Hey you guys!
I've created a site featuring a navigation with double dropdowns (http://www.cube-interactive.com/clients/hbe/index.htm). It works fine in every browser, INCLUDING IE, except for one particular dropdown that doesn't show in IE.
If you go to Security Systems > Manufacturers, you should see three links when you mouse-over Manufacturers. In Safari and Firefox, this dropdown shows fine but not in IE. This is strange because the other secondary dropdowns DO show in IE. Just not this one.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
Chris

Not sure if it'll help or not, but if you haven't seen it yet, you might want to check this article out: http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns
There is a section or two in it dealing with adding some IE specific code to make the whole thing work. Maybe some application of it could help with that final dropdown.

Thanks! I have seen this and actually used it to create my double dropdowns. They all work except for the one I outlined in the initial post. That's the strange thing.

i haven't had time to properly check it and fix it but the width of your second level list is too narrow -
change:
#nav li ul { /* second-level lists */
position: absolute;
width: 100px;
...
to#nav li ul { /* second-level lists */
position: absolute;
width: 110px;
and it should work
p.s. line-height is spelt wrong in your style sheet

I'm indeed alive! LOL!
I've been burried under a big project that, mercifully, is launching next week (not the one I posted about). Add to that the fact that we also moved to a new place and PHEW!!!! No time for anything!
But after the site launch, I should be around a bit more often! ;-)

You haven't gotten us all riled up in a while. I miss your long rambling posts/threads.

I have to admit I don't normally read them, but I still miss them. When I do get a solid hour to commit to them, I do read them when I get a chance. :P
