I've got an issue that is stumping me. I was given a design and some
javascript for the drop down menus. When I first put together a template
based on it, it was fine. Then as I started adding content, I noticed
that the lists in the main content area were really screwed. I
investigated and found out that the reason was the the drop down menus
were being created/styled using ul/li's and that the styles were being
applied to the global ul/li's. No problem, the lists for the top and
bottom menus were in their own div's, so I figured that I would just
take the existing css rules and make them only apply to lists in those
particular divs.
All seemed well and good until I tried testing in IE. The menus work
fine in Firefox/Mozilla under both Linux and WinXP, but there is no
drop-down in IE. I've looked over the html, css and js, but nothing
appears to be wrong. It validates as xhtml and there are no JS errors
showing up in the Firefox javascript console. IE does throw a script
error but its not terribly useful, just explaining that there is a parse
error on line 2 (which is the html declaration).
I put up a page of the design at: http://wiredotter.com/sites/index.html
Any clue as to what's going on?
Thanks,
Judah
