    Can someone tell me how to fix these menus. I am using Amora Software to create the menus and in IE they do not work correctly. Tey jump around and you have to like double click to change pages. This is what Amora says:

    Just below the last <object> in your HTML page, insert the following Javascript:
    <script type="text/javascript" src="ieupdate.js"></script>

    I told them I don't have an <object> tag in my code......

    To fix the problem, please follow these steps:

    1) Just below the last <object> in your HTML page, insert the following Javascript:

    <script type="text/javascript" src="ieupdate.js"></script>

    2) Add a small .js file to your website directory. You can download the zipped .js file here

    If you are curious what the content of the .js file is click here

    3) Save this file as ieupdate.js to the root of your website (or where you save your html pages)

    4) Upload both files to your webserver, and the problem should be solved.

    Macromedia has provide it's own solution to the above problem, altough more complex, it might eventually be a better way of dealing with the problem, as their solution is more robust. This solution has by now been inplemented in Dreamweaver and FLashMX and I assume all other Adobe/Macromedia products.

    I would appreciate any help in this.....THks

    The problem here is the software you are using. The idea of using Javascript to fix a rendering error (which is definitely caused by the CSS or a combination of the HTML and the CSS depending on how they put it together) is NOT the way to go. *Edit I posted this assuming that this is software that builds HTML menus.

    I believe they don't mean THE <object> tag, but merely whatever the last tag is (of any sort) on your page that isn't the </body> or </html> tag. A bad name to call it if that is indeed what they meant.

    If this menu is some sort of Flash-ish menu, then I hope there is a real menu underneath. I don't have this special software; would I be able to view your site and click on the menu?

    If this is HTML and CSS, you could post the CSS up to and including the menu, and the full HTML, and we can maybe figure out why one browser is jumping. IE6 is more likely to jump around on :hover than other browsers, usually do to various versions of peekaboo bugs (or simply too much of a change in size in the :hovers).
