Hi,
I am using superfish in a Joomla template, and it works fine in all
browsers including IE6 and IE8, not in IE7 however. I do not have any
positioned elements, its just that it seems as if the containing li's,
have overflow:hidden, which they don't have. I can see that it works
in IE7 because I have applied small negative margins, so a small piece
of the dropdown actually appears inside the containing <li>
I would provide you with a link, however I prefer to do so privately
if needed.
My code:
<div id="menu">
<ul class="menu sf-menu sf-js-enabled sf-shadow">
<li class="parent item10">
<a class="sf-with-ul" href="/nwg/index.php?
option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=7&Itemid=10">
<span>Visie</span>
<span class="sf-sub-indicator"> ยป</span>
</a>
<ul style="display: none; visibility: hidden;">
<li class="item19">
<a href="/nwg/index.php?
option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=8&Itemid=19">
<span>Strategie</span>
</a>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
</div>
CSS:
#menu ul {
list-style-type: none;
padding-left:15px;
}
#menu li {
display:block;
float:left;
padding:2px 0;
height:23px;
}
/* Opacity, exclude IE6 */
html>body #menu ul li {
filter:alpha(opacity=70);
opacity: 0.7;
}
/* Firefox children inherit transparency, IE children don't */
html>body #menu ul li li, x:-moz-any-link {
filter:alpha(opacity=100);
opacity: 1;
}
html>body #menu ul li#current li {
filter:alpha(opacity=70);
opacity: 0.7;
}
#menu li#current {
filter:alpha(opacity=100);
opacity:1;
font-weight:bold;
}
#menu ul li ul {
width:150px;
}
#menu ul li li {
padding-left:10px;
}
/* This output is overriden for all except IE6 */
#menu ul li li {
width:150px;
}
html>body #menu ul li li {
width:inherit;
}
/* IE6 Hack */
#menu ul li { width:42px; }
html>body #menu ul li {
width:auto;
}
html>body .separator {
margin-right:13px;
}
#menu ul li ul {
padding: 0;
margin-top: -10px;
margin-left: -17px;
}
#menu a {
text-decoration:none;
color: white;
font-size:10pt;
}
span.separator {
display:block;
margin-top:-2px;
margin-left:18px;
height: 27px;
border-left:1px solid white;
}
Last but not least, Superfish CSS: (I have only disabled two padding
styles)
