Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Menu issues with IE

I have 2 IE problems that I need help with please. In 7, 8, & 9 there is a white background behind the active menu item. In 7 & 9, the submenu is disappearing upon hovering over it.

Also, I was wondering how I can position the sub menu? I would like to move it over to the right a bit, but margin or padding aren't giving me any results.

URL is www.blackberrymorganhorses.com.

Atahualpa 3.7.6, WP 3.3.2

Thank you!

I'm wondering if this could have something to do with updating Wordpress and Atahualpa to the latest versions? I have drop down menus on other sites that haven't yet been updated and they have no problem with the menus in IE.

Anyone?

Instead of calling it the active menu item, call it the current menu item. There are selectors for the current menu item you can see with Firebug. You should try playing with them.

So a:active should be a:current? I have never heard of this. Why is it working on other sites then when I am using a:active?
I tried it for this instance, but it didn't change anything, and in fact the rollover links in the drop down menu didn't change color.

The only place I see any use of the term 'current', is in the sub menu, and the problem I'm having with current or active menu items is in the main menu. How would this effect the drop down menu disappearing when it's hovered on?

Can you possibly help me out and be a little more specific about which direction I need to go here, because I have no clue. I have tried playing around with this a little bit, but nothing is working, and that's because I have no idea what to use, and I'm sure my code is not correct.

Any additional guidance you can give me would be greatly appreciated, because I am beyond stuck here.

Thank you.

a:active refers to a link element when it is clicked. There is no a:current. In your case it looks like you would use SOMETHING LIKE in the CSS Inserts box.
HTML Code:
#rmenu2 .current-menu-item, #rmenu2 .current_page_item {
    background-color: transparent !important;
}
BTW - The differences in the way the different browsers handle CSS can, in some situations, cause confusion.

Larry, I'm not sure which of my problems your solution was intended to potentially solve, but it didn't solve either. I don't have a transparent background issue in IE on the submenu, only on the main menu. The submenu will not stay active when moused over in IE, therefore no one would be able to click on the menu items in the submenu. Is this related to the active link setting?

I understand that different browsers handle CSS differently, what I don't understand is why this same code works on other sites in IE, but not on this one. The only difference so far is that this site has the most recent versions of wordpress and atahualpa. Is there a way to roll back to a previous version of atahualpa for troubleshooting purposes?
