Senek Sasa	Sunday 28 October 2007 2:04:39 pm Hello, I have just started to use Exponential so I am therefore sorry if my question is pretty basic ! My homepage is a frontpage and I would like to add a dropdown menu in a table in the lefthand side column. I have managed to create the menu (it works under firefox) but because of the CSS interpretation problem of internet explorer 6 (eg: td:hover), the menu is not able to dropdown with the browser. After looking on many websites, I have found a few javascripts to bypass the problem. However, I don't quite understand the explanations on the ez.no documentation on how to intergrate the script. Do I have to directly modify the pagelayout.tpl? If so, how? Or, should I refer the *.js script in the following file: design.ini.append.php? I have tried it but without much success! Any other possibilities are also welcome! Many thanks!

Hello,

I have just started to use Exponential so I am therefore sorry if my question is pretty basic !

My homepage is a frontpage and I would like to add a dropdown menu in a table in the lefthand side column.

I have managed to create the menu (it works under firefox) but because of the CSS interpretation problem of internet explorer 6 (eg: td:hover), the menu is not able to dropdown with the browser.

After looking on many websites, I have found a few javascripts to bypass the problem.

However, I don't quite understand the explanations on the ez.no documentation on how to intergrate the script.

Do I have to directly modify the pagelayout.tpl? If so, how?

Or, should I refer the *.js script in the following file: design.ini.append.php? I have tried it but without much success!

Any other possibilities are also welcome!

Many thanks!
