Hello,

Just found this forum, so first of all forgive me if I'm asking something obvious here. I did a little research on this but couldn't come up with anything. I'm trying to get ready for IE7 so I downloaded it and am finding a minor problem with dropdown menus on some of my sites.

Also, in the interest of full disclosure, I don't know a whole lot about CSS or javascript. I design pages using Fireworks and Dreamweaver. Fireworks creates the HTML, Javascript and CSS for me on drop-down menus. Here are two pages I designed this way:

1) http://www.pmaonline.com

2) http://www.arthurpage.com

Check out the drop down menus on both. They work fine in IE6. In IE7, Example 1 still looks okay, but on #2, the subsections do not highlight in IE7 when you mouseover them. Is there an easy fix for this? I am a bit clueless on this, don't know if the problem is with the javascript, CSS, or what... I also thought I created these the same way, and yet one is working in IE7 and for some reason the other is not. Any help is much appreciated!!

Thank you,
Tim

Never mind, I figured it out already...I had defined some new CSS rules within the same stylesheet as the one that was describing the drop-down menus, that's what caused the problem. When I took those rules and put them into a new stylesheet, then linked that sheet to the site, the highlights on the drop-down menus came back.
