Comment on A fix for Suckerfish dropdowns in IE 7 by Carol

With a couple of the suggested changes above, my dropdown menus have been working without hitch in normal screen resolution in Firefox and IE7. Thanks!

However, if, in IE7, someone uses the zoom feature under PAGE adjustments, the dropdown moves away from the preceding layer, creating a space between the base dropdown layer and the extension. Clicking on the extension becomes impossible as the new layer disappears once the mouse moves into the open break.

Looks strange…currently fix by telling a viewer if using a zoom feature to go back to 100% resolution before exiting the page via the dropdown. Wondered if anyone encountered the problem and came up with a programming solution.

I assume you’re referring to client-side database APIs specified in HTML 5. If so,

The one thing I’d most like to see, which I can’t seem to find anywhere, is a simple example of SQL from Javascript. Everyone says it’s possible, but nobody shows it happening, and I can’t find API documentation.

If you would consider showing an example of a simple select in iPhone JS/SQL, I’d very much appreciate it.

Thanks for the tutorial.
Any idea if it’s possible to install a plugin using JAVASCRIPT ?

Can someone fix my suckerfish dropdown in IE 6/7: http://is.gd/2mHD (position on :hover is to the right of my item…) ?

I need to master this Dropdown because so many clients want it, and this seems to be the best method still.

Your component is a much needed enhancement to the Zend Framework. More than a year ago I wrote a Zend view helper pagination script that served its purpose (http://www.fabapps.com/software/pagination.php). Now that your far superior paginator is released, I can be much more confident that my pagination features are stable, robust, and easy to use. Thank you for you efforts here.

Thanks for your work on it — I’ve put it in use on almost all my ZF-based projects. Hopefully I’ll be able to release some more code soon, because Zend_Paginator + Zend_Cache really makes paginating search results easy

Hi!
I am really a CSS newbie & I cant find a way to make my suckerfish menu work with IE… the submenus are not under the good topmenu, always under the next topmenu to the right.
Could you please have a look and tell me what to do? I tried many solutions, but I am sure that I made something wrong.

Application programming is different from web programming. Applications have a longer life time so the systems that run them have to be backwards compatible for a longer time, PHP can afford to be a bit less BC.

Thanks so much for this - you saved me tons of work. I was having this problem in IE7 in a page using IFrames. It now works in IE7 and did not break in FF3, IE6 or Safari 3.

Since php runs on allmost any server out there, the move to another language will take a while…
however some wishes i had for the next version are:
true thread-safety
strong typing
cleanup of unused function

best regards

[...] * Eric Gerds adds that “navigator.javaEnabled() does not reveal whether Java is installed or not in IE.” Apparently disabling Java in IE merely disables the applet tag. Applets can still be loaded with the object tag despite javaEnabled() returning false. As such, you may want to modify this code. See his complete comment below. [...]

The background-position: 0 0; solution from comment #50 did the trick overhere.
For those whose menu are not on the correct loation, use
left: 0;
instead of
left: auto;
