Not sure what's going on here:

www.pristineclassical.com/index2.html

Having spent a long time setting up our site to work with this, and testing it all in Firefox as I went, I find everything works just fine in Firefox, Chrome, Safari, but it's a disaster in IE9 & IE8 (don't have 7 but it looks OK in 6).

The menu is a basic horizontal using your Dark Blue design, which I've not interfered with. The extension was bought and installed yesterday on Dreamweaver CS5.5 and is up to date.

Navigation is entirely impossible on Internet Explorer - the menu headings are rendered vertically and the drop-down thus semi-obscures the menus beneath. What was supposed to be an update to our site to make it more navigable has rendered it unusable to a large number of our users.

Any ideas as to how this might be resolved would be urgently welcomed.

Hello,

It is a bug in your code. You do not have an editable region named "head".

Panic over - I discovered that a chunk of link rel and script type code was being dropped into the documents ABOVE the <html> and <head> tags. IE doesn't appear to like this where others don't seem to mind. By manually editing my templates to place it in the right place everything seems to be working.

Is this a Dreamweaver bug or a DMXZone bug?

That's how Dreamweaver made the template...

I am having this issue as well with IE 9 and tried moving the "<link rel" content below the <head> tag but it didn't fix it.

Im using DW CS4.


Thank you

Nick

After tons of googling, I found a solution that worked for me. So if anyone stumbles across this thread...try these steps:

In DW with your html page open, go to: "Modify > Page Properties" click on "Title/Encoding" then in the drop down for "Document Type DTD" select "XHTML 1.0 Transitional". This fixed my site in IE and now the drop down menu bar functions properly in all web browsers.
