I need toknow what the fix is in DNN 360's Transmenu to get it to display in IE correctly.  It displays fine in Safari and Firefox, but in IE, it cuts of the sub navigation.  Please help me...i desperately need this to work and am getting nowhere on dnn360 forum.

Are you using a custom skin, or a standard one?

I would check to see if the problem occurs in a standard skin, other than installing that menu.

It doesn't work in a DNN skin as well.  but it works in my skin and a DNN skin in Firefox.

Hmmm. Since I'm not familiar with this product, the best that I can do is offer some troubleshooting tips, and it looks like you're doing all of the right things there. If you can't get help from the developer, maybe there is another menu that meets your needs?

Do they include an example skin with the menu which works in IE?

check out this example.  i have just dropped this module into a pane in a standard DNN skin.  it makes no sense.  if you visit their site however...this module works fine in IE, so somewhere a setting needs to be adjusted, but I cannot find out what.

here is their site example:

Yep. I'd guess that there is some style that controls this, and that you probably have to overwrite it. But, I've got no idea. Perhaps you can use the Web Developer's Toolbar in Firefox to get some understanding of how the styles control the menu. I very quickly discovered that the styling of the dropdown is affected by styles.css and transmenu.css. I think that nothing else affects the menu styling.

That, at least, narrows the places to look.

If I were approaching this I would strip out all of the code from the default.css and skins.css and then see if the menu displays correctly in IE, if it does you know that an element from your skin is clashing with the menu. - You can then add elements of the code back into the files until you find the problem code and then see if you can find a solution.

PS. Of course do this with a backup copy of the skin!

yeah, i have been looking in those places, but I am unable to figure out what would change that appearance in IE.  send me your email and I will attach the 2 style sheets.  Maybe I hae just ben staring at this thing too long that I can't the forest through the trees.

No need to send the style sheets. They can be seen using Web Developer's Toolbar. It's too bad that it doesn't work in IE, but you can still use it in FF to help understand how the menu interacts with styles.
