More IE problems

mojo67 · #1 (**permalink**) Oct 6th, 2006, 12:41

I have my dropdown menu working, in Firefox and Opera at least. In IE the submenus do not drop down/pop out.

I have followed (i think) the instructions in the sticky tutorial regarding this problem.
I downloaded the csshover.htc file
I have the
body{
behaviour: url(csshover.htc);
}
code in a file called ieonly.css, and
I have the following code in the html <head> tags (although I'm not sure where exactly it should go: before or after the link to the main stylesheet)


Have I missed something out?

The css file is here http://www.footballscotland.hazlenet.net/dropdown.css

The webpage is here http://www.footballscotland.hazlenet.net/dropdown.htm

The only heading that has all the menu levels is "Teams"
The colours are temporary. They helped me keep track of the different menu
levels when I was building it.

Thanks

behaviour: url(csshover.htc is incorrect. Did that just get chopped off here or is that how it is actually written?

Should be: behavior:url("csshover.htc");

It did actually have the bracket and semi-colon in the file - I had chopped it off in the post. I added the " " round csshover.htc, but it didn't make any difference

This is what you should have. Note the spelling.

Code: Select all

body {
     behavior: url(csshover.htc);
}

Quotes are not required.

BTW. Both your links pull up the css file.

If its the same one I use the file may actually be named incorrectly which is how it comes. You may want to check that too. Just dawned on me.

Thanks
Changing the spelling of "behaviour" to "behavior" did the trick.....almost. The only bit that doesn't work is the colour does not change when the menu items are hovered over. Any idea how to fix this.

The htm link in my original post is now fixed.

Your css is totally over the top and with out looking too deep I suspect there are conflicts.

Go back and have another look at the tutorial. The css is a lot simpler than what you have.

I have cleaned up the css a bit. Hope it's a bit clearer now. If there is anything else I can do to it please let me know. Doing this cleared up another problem I had, but I still can't get the menus to change on hover in IE.

Any help is much appreciated

The reason it doesn't work in IE is because this code in your ieonly.css file is wrong. This is not where your file is located.

Code: Select all

body{
  behavior: url(../../csshover.htc);
  }

Get rid of the 6 characters in bold before the 'csshover.htc'.

Noticed in your css file:

Code: Select all

font-family: "microsoft sans serif"; verdana, arial, sans-serif;

The ; after "microsoft sans serif" should be a ,

Thanks for your help Geoff. I've made those changes, but the colours still do not change in IE. It's not a huge problem as the drop downs work in IE it's just the colour changing that is the problem
