Drop-down menus: not quite there yet

Sent by Frances Allen on 9 August 2004 21:09


Hello all

I'm a CSS newbie trying to help a friend set up a website for her 
one-woman business.  After my first posting I was directed to Eric 
Meyer's splendidly presented More Eric Meyer on CSS (thanks Justin 
Belcher for pointing me towards Meyer) and I have hastily tried to 
swallow chapters 5 & 6 on list-based menus and css driven drop-down 
menus.  I'm suffering from an acute case of indigestion and panic!

Can someone please help me make my drop-down menus work?  I have put 
the files up on www.francesallen.com/ventura/eng/ and the style sheet 
is www.francesallen.com/ventura/css/newcss.css.  An example of my 
drop-down attempt is at 'About us'.

There are two main problems:

1  They don't work at all on IE (neither on my Mac or on IE/Win - I 
have to drive six miles into town every time I want to check on a PC 
....)

2  They sort of work on Safari and Netscape for Mac: that is, they 
appear if I click on a main link (not just hover) and then move the 
mouse fractionally

I somehow suspect the problem may lie in a conflict between the code 
for showing current page and that for the drop-down menus.  Also, I 
know I'm going round in circles trying to decide where to put 
information about colour etc .

Any help would be MOST appreciated

Frances
