I.E. issues with sub-category menu items

I.E. issues with sub-category menu items

On certain pages of my web site, sub-menus are not accessible. They are viewable, but they cannot be clicked.

For example:

On this page, contactus.php, when you mouse over Schools - Woodbury Predators, you can't click the Hockey link.

From this page, Support.php, when you mouse over Schools, the East Ridge sub-menu is visible, but we are unable to click any of the sub-menu links.

From this page, index2.php, the same thing happens with the East Ridge menu.

Occasionally, I am able to click the sub-menus, but not very often. Is there a z-index setting I should change somewhere?

If the reason you can't click the link is because the link disappears before you get a chance to click on it, then the reason (in IE) is because of the gap between level-1 items and level-2 items.

You can fix this by closing that gap by adjusting the 'left' rule in your menu.css file at line 146. Try changing:

ul#cssmw_home ul.level-2 {
left:170px;
padding-left:5px;
}

to:

ul#cssmw_home ul.level-2 {
left:165px;
padding-left:5px;
}

If the gap problem also occurs when you move the mouse betweedn level-0 and level-1, you would need to remove or reduce the 7px 'padding-top' value from around line 89:

ul#cssmw_home ul.level-1 {
left:0;
padding-top:7px; /*remove or reduce this value */
top:100%;
}

Thank you, Nielo. Worked like a charm! Seems there are issues with I.E.

It's quite a chore to think of things that IE doesn't have issues with. Still, IE9 is on the way . . .

Fingers crossed.
