Just so you know, my IE won't do your top menu either!

I'm probably going to be shot down for saying this but this would be my solution:
1) Test whether or not the user is using IE (test for document.all or something!)
2) If the user is using IE, disable the minimization animation and just make it disappear

OR

2) If the user is using IE, create a timeout whenever said animation is activated. After a few milliseconds, end the animation.

None of these options is idyllic, however. Sorry, this is about as much as I can think of!

Hi, I checked in IE its look to be working good. What is the version of IE you are using? I viewed it in IE6. But header menu seems to be misaligned. For that Jerk problem. Just check for this two things

1) Just check for the Div or table width associated with the Toggle Element. If the width gets increased or decreased if we hide that element. The Jerk effect will come.
2) Check the Doc type you have used. If you are not sure about the doc type give "transition al" or "loose" and check it out.

Hi,
For the Class in CSS "#nav li.top", or all the <li> in the header has the display "block". Please change it to "inline". Hope it will fix the issue.

Yeh Thanks it fixed now but i can not manage the indentation of text.
I mean when i a drop down menu is open. there come links
1. Menu
2. Photos | Plugins
............... ....etc
They are indent 15 pixels from left in IE by using property text-indent:15px but this property is not working in Firefox Mozilla. Is there any other way or there is a problem in syntaxt. Here is my new updated CSS

.preload1 {background: url(../images/img-04.png);}
.preload2 {background: url(../images/img-04.png);}
#nav {padding:0; margin:0; list-style:none; height:53px; background:url(../images/img-03.png) repeat-x; position:relative; z-index:500; font-family:arial; }

Hi Neovantage,
For that particular class... instead of this "text-indent:15px" use "margin-left:15px". Hope this will solve your problem.

Thanks and Regards

Greattttttttttt ...........
Thanks a lot . It works. Awsome . Thanks again.

[RamananKalirajan]

Do you know why margin-left works.. where text-indent is not working. Text-indent is used to indent the text in a <p> or <div> or <span>. It will not be working in all the browser as same as expected. But margin-left will work in all the browser. Keep Moving Forward....


Thanks and Regards
