I realize that there are a few articles on this subject; however I really cannot get my menus to work when displayed in IE 5.  The drop down control works fine with IE 5.5 and above.

When view in IE 5 the menu items show as ?Expand<item>Expand?.  Following on from other articles I have turned off the pop out images and set the PopOutImageFormatString to ? ?.  This removed the ?Expand? text from the output. The menu structure is set as follows -

<asp:Menu ID="mnuMainMenu" runat="server" DataSourceID="QualityMenu_SiteMapDataSource" Orientation="Horizontal" Width="584px" DynamicEnableDefaultPopOutImage="false" CssClass="QualityMenu" StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage="False" DynamicItemFormatString="&nbsp;{0}&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;" StaticItemFormatString="&nbsp;{0}" DynamicPopOutImageTextFormatString=" " StaticPopOutImageTextFormatString=" ">

<StaticMenuItemStyle BorderColor="#003366" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" CssClass="QualityMenu" />

<DynamicHoverStyle BackColor="Ivory" BorderColor="#D9D9FF" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" />

<DynamicMenuStyle BackColor="#D9D9E6" BorderColor="Gray" BorderStyle="Outset" BorderWidth="1px" />

<DynamicMenuItemStyle BorderColor="#D9D9E6" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" CssClass="QualitySubMenu" />

<StaticHoverStyle BorderColor="#D9D9FF" BorderStyle="Solid" BorderWidth="1px" />

</asp:Menu>

<asp:SiteMapDataSource ID="QualityMenu_SiteMapDataSource" runat="server" ShowStartingNode="False" SiteMapProvider="XmlQualitySiteMapProvider" />

This all works Ok in higher level browsers, however the menus do not display correctly at all on browser used by my users.  The style sheet appears to be being ignored and the menus do not function at all.  When the items are clicked on,  the page returns and the menu items are then not displayed at all.

Any help ? please.

Cheers

can you provide a link to a demo page...

can you post you css and code / html for page that holds the menu ?

Please look at this article on my blog:  http://weblogs.asp.net/dannychen/archive/2005/11/21/431121.aspx  it was written for Safari but also applies directly to IE5.

Danny,

Many thanks for your help.  I have now used the device filter solution;  however it really is limiting the way my menus appear and hence affects the overall screen look / feel.  I guess it will just have to do for now.  Such a shame as the menu control is pretty good on later browsers; unfortunately I cannot get my users to upgrade.

Is there any timescale for a patch or update being released for the menu control ?

Cheers

George
