CSS Drop Down Menu IE6 Help!

Featured Replies

Hey,

 

First if all I would like to introduce myself as it is my first post! I am based in the UK studying computer networks at university and I am a part-time freelance web designer. This community looks very impressive and I think I will enjoy my stay here :)

 

Anyway onto my problem.

 

I am having some real trouble getting my drop down menu to work in IE6. I have done some research on-line and have not come up with anything that was able to help me, so I thought I would ask the experts!

 

So if you go to www.q23.co.uk and hover over the Services button in the menu you should be presented with a nice drop-down menu, in IE6 it makes a right mess of the website and shifts everything down while duplicating backgrounds and text! I dont know even where to start in trying to fix it :S

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you all!

have you attempted to use z-index? sorry, don't have access to ie6 right now so cannot help much more than that.

I have, set the drop down menu container to z-index:100; and 1 no difference :(

 

Ah and if anyone wants to test it, here is a link to a IE6 standalone http://browsers.evolt.org/?ie/32bit/standalone

 

Thank you for your reply!

Ok if there is no way around this, is there anyway in the HTML or PHP to check if the browser is < IE7 and then just not display troublesome drop down menu?

 

Thanks in advance :)

i'm sure there probably is a war around it (have a search on google for suckerfish dropdowns, maybe your answer will be there)

 

if you do want to hide it however use a conditional css:

 

<!--[if IE 6]>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/ie6.css" />
<![endif]-->
