Hi Matt,

I'm not sure I would have picked the IBuySpy Skin as a starting point, but in any case the menu css is in the stylemenu.css file in the skin folder. Make sure you work first in Firefox, don't design using IE, get it right in FF first then override things as needed to fix any IE funkiness using the IESpecific.css and IE7Specific.css files. If you are making a change in stylemenu.css and are using IE you may not see any change because the setting in the IE specific file is overriding the main style.

The css files are organised in a modular fashion to make it easier to find things. Most of the css class names are the same in all skins and just their values are different. style.css includes the other files, things that affect layout, ie height width margins positioning are in stylelayout.css, font styling is in styletext.css, colors are in stylecolors.css, background images are set in styleimages.css, its really straightforward actually and allows you to change colors without changing layout or layout without changing colors etc. Some feature specific css files are only loaded as needed to keep the page lighter weight. styletreeview.css for example is only included if you are using the treeview menu.

See the documentation here:

Hope it helps,

Well, I guess it may be the best example we have right now of horizontal with dynamic child menus, its just so old school and ugly. Its on my to do list to implement a new skin with a better example for horizontal menu with dynamic sub menus.

Of the horizntal ones we have I like the tabbed ones but they don't have the dynamic chid menus instead they use a treeview vertical sub menu and limit the top horizontal menu to one level.

Best,

Joe

Hi Matt,

For IE 6 you would definitely make your tweaks in the IESpecific.css file. IE6 is such a pain, the box model is different in IE6 than IE7 so it does require different settings in many cases.

To be honest I don't worry too much about IE 6 in my own projects unless the customer specifies it as a requirement. Since MS pushed down IE 7 in windows update I find the number of visitors using IE 6 is very small in my logs. The only way I can test with IE 6 is with a virtual machine that has automatic updates disabled. I haven't fired it up and looked at your site so I haven't really seen the problem but I know its generally trial and error for me to get IE 6 to behave.

Hope you get it working as you would like. I'll try to do a better skin with horizontal menu in the next few weeks and will be sure to test in IE6.

Best,

Joe
