Submenu offset problem

Hey folks

My submenus are not showing where I need them to in IE (or Opera, for that matter), but look fine in Firefox and Mozilla. The place I need the menu is within several levels of <div's, so I'm sure that's what's causing this. I tried moving the sub-menu definitions into a separate .js file, but that didn't help. Is there any way I can get the menu placement to override the <div's? Any help would be appreciated.

The site is internal, so I've attached two snapshots. The first is the working one on Firefox, second is on IE.

Hi,

I understand about internal sites and many don't want to post them, but what we need is a page.

If you can create a page without the content but with your layout and with the downloaded menu on it in the same place as you have yours we can figure the problem.

Without an html page, with it's css and the menu on it, there's not much we can do to figure out how to fix your issue.

Here's a static version of the page's HTML with everything but the gif's, milonic_src.js, and mmenudom.js

Hi,

I am not able to find a problem, but then again I had to create the submenus since I can't find them any place. I downloaded the page, but I had to find the menu_data file and the other js files and download them separately, but none of them had submenus in them. The data file only has style in it.

Using the subs I created they open the same in FF and in IE. Is there some way I can get your submenus so I can see if there's something in them that is causing that?

Hi Ruth

Sorry about that. I had some file permissions wrong. Try it now and you'll see what I'm seeing.

Hi,

OK, I take it that it's the twikiguest which is the submenu file. There is no drawMenus(); at the end of those submenus, when I put that in the file, then the submenus showed correctly in IE.

When you place a main menu in a table cell it needs a drawMenus(); with it as you have done on the page, but you also need to keep the drawMenus(); with the submenu files. Each needs its own drawMenus(); since each file is read separately

Wow, thanks! That took care of the problem
