Question : Submenu items not visible in IE8

Sub menu items do not display after upgrading to IE 8. No changes have been made to the application code. I opened the site at the public libray to find out if my Windows version 7 upgrade was responsible. The library also uses Windows version 7 and IE 8. Same problem. When I selected the Mozilla browser, the menu items displayed.

Any references to this issue would be appreciated.

Answer : Submenu items not visible in IE8

It is not the CSS, but the changes from IE7 to IE8. However, you may try using a CSS class with Z-index since there is no corresponding attribute on the control that I know of.
