Well, its fixed now, but it ain’t pretty. It would be much cleaner if I could figure out some way to make bloginfo return a pathname that started with “/” rather than one that starts with “https://”. Oh well.

Hi Whoami,
Thanks for the response. The above question is actually an attempt at a hack to fix a problem with superfish dropdowns as described here:

https://groups.google.com/group/jquery-en/browse_thread/thread/3892a06f70e46e29

As you can see, the problem with this page under IE is that superfish for some BIZARRE reason, it slows WAY down when I use an http absolute path to refer to the CSS file.

You say here that relative paths won’t work with WordPress… OK, so now I’m wondering if an absolute path that doesn’t go all the way out to the http level will work for some strange reason – I’m grasping for straws here since none of this makes sense, but its worth a try…

…the problem is that I have tried using absolute paths, but unless I use bloginfo to generate the path to the css file, it doesn’t seem to work – it can’t find my css. And bloginfo only generates paths that start with ‘http:’ which seems to be causing the problem.

You were wondering if “that business” needs help from somebody that can actually… And the answer is YES! I’m “that business” and I’m way out of my league trying to fix this issue. The original programmer for the site is no available and I’m obviously not a programmer – I’m a marketing guy. My guess is that this will only take less than an hour to fix, but I’m sure there will be other things we’ll need help with in the future. If you think you can fix this quickly without turning it into a research project, please email me at [email protected].

I’m still trying to figure out how to resolve this – any help here would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, the 3rd URL in the previous post is incorrect – the page that is working is at:

Worked like a charm! THANKS!!
