Please check out the following link:

http://www.diamondcase.com/Cabinet_HTML/Credenzas.HTML

Under the menu option "Furniture Lines" four drop down options should pop-up and they do in Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. When viewed in IE the menu bar shows up and the animation even looks like it is highlighting the menu item but none of the drop down options show up.

How can we fix?

Hello,

You don't have a doctype declaration on your page. The extension requires a valid doctype declaration in order to function correctly. Please add this at the top of your page: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Regards,

Andrei,

I actually did have the following doctype declared on each of the pages I'm having trouble with:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

I even tried changing the doctype to what you specified which the only difference I could see was "Transitional" versus "Strict". It still does not work.

The menu does work properly in Chrome, Safari, and Firefox as I mentioned. It shows up in IE but no drop downs, no clicking, no operation.

What next? Thanks.

Hello again Steve,

The doctype declaration should be the very first thing in an HTML document, before the <html> tag.That's why I thought you don't have one at all.

Having the same problem. Just bought the developer edition today. Created a test menu http;//www.washoecourts.com/index4.cfm.

Works great in Chrome, Firefox... but not in IE7 or IE8.

I have the DOCTYPE information as the first entry in the page but no luck.

Hello,

The DOCTYPE declaration needs to be the first line on the page. At the moment you have two "<br />" tags above it. Remove them and the menu should work.

I was the first poster here and I actually did move the location and the DOCTYPE and it actually worked. I was skeptical but it worked and amazingly fixed a couple of other things with IE. Strange how the location of one simple line changes so much. The location didn't matter for Safari / Firefox but definitely did for IE.

The menus still do not appear on an iPad however. It would be nice to have a fix for that built into the program.

Those <br /> tags don't appear in dreamweaver or notepad and the !doctype tag is on line 1. When I view the source in a browser, they appear?

Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.

Found them. They were part of my application.cfc file which is included each time a page is run to set session variable.

Problem solved.

Thanks.
