Not suitable for IE7 - drop down menus fail (4 posts)

    I have been trying to use the carrington theme in a blog with lots of child pages. It looks great until you open it in IE7, then the drop down menus drop down and stay down. They will sometimes clear if you mouse out of the top of the menu but otherwise you end up with a series of overlapping menus.

    Here's a fix that worked for me:

    Within the carrington-blog theme directory, I edited the file css/ie.css this way:

    How it was, before the changes:

    /* IE doesn't comprehend the short-notation override */
    #navigation ul,
    #all-categories ul {list-style-image: none;}

    How it is right now, after the changes, where it works for me:

    /* IE doesn't comprehend the short-notation override */
    #navigation ul,
    #all-categories ul {list-style-image: none;}
    #navigation li:hover {position: static;}
    #all-categories li:hover {position: static;}

    The "navigation" line applies to the main menu behaviour, and the "all-categories" line applies to the categories menu behaviour.

    Hope it helps!

    This should be fixed as of version 1.3.
