Unwanted Drop Shadow

Post by Maso »

I'm using the plain text vertical menu (style changed completely) and I've got everything exactly how I want it except...in I.E 'Whatever Number Vista Uses' I'm getting a drop shadow on the first level on the menu that is not present anywhere else...nor wanted.

This is what I have in my styles:

Code: Select all

with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){
bordercolor="#ffffff";
borderstyle="solid";
borderwidth=1;
fontfamily="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial";
fontsize="60%";
fontstyle="normal";
headerbgcolor="#000000";
headercolor="#000000";
offbgcolor="#ffffff";
offcolor="#000000";
onbgcolor="#F2F1B3";
oncolor="#341B1B";
outfilter="randomdissolve(duration=0.3)";
padding=1;
pagebgcolor="#ffffff";
pagecolor="black";
separatorcolor="#ffffff";
separatorsize=1;
subimagepadding=2;
}
I removed this line (because it has the word 'shadow' in it, though I really haven't a clue what it does...removing it made no difference at all):

Code: Select all

overfilter="Fade(duration=0.2);Alpha(opacity=90);Shadow(color=#777777', Direction=135, Strength=5)";

Not at all sure what you mean by, "in I.E 'Whatever Number Vista Uses'". However, I'm not seeing a shadow in IE7. You might also remove the outfilter= line.

I'm not seeing a drop shadow in IE6, either. Once you removed the overfilter statement did you refresh? Is the old page cached, perhaps?

If you want info on the overfilter/outfilter try this interactive demo. These filters and transitions only work in Internet Explorer, what you see will not show in other browsers. http://support.milonic.com/demos/filters/index.htm
