Hi Lee,

Trying to isolate a behavior in the subMenu skinning.
Since IE7 and DNN n4.5.5 upgrade, my subMenu drops about 40 pics below the main menu when a main menu item is moused over. This causes a jiggle in the entire menu.

This only occurs when you are not logged in as host or admin. I would assume this is because these two users have visual availabilty to the control panel.

I have been trying to isolate the offending code in web developer toolbar. But, the issue does not occur in FireFox.

I have similar menu code in several websites. All menus worked well in all browsers until the DNN 4.5.5 upgrade.

Any ideas where to start looking?

Hover over the Ask an Agent tab to see the issue.

TIA

/*.MainMenu_MenuArrow{ display:none; }*/
.MainMenu_MenuItem,.submenuitembreadcrumb{
 color:#484848; font-size:11px; font-weight:normal;
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;
 padding: 2px 10px 3px 5px;

Hello,

I've just had a quick look at all of the CSS code using the web developer toolbar and nothing stands out.  I would approach this by taking a copy of your skin, rename it, and then remove all of the CSS code for the SolpartMenu, install this version and see if the problem still occurs in IE7.

If the problem still occurs remove other elements of your CSS code until the problem disappears.

Once the problem disappears add elements of the CSS code that you have deleted until the problem reappears, you have then found the offending code. - This is the method that I use in the troubleshooting tutorial, but I can do this live with the web developer toolbar. - On this occasion you'll have to upload each change with your new copied skin.

It's worth watching: Troubleshooting DotNetNuke Skins

OK, so i have the same problem and here is what I found: 

   1. I commented out the menu styles and the problem persisted
   2. I commented out the styles that were overriding default.css, the problem persisted, so
   3. I commented out my page styles and the problem went away.

Great so somewhere in here was the problem line(s).  after much commenting, uncommenting i finally found the problem.  I have a div that wraps around all of the content which I use to center the content and set background styles for the content area of the site, somewhat common I imagine.  I have a style like this:

.ContentWrapper { width: 800px; background: white;}

If I remove the width setting everything is fine.  As soon as I constrain the width of the content wrapper the problem returns.    My first thought is something is bigger than the 800px so let me remove it.  Can't find a darn thing that should be spilling outside of that setting, however when i define other widths i just set them to 100%.  I want the tables, divs etc to fill the content areas so I set them this way. 

All that to say, I know that forcing the width causes the problem to occur, but I don't know why!  Any suggestions would be great.  Hopefully this will help find the cause of this problem. 

Just to rehash the problem:

IE7 with a DNN Site 4.5.x or above when not signed in, the page jumps around when you mouse over a main menu item that has a submenu.
