Hello,

Im using the menu on this site http://www.wineaccommodation.com . Now the menu works find in Firefox and in Internet Explorer. But when you browse the menu in Internet Explorer, it blinks for a second the punter when you change from bottom menu (for miniseconds you find next to the pointer the sand clock, it blinks twice and then is over).

I really want to know why it do this in Interrnet Explorer and not in Firefox. Is because the menu is too long?. The menu tree is in each page instead of being in a separate js.

Any solution?

Regards.

Petaco.

Update your menu code to the current version first - v5.807. Let us know how it goes.

Hi,

The "Hour Glass" that I see is caused by a bug in Internet Explorer 6.0 - This happens whenever you change or hover over an object that has a background image.

If you really do need to remove this Hour Glass you will need to remove the background images from your menu items. There isn't very much we can do about his bug it does it with anything that contains a CSS backgound-image.

It's fixed for IE7 and IE8 though - IE6 (with any luck) will be dead soon and nothing to worry about.
