Drop-down meun does not work in IE (Lifestyle Theme)

  • I am using the Lifestyle theme and my navbar contains categories and subcategories. It looks like this (test):

    <div id="subnavbar">

	<ul id="subnav">

	<li class="cat-item cat-item-29"><a href="https://test/category/cat1/" title="View all posts filed under cat1">cat1</a>
<ul class='children'>
	<li class="cat-item cat-item-41"><a href="https://test/category/cat1/subcat1/" title="View all posts filed under subcat1">subcat1</a>
</li>

    Everything works perfect in safari and FF. But in IE 6/7 the subcategories will not dropdown when mouseover the category cat1 i.e.

    Has anyone an idea what that could be or how to fix it? I am really appreciating some help!

    Thats the code that I use in the header.php:

    <div id="subnavbar">

	<ul id="subnav">
		<?php wp_list_categories('sort_column=name&title_li=&depth=4'); ?>
	</ul>

</div>

    Anyone an idea why the subcategoris don’t drop down in IE but in Safari/FF it works fine?

    The issue is likely with the CSS governing the hover over ul #subnav li and making visible the appropriate ul li farther along.

    I am not familiar with this theme, can we see a link to your blog? IE will only recognize the hover pseudoclass when applied to an anchor link. To get around it, most drop down systems run a small piece of Javascript that finds the list element and attaches an onmouseover event to it. I imagine that they developers of your theme took this in to account, so I’m not sure what may be happening.
