CSS Menu not working in IE6 but works in IE7

Hey all,

I’m doing a css menu and it works fine in every browser except IE6. The only issue i am having with it in IE6 is it does not pop out…when i hover over a menu item like a flyout menu.

I currently have my hover set to:

left:auto;

That works on every browser except IE6.

Here is my complete css code:

#nav, #nav ul {
    float: left;
    width: 163px;
    height:24px;
    list-style: none;
    line-height: 1;
    font-weight: bold;
    padding: 0px;
    border-width: 0px 0;
    margin: 0 0 0 0;
    top:82px;
    position:relative;
    z-index:1;
}

#nav a {
    display: block;
    width: 10em;
    w\idth: 6em;
    color: #7C6240;
    text-decoration: none;
    padding: 0.25em 2em;
}

#nav a.daddy {
    background-color:#c09a3c;
    width:114px;
    height:18px;
    position:relative;
    font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:12px;
    color:#FFFFFF;
    border-top: solid #FFFFFF 1px;
    border-right: solid #FFFFFF 1px;
    
}

#nav a.daddy1 {

    font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:12px;

}

#nav a.daddy4 {

#nav a.daddy5 {

    border-bottom: solid #FFFFFF 1px;
    border-left: solid #FFFFFF 1px;
}
    
#nav a.daddy6 {
    background:url(images/right_arrow.gif) center right no-repeat;
    background-color:#c09a3c;
    width:114px;
    height:18px;
    position:relative;
    font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

    border-right: solid #FFFFFF 1px;
    
}

#nav a.daddy7 {
    background-color:#c09a3c;
    width:114px;
    height:33px;
    left:162px;
    position:relative;
    font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:12px;
    color:#FFFFFF;
    border-top: solid #FFFFFF 1px;
    border-right: solid #FFFFFF 1px;
    border-left: solid #FFFFFF 1px;
    line-height:16px;
}

#nav li {
    float: left;
    padding: 0;
    width: 10em;
}

#nav li ul {
    position: absolute;
    left: -999em;
    height: auto;
    width: 14.4em;
    w\idth: 13.9em;
    font-weight: normal;
    border-width: 0.25em;
    margin: 0;
}

#nav li:hover ul {
    left:auto;
}

Any ideas on what other ways i can do this so that it will flyout in all browsers?

Cheers in advance :slight_smile:
