Ok, I am a very big time Newbie to all of this and cannot seem to make a CSS Horizontal dropdown work with Internet Explorer 7.0 on my site:

Everything seems to work just fine in Firefox.

Thanks for any insight on this matter.

Here is a copy/paste of my copied and pasted css sheet.

/* CSS Menus - Horizontal CSS Menu with Dropdown */

ul#navlist { font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;}

ul#navlist a
{
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;
}

ul#navlist, ul#navlist ul, ul#navlist li
{
margin: 0px;
padding: 0px;
list-style-type: none;
}

ul#navlist li { float: left; }

ul#navlist li a
{
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #2F4F4F;
padding: 3px;
border: 1px #ffffff outset;
}

ul#navlist li a:hover
{
color: #ffff00;
background-color: #003366;
}

ul#navlist li a:active
{
color: #cccccc;
background-color: #003366;
border: 1px #ffffff inset;
}

ul#subnavlist { display: none; }
ul#subnavlist li { float: none; }

ul#subnavlist li a
{
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}

ul#navlist li:hover ul#subnavlist
{
display: block;
position: absolute;
font-size: 10pt;
padding-top: 5px;
}

ul#navlist li:hover ul#subnavlist li a
{
display: block;

border: none;
padding: 2px;
}



Thanks for any sage advice you could assist me with.
Have a great day.

Yes, you are so correct.

But the site will not allow me to do this until I make 15 posts or more.

"Harummph"

The following errors occurred when this message was submitted.

The entire CSS based Horizontal Dropdown List does not seem to work worth a damn in Internet Explorer, no matter what recent version.

It seems that in order for the CSS to work I have to find what Conditional Statement (Microsoft Speak) is needed.

There is also a ton of information on the Internet about CSS Filters (also know as CSS Hacks) to work around Internet Explorer limitations.

I have posted at MSDN (Microsoft Developer Network)forum in the Internet Explorer page and so far there have been 65 views but no response.



I also emailed Microsoft technical support and all I got was a "canned response".

I have also posted to several forums about web design and am hopeful of solution sometime soon.

Meanwhile to view my site in its entirety with the links working, try using the Firefox browser.

Thanks for any sage advice you could port my way.
