MenuMaker and IE7.. not working

[sunriseal]

I have web site, http://www.sunrisedoors.com, that was working just fine in IE6 but since I installed IE7 this morning the drop down menus are BLANK...

Would appreciate someone checking out the site and letting me know if you encounter the same problem.

And any suggestions as to a resolution would be GREATLY appreciated!

They work fine in Firefox 1.5. My guess is that Micro$haft has some nonstandard implementation (surprise! surprise!). Perhaps the powers that be at Xara will want to see to that if my hunch is correct.

Using IE7 here and the drop-down menus are blank, but they do drop down and continue in succession.

Yes Alan, they work fine in IE6 and FF....

Suprise, surprise for sure!!!

Have opened a ticket with support, but no response as yet....
One would think that XARA has already tested their products with IE7....

Thank you for the response!

I hear that a lot of commercial sites optimized for EI6 are not going to work so well with EI7 because Micro$haft is dropping some of its nonstandard quirks.

Micro$haft is dropping

nice one Alan "micro$haft droppings LTD"

Now to get back on topic: I think it's possible to make the menues work for internet explorer, since when I create a menu it works for me in iexplorer 6 and 7, so I guess there is some catch there. Maybe just make a different menu and see how it goes? I will try to figure something out later.

I went back into FP 2003 and it is throwing a script error fit with the code that MenuMaker is generating... perhaps that is the starting point?

If you would like to see the code being generated, let me know...

I agree with you, but my problem is directly related to MenuMaker, a commercial product that one would have hoped would have been vetted during the IE7 testing ... by Xara....

I have another problem I'm hoping some one can help me with.

I'm designing a site. The menu from menu maker is working perfectly, in every browser I can find to try it in EXCEPT IE7. At first I could not see the text on the submenus, but a trip to the Menu Maker site resulted in my removing the italics property of the text on the horizontal flyouts. Now I can see the text, BUT there is a small gap between the first sub-menu and its sub-menu. When you move the mouse cursor across this gap the second flyout closes and the menu item is not selected. On all the other browsers, this gap does not exist and the sub-sub-menu works.

Does anyone have any suggestions how I can get it to work in IE7 (I don't have any earlier versions to try it on - Microsoft "upgraded" IE 6 to 7!!!)?

Thank you
