I have this problem, that only occers every now and then on my site in IE. On some computers, it will happen alot, on others, it works fine. I have no idea what is making it happen, and its driving me up the wall.
I would enter some code, but i have no idea where the problem lies, so I will just tell you what the problem happens to be.
On my site, I have a CSS menu system, and it works fine on my computer 100% of the time, on my laptop, it hardly works at all, and on other computers around the school(where I work) It works sometimes, but not other times.
The Problem being that when you try to get to the drop down menu it disappers before you can reach the dropdown. I know this is caused by a small gap, but why would it only happen on certain computers in IE. Its driving me bonkers.
The link to my site is Here (http://www.gslc.qld.edu.au/Newpage/GSLC(CSSMenu)/index.htm) and I kinda need to get this working ASAP, as the old site is... well... old.
Thank you for any help you guys can offer. And just so you know, it works fine in FF, Safari, and some Linux browers, its just IE, but whats new about that.

Heres some info I found. http://www.meyerweb.com/eric/css/edge/menus/demo.html
Note:"In other CSS-aware browsers, like Internet Explorer, you'll see the toplevel links, and they'll work just fine. The popout menus won't work, that's all"

I have a behavour change to make the pop outs work, and they do work, i found out whats making the problem, I have no idea why, or how to fix it.
Here (http://www.gslc.qld.edu.au/Newpage/1/GSLC(CSSMenu)/index.htm) is a link to a site that works.
And Here (http://www.gslc.qld.edu.au/Newpage/backup/GSLC(CSSMenu)/index.htm) is my first link again, that does not work.
Now, the ONLY difference between these 2 page is the following code.
//This is in the CSS of the one that works.
#menu h2 {
color: #000;
background: #fff;
border-width: 0px;
}
//This is in the CSS of the one that DOES NOT WORK!!!!
#menu h2 {
color: #000;
border-width: 0px;
}
Ok, Other then the above line, the files are a copy and paste. I make 2 folders, and changed that one line. I dont know why that kills it, but it is rather annoying.
If anyone has any idea why removing the background color should kill my menu system, please inform me, as I have no idea anymore.

I tried your site. The problem is the border around the menu choice is not part of the choice. (maybe make the border thinner).

Ok, but why does it work when it has a background color and not work without one. This is what I dont understand, and nothign I can do gets it to work without a background color. The color of the background should make no difference at all.

BTW its not borders, I have removed all borders, and it still does the same thing. First thing I tryed.
