It works in IE7 and IE8 but not IE6. If it’s not working in IE8 you are running a beta version.

The problem with pseudo classes only affects Internet Explorer 6 and earlier builds. It has no effect on Internet Explorer 7 and later builds.

The CSS sample displays perfectly for me in IE8. Not sure what the reference above to problems with pseudo class in IE8 is all about. I am probably going to implement this method for some clients with old sites that use javascript drop downs (written by others) which are no longer working in IE8.

Thanks.

@R-A Mazzola and others: The reason I haven’t posted the promised tutorial on how to make the drop-down appear on top of other content is that I am in the middle of revising my book which is to be released shortly. On top of that I also have a bunch of client projects that are taking up pretty much all my time.

Getting the menu to appear on top of other content is not particularly hard, you just have to know how to. Basically you create a div for the header and place the menu div inside this one. Then you set the menu div to absolute positioning and set the bottom to 0 so it locks against the bottom of the header div. That’s really all there is to it.

There is a full explanation of exactly how this is done in my book Sams Teach Yourself Microsoft Expression Web 2 in 24 Hours which is available from Amazon.com and in your local book store. There is a better tutorial in the new book for Expression Web 3 which will be out August/September-ish. Once the rewrite is complete and I’ve gotten some of the more pressing projects off my back I’ll finish the positioning tutorial and post it.

So, looks like some of these posts are months old and no response to date. Is this something that cant be answered? Is there a better resource that you can suggest so we can get the help we are looking for? Please respond!

Is there a way to make the drop down menus center in the web page left to right?

Howdy,

I am having the same problem! The menu shows great on a preview, but I am not sure how to get it onto the shared border of my site. HELP!

Can anyone answer this?

Thanks for your great article on creating a drop down menu in Expression Web. I created the “menu.html” file and it looks and works perfect, but I am stuck.

How do I get the “menu.html” navigation buttons to show up on my home page? I don’t get it?

Thanks.
