing the problem from a picture. We really need a page so we can see the issue and test various things to find out what is causing it. Also, the newest version of the menu is 5.825 with a pre-release for 5.826
