Need a hand with CSS drop menu in IE

Hello all!

I have a pesky CSS drop down menu I'm trying to create, and it works perfectly in Firefox and (sigh) does not work in IE6. Would one of you CSS geniuses mind taking a look at it for me?

Check it out in Firefox first, Then IE. You'll see the issue.

Here it is:

Thanks a million!

You need to:

Read the css menu tutorial. A link to which can be found in the sticky at the top of the css forum.

Get in the habit of placing your JavaScript and CSS in seperate files that you then link into your pages.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

I usually do pu tmy css and scripts in different files but for ease of use while I'm trying to figure this out I have them all in one page....

Thanks again!

Nate

But still make it a habit of keep it in different files even at the time of debugging.

er...... just me?

Yeah, I actually took it down, because I'm starting over with the tutorial that Geoff gave me a link to....

Mandar and Geoff, Just curious, but why is it so important to keep the CSS and Javascript in a separate file? Like I said, I usually do, but not until after I have my styles done for a page...

Is there a big reason to not have it in the same file? Even when just setting the page up?

Thanks!

Editing a sep file is no more difficult then editing it in one file. Just a good idea imo to keep everything sep the way it should be from the get go, but that is me. I am a weirdo.

It's a good planning habit to get into then these files can just be linked into your pages.

Start be generating what is going to be your template for your pages. In this template place the links the bring in your JavaScript and css files. Keep in mind that there could well be more than one css file, e.g., a general one, an ieonly one, a print media one, and so forth. You might also produce on just for form styling and only incude it on the relevant pages.

This all help to keep the overall page size down and as browsers cache files, every file after the first one loads that much faster.

You don't make mistakes cutting and pasting from one file to another.

It's a lot easier to debug for example you might want to access your JavaScript and css files with specific programs.

Thanks guys!

I followed your tutorial on CSS Drop-Down menus and it it worked beautifully...

Here's the outcome fot the menu:

I added a little CSS transparency to spice it up a bit...

The table's only there to test the transparency.

Thanks again!

Might I suggest using a little bit less transparency? It's rather hard to read the link text now.
