CSS Dropdown menu for the header- With Categories!

I've just installed this mod. Looks great.

Can someone explain why the .htaccess changes are needed for older version of IE?

Hi Guys.

This was the only thread I could find regarding the drop menu, so taking a chance and posting here.

I have installed the drop menu and it is excellent. Just what I wanted.
I have one issue which I hope somebody can help me with.

On my index page (Main_page), I am using the page as a 'gateway' page and have disabled both side columns, etc.

The drop menu doesnt appear, and I have just set up a page with Dreamweaver. It looks Ok for now, but when I look at the page source, it contains all the zen and drop menu coding. I have inserted part below.



<div id="dropMenuWrapper">
<div id="dropMenu">
<ul class="level1">

<li class="submenu"><a href="http://skiddaddle.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=102">BOOKS</a><ul class="level2"><li>
<a href="http://skiddaddle.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=104">Fiction</a></li><li>
<a href="http://skiddaddle.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=106">First Editions</a></li><li>
<a href="http://skiddaddle.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=105">Non Fiction</a></li></ul></li><li><a href="http://skiddaddle.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=92">CDS</a></li><li class="submenu"><a href="http://skiddaddle.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=97">DVDS</a><ul class="level2"><li>
<a href="http://skiddaddle.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=99">DVD</a></li><li>
<a href="http://skiddaddle.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=100">VHS</a></li></ul></li><li><a href="http://skiddaddle.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=107">Gift Vouchers</a></li><li><a href="http://skiddaddle.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=103">GIFTS</a></li><li><a href="http://skiddaddle.co.uk/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=98">TOYS</a></li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<div class="clearBoth"></div>
 </div>

I am trying to optimize my page, but my software tell me that the first 250 characters of my webpage content is:

[FONT=Arial]Home Log In Home yourtexthere All Products Specials Search --> BOOKS Fiction First Editions Non FictionCDSDVDS DVD VHSGift VouchersGIFTSTOYSInformation Shipping Info Privacy Policy Conditions of Use About Us Site Map Gift Certificate FAQ Discout Coup ...[/FONT]

HOW CAN I REMOVE THIS?
I really hope somebody cam make some sense of my gibberish, but I am going google eyed trying to figure it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards Chris

I'm trying to validate my site do some optimization.

The csshover.htc is causing problems in both FF and IE

FF says:

Code:

Warning: Unknown property 'behavior'.  Declaration dropped.
Source File: http://nahidfashions.com/boutique/includes/templates/NAHID_ARTISTIC/css/stylesheet_header_menu.css
Line: 2

IE says:

HTML Code:

Error: Access denied to 
http://nahidfashions.com/boutique/includes/csshover.htc

I've played around with the htaccess file but nothing seems to work.

Please post your .htaccess file. The behavior FF warning can be ignored.

Like I said I've been playing around with this, so I don't know what the current attempt will display.

OK, here's the deal. You're telling it to change alll non-www to www. Which is fine, if that is the way you normally link to your site. IE sees a non-ww and www site as two different sites, even if they're the same site. THAT is why you get the error:

Error: Access denied to
http://nahidfashions.com/boutique/includes/csshover.htc

This is perfectly normal behavior for IE.

Now, if you want to refer to your site without the www, then you need to change the .htaccess files, and the configure.php files to remove the www.
