    Default Ahhhhh!!!!

    Ok.... here is what appears to trigger the problem:

    Rollover "Products"
    Rollover "Product List"
    Rollover the list of products and Rollout from that sub-sub menu.

    The next time you Rollover the "Products" menu, the <ul> for the sub-sub menu will display.

    This only happens if the Rollout occurred from the sub-sub menu.
    If you Rolled Out from any other menu item, the error will not occur.


    I'm praying that made sense? Is it a script error with the portion that allows for the delay in hiding the menu?

    I see it. It doesn't appear to be a part of the onload problem from before and I cannot get the DD demo page to do it. It may be because your page has no DOCTYPE or because of the other modifications we made to the menu script. I'd test the second idea first. Go back to the default code for the menu, with the original hack.css file (be sure to restore it to it original condition) and reinstate the script call:

    Code:
    		<!--[if IE]>
    			<link rel="stylesheet" href="hack.css">
    			<script type="text/javascript">
    			window.mlrunShim = true;
    			</script>
    		<![endif]-->
    and without this:

    Code:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    		/***********************Script below added to prevent menus from displaying on page load if javascript is enabled************************/
    		if(document.getElementById)
    		document.write('<style type="text/css"> .horizontal li ul {display: none;} <\/style>');
    </script>
    If that fixes it, we need to figure out why because, I don't think it should. If not, try using this DOCTYPE for your page:

    Code:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
    It may still be a bug in the script as, there is nothing on the DD demo page that is exactly like what you have as far as nesting to one and only only one level with no 'special effects' and no sub available image/indicator.

    Default Error in the delay?

    Unfortunately neither of those appeared to fix the problem. (and adding the doc type actually altered the widths and threw them all out of alignment)

    With further testing it appears that the problem is in the "delay" option. With it removed, the menus behave as expected:

    Well, that is a bug in the menu then, or at least qualifies for a bug report if we can't fix it with an existing update. BLM is actually a coder who participates in these forums fairly regularly. As I recall he sometimes has updates available for download from his web site that are not on the DD demo page. Make sure you are using the most recent update:

    The version on DD hasn't been updated in a while. I can't remember exactly ,but I'm pretty sure this was fixed in the version on my site.
