I have a couple dropdown menus that are giving me issues in IE7. I've wasted the entire morning trying to fix it. The client is monitoring the site using IE7 so it's a top priority.
I've got a live demo and a jsfiddle demo set up. Here is the actual site I'm working on today as well just for reference, but the demos have the problems isolated. I left some of the reset css and such in case any of it is related.
There are 2 problems:
- Most Important: There are z-index issues with the top menu and the header content in IE7. The headings are above the dropdown.
- Less Important: There is a small gap in the top menu between the first link and the dropdown that sometimes causes the dropdown to disappear when moving the mouse to it from the top link. This occurs in at least Firefox 4 and IE 7. This issue doesn't occur in the bottom menu.
I removed javascript, tried removing any clearfix css, whittled down the css and html, switched from html5 to xhtml1 strict, played with the position and z-index properties, and read several articles here and elsewhere about z-index
bugs in IE but I still can't get this one to budge.
I don't care about IE6 support or if I have to use javascript, I just need to get it working in IE7 for the client. Any help is greatly appreciated.
