All levels navigation onclick instead of onmouseover for IE8

**tomlei** · 09-21-2009, 09:30 AM

All Levels Navigation ver. 2.2
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...menu/index.htm

The DD Admin kindly posted an amended js file to enable the drop down menu to appear by onClick instead of onMouseOver at the following url

http://www.df35.com.cn/forums/blog.p...ogcategoryid=1

However, I am having problems getting it working on IE8, when click on the navigation the page simply went blank and nothing happens. I tried amending the META forcing the browser to emulate IE7 but no joy. It would be great if you could advise how to rectify this.

Many thanks in advance.

It should work in IE8, at least with a valid doctype. I just tested this on the default demo of DD, except with the .js file replaced with the modified one referenced in my blog post above:

In IE8, clicking the top menu items reveals the sub menus as expected.

I am having serious incompatability issues with IE8 and only IE8.

Mouseover dropdowns don't work and actually move the images...

Advice?
