I'm using the Leaf Blower template for CC HTML editor. There's a drop down menu in the menu bar. It works correctly in Firefox, but is inoperative in IE7.

Hiya Jefff,
Try clearing your browser cache/temp internet files as it's working fine for me in IE8

No, that wasn't it.
Since two other people have reported this to me I'm assuming its an issue with the CSS and certain versions of IE.

Thanks anyway. I'll switch my site back to Dreamweaver version, the drop down menu in that version worked with all browsers.

Maybe see the difference between the menu setups to see if you can see what might be wrong too, might just be that IE needs special code (which it usually does for most things) to make it work is all.

This article explains how to fix it:
IE7 Recalculated Offset Bug

Your menu code has some missing/misplaced tags. It should look like this:
So, this styling makes the menu work in IE7:
However, the positioning is a bit off in that browser. Changing the top positioning from "auto" to "1em" makes things more consistent across browsers.
This menu also doesn't work in IE6. Take a look at the following thread for the fix:

Your menu code has some missing/misplaced tags. It should look like this:

So, this styling makes the menu work in IE7:
#navigation li:hover #dropdown, #navigation li.sfhover #dropdown {
left:0;
margin-left: 0%;
}
left:0;
margin-left: 0%;
}
However, the positioning is a bit off in that browser. Changing the top positioning from "auto" to "1em" makes things more consistent across browsers.
#dropdown {
position:absolute;
top:1em;
left:-999em;
width:135px;
padding:10px 0;
background-color:#101010
}
position:absolute;
top:1em;
left:-999em;
width:135px;
padding:10px 0;
background-color:#101010
}
