Hi, running into some problems with my CSS Menu. Works great on my mac, but gets funky in Win IE 6.0.2. The drop down menu appears and then disappears. Unable to click on it to link to the page.
Your menus need a background color to work properly in IE and Opera,
this is unavoidable (afaik) and down to the difference in the way the
browsers work compared with Firefox and Safari.
I hope this helps.

Okay, I tried it on all my Master Pages and it still doesn’t work…
any other suggestions?
Is there something wrong with the way I created the CSS Menu?
The fix was for submenus not sticking in IE7 using vertical menus.
There’s no way to get round needing a background color on the menu
items in IE and Opera (afaik – if someone knows different then please
speak up :-)), it’s just the way they handle the CSS for the menus.

I’m sorry Joe - I had assumed that the latest Fix for 5.1.2 had
addressed that issue as well.
I’m having the same problem, but I’d really like to make this work. My site is here: www.johnbamber.com/new3 - my menus disappear when I move the mouse beyond the first submenu or so. I’m using one of the templates that came with freeway; I don’t know any CSS coding or anything like that, so I’m hoping this may be an easy fix. I tried adding the li { float: left; width: 100%; } as mentioned previously in this post, also tried adding background colors and that was unsuccessful. I’m testing it with the latest version of Safari, not sure if I’m doing anything else wrong. I’m getting quite frustrated…
Hi John,
The issue you are seeing is because the menu is on a layer behind the box that contains your name (name:title). When you move down a sub menu the cursor passes over the title layer and dismisses the menu. The solution is to turn on Show Items in the Site panel (use the gear icon in the lower left hand corner of the Freeway window) and move the menu item below the title item in the list. Layered items lower in this panel will display above other items in the list.
Regards,
Tim.

I can’t seem to reposition it… also there appears to be more than one of these. I thought this was supposed to be easy… lol.
Do I need to hold a key down in order to be able to move it? Also should I be moving it on the master page or the other ones?

Hi John,
Go to your master page and view the items in the site panel then drag the menu item below the title item in the view. This should re-stack the items with the menu above the title and the sub menus should work again. If you can see duplicate items in your page when looking at the site panel then it’s a good idea to eliminate the duplicates as they certainly aren’t needed.

Tim.

Am I doing something wrong?
