Question

CSS Drop Down

  • November 7, 2008

Hi All,

I'm coding a new custom template for a site I work with. The template is top.cfm

The issue I'm having is, as it appears to me, that (Crappy) IE will not display CSS drop down menus from .cfm pages.

I have two pages, one of them .html all drop downs work in IE & FF, the other page is the same code but .cfm extension and the drop down menus don't work in IE....?

The drop downs are pure CSS.

I'm very confused is there additional coding to make IE display CSS drop down menus?

Please help, it's been two days of troubleshooting and I'm not getting anywhere fast.

Thanks
David

    I just put the page into the root directory of our site and it worked:

    http://www.mygenie.tv/copy.cfm

    Now I have to work out why.

    i have copied your source code and created a new .cfm file and it
    displays just fine in IF6 and IE7 (and FF) - all menus work as desired
    all layout is intact.

    but viewing your linked test pages in IE - well, they are definitely
    broken...

    so... post the actual source of your .cfm page - there must be something
    in it that breaks the layout...

    Thanks for your help on this.

    The code you are seeing in the source is the actual code, that's t all.

    There's no CF code in there. Can you link to the page you created so I can test in in IE

    Hi,

    Here's the two pages I'm currently playing around with.

    I'm testing two CSS menus.

    http://www.mygenie.tv/public/test_top2.html (Works in IE)

    http://www.mygenie.tv/public/test_top2.cfm (Not Working)

    It can only be an error with my code.

    Thanks

    where's the code? where are links to sample pages?? please help us help you!

    per se, there is no difference in CSS in .htm or .cfm pages. If the CSS
    is exactly the same, it will be displayed exactly the same in the same
    browser whether it is a .htm or .cfm page. so if you have a problem, it
    is in your code...
