Graphic based menu behaving different in Firefox vs IE6
I built up a graphics based menu, the main menu contains just 1 topic (gif graphic, transparent and 770pxby110px. containing the word "Willkommen"=Welcome (German) and image/overimage in red. Onclick there is one submenu activated, containing 44 small images in grey colors, in an array of 4 rows and 11 columns, behind the main menu. The submenu works fine. But with the main menu there is a problem, as follows: When moving the mouse pointer from left to right , after about one third of the image, the mouse pointer turns into a standard mouse pointer and the funcionality of the menu fails from this point to the right margin, deactivated on approx. 2/3rd of the image!!!. This is only, when the site is opened using IE6.01. But everything works fine, when I am using Mozilla Firefox!!
The URL is http://www.dhyg.de/ it is the first page which comes up.
The page itself uses two main menus, on top a text based menu. Both menus /their submenus in general are calling files which are displayed in an IFRAME . Has anybody ever observed a similar problem I reported above?? And solved it ?

SOLVED the problem for the moment, converted the main menu into a text based menu. javascript:emoticon(';)')

Hi,

I did find a fix but I don't know what the problem is so I'll have to wait for a reply from Milonic.

Something in the style sheet is causing the problem. It took me awhile to find it because I had to remove multiple lines, but whatever is doing it is in the BODY and all the a: link css. If you remove all those then there's no problem. I tried just removing the BODY, still a problem, tried just removing the links part, still a problem. Only when I removed both together did it fix the problem.

CSS etc.

Hi -
thank You for spending time for this, so I might - with "try and error" find a way to make use of graphics instead of the text menu.
I am really impressed by Your fast reaction on my request for support !!!
Thanks again !

Hi,

Yes, you can. You can also use a combination of css and the menu. Here's a very very basic css styled menu sample
