Right so I'd like to start by once again stating that I am sorry if my question seems noobish, it probably is. Irregardless.
My company is migrating their webpage from a server 2003 system to a server 2008 r2 system and they want it to look as similar to the existing page as possible. Originally it included a server side slide menu by a company named obout. That slide menu does not work on the server 2008 r2 system despite trying several dozen dll registration methods and multiple attempts to contact the designer. I moved on to the next viable solution which was to create a new slide menu. I found a tutorial on the web (I don't know if it would be okay to post the link so I won't for now) and created my new menu system. A trial in and of itself for me because I know very little about javascript and only a class or two of html. So, the original site was set up as a main page surrounded by included webpages for the top navigation, the side navigation and the bottom copyright info. Anyways the slidemenu was included as the left navigation and when I attempted to put my new menu in it was less then successful. It seems that the issue was that the original menu was entirely contained in the body where as my new one has loading information and css information in the <HEAD>. I put the load information into the <HEAD> of one of the pages I'm trying to view, and here is where my actuall question is:
In Firefox 4 and 5 the information views as I think it should with no extra spacing and with the right colors. In IE9 however, there are extra spaces between my submenu items in the expanded menu. I believe that my CSS isn't being properly read.
I apologize for the long winded rant, I felt that the more background to the issue I could give the better.
The site on the 2003 server with the menu that I am trying to replicate can be found at http://sciinc.com/remotedba/index.asp
The site that I have been working on is at http://smallbusinessit.sciinc.com:8081/remotedba/index.asp
The issue is most easily viewed by expanding the Services header
Thank you in advance
