The 541510

Trying to get Pop Menu Magic 1.06 drop down to work with IE6 and IE8.   Don’t know if this code will help.  I was having trouble getting multi word headings to stay on one line so I used the <nobr> tag within the multiline items (ie. <li><nobr>Menu Heading</nobr></li>).  Here is some of the CSS trickery I tried.  Please note that this is for drop downs and probably will not work for menus coming out from the side.  Just stick this code in the HTML document after the menu CSS declaration.

<!--[if lte IE 6]>
<style>
#p7PMnav a {height: auto !important;}
#p7PMnav ul a {height: 1em !important;}
</style>
<![endif]-->

<!--[if IE 7]>

<style>

#p7PMnav li {
width: 1em;
float: left;
height: auto !important;
}

#p7PMnav ul li{
float:left;
clear:both;
}

#p7PMnav a {
zoom:1;
overflow:hidden;
width: auto;
}

#p7PMnav li ul li a {
float: none;
}

</style>

<![endif]-->

<!--[if IE 8]>
<style>

#p7PMnav ul li{
float:left;
clear:both;
}

</style>

<![endif]-->

Getting it to work in IE8 is just trial and error, figuring out which IE7 hacks must be carried over.

…and I begin my adventure of serious professional blogging. I tried this once before but didn’t build up enough of an audience to continue. Hopefully this time I will create more compelling content.

The title of this blog isn’t that great but I couldn’t find anything better. Basically 541510 is the North American Industry Classification for Computer Systems Design and Related Services. You have to put the number on the tax form Net Profit from Business, Schedule C of the 1040.
