Disappearing CSS Drop-Down in IE8

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Oct 05.2010

I have this great PureCss drop-down on this site [url]http://www.stonebridgeschool.org[/url]
I Just discovered it’s hidden on some but not all pages in IE8.0 only! I am scouring the code and don’t see what is causing it. Here are a few pages it is not working on:
[url]http://www.stonebridgeschool.org/index.php[/url]
[url]http://www.stonebridgeschool.org/faculty.php[/url]

And a few pages where it does work!
[url]http://www.stonebridgeschool.org/enrollment.php[/url]
[url]http://www.stonebridgeschool.org/curriculum.php[/url]

Thank you!

@cbVisionOct 05.2010 — I'd guess it's a z-index issue meaning the content below the bar on the pages that it isn't working is positioned above the dropdown. Try hidding the #mainContentwide DIV and roll over the dropdowns in ie8 to see if it shows.

@spitfire72authorOct 06.2010 — I wish it were that simple. The divs appear to be identical on the pages where the drop-down works and doesn't work. I did apply a z-index to the header div where the drop-down is contained, but that didn't help.


ie: this works: http://www.stonebridgeschool.org/curriculum.php

and this doesn't: http://www.stonebridgeschool.org/faculty2.php

thanks.

@spitfire72authorOct 06.2010 — Someone located a line of code that was breaking things in ie8.

I had a UTF thingy from a previous fix:

<?php echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8?>'; ?>

Removing it resolved my issues!

Success!
