CSS Menus in IE7

I know this problem has been raised before, but I have searched the forum and can’t find a satisfactory solution.

I have just uploaded this site for a client:

It is constructed using the ‘box model’ and has a CSS Menu. Everything works fine in Safari, Firefox and Chrome on the Mac/PC, but the CSS fly out menus don’t work in IE7. I have tried adding this line of code “Before ”:

li { float: left; width: 100%; }

and adding a background to the menu, and changing the IE Compatibility settings, all to no avail. I have read a suggestion about changing the layer order, but I can’t work out how to do this.

Is there a workaround for this problem with IE7?

I have tried adding this line of code…

Try targeting the ul instead of the li. The div the list is in is what will be 100% width, if that’s what you are trying to achieve.

I worked out that the problem was using the ‘box model’. The CSS menu was placed in a HTML item within another item and this meant I couldn’t alter the layer stacking order, so in IE7 the pop out menu was behind other elements. I have now rebuilt the site making sure the menu is at the top of the stacking order, and everything seems to work ok.

General feedback on the site greatly appreciated.

I want a new car… :slight_smile:

Seriously though, I love this site, a great example of yet another
professional site made in Freeway, this time with full CSS layout that
increases/decreases in size perfectly.

Good job!

Joe,
Thanks for the compliment. Unfortunately I can’t help with the new car - no freebies with this client.
