I am working on a solution to a problem I have. This is not a CC problem, and I am posting this for the information of others, and as a reminder that little things can cause big problems.
I have had the DHTML menuy working great in every aspect other than IE messing up the sub-menus.
Reading online about IE bugs, I was given the suggestion of a minimal page for testing bugs. I created a page with nothing other than my standard head stuff and the menu. The menu was still broke. I deleted my link to the CSS file, and the menu started working. I restored the CSS and deleted entries until I found the one that causes my problem. The offending CSS entry is:
body {
padding: 1%;
text-align: justify;
Width: 790px;
}
The effects of this entry can be seen at:

Removing the entry from the CSS file results are at:

If you want to see a menu get the shakes, scroll down the page several lines, and then select the drop-down menu on the problem page. I have no idea why IE behaves this way, but tomorrow, I continue my quest to narrow the problem down, and maybe find a work around.

If I remove the
padding: 1%;
line from the CSS entry, the problem is fixed.
Does anyone have any ideas why it behaves this way?

Internet Explorer does not like % in padding or margins and will often throw up wierd results. I am afraid until IE sorts itself out then you will have to use absolute values such as 10px ...
Annoying isn't it.
