I'm currently working on a PHP project, but got bored (:)), so I decided to spruce up the interface some. (You've seen it before at this thread (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=38382).) The problem I'm having right now is with CSS drop down menus (http://www.stunicholls.myby.co.uk/menus/dropdownfun.html), as described at Stu Nicholls' (http://www.stunicholls.myby.co.uk/) website.

The problem I'm having right now is with IE (of course :rolleyes:). The menus drop down correctly, but don't stay open when you move down to click something. You can view an example page using my layout (just ripped the output from a page) at http://jfy.homeunix.net/misc/example.html. (The main CSS is at http://jfy.homeunix.net/includes/stylesheets/normal.css and the drop down menu part is at http://jfy.homeunix.net/includes/stylesheets/collapsing_menus.css

There's also the fact that the first menu doesn't open unless you go all the way to the left, but that's a whole different story. There is a div (empty in that example page) which would cover it. I may have to change the z-index on the menu. Feel free to suggest on that, but I'll work on it. :rolleyes:

I also noticed that on Safari 2 (Tiger), there's a problem with the left option menu when scrolling down. It's under the bold "Users:" and the "Additional Stylesheets" captions on the left.

I've taken a screenshot and posted it at my site:
