menu on Master a mess in IE !

VS2005, Win XP, IE 6.0
Who ever would have thought. My menu looks better in firefox than
IE6.0 !!

If I create a site menu on a regular webForm it displays ok.
Menu is only 2 levels deep (not counting hidden "home" level 0)

But if I create it on a Master page (which I need to do), when I run
the content page it loses all formatting. I mean all. Here is what I
see when the page runs:
- Colors, fonts are gone.
- When page first displays there are dbl verticle arrows seperating
all of the level two lists, which are displayed down the left side of
the page. Pointing to these arrows removes them and hides the list
-Then when pointing to the menu items, the level two lists are popping
up in wierd places on the screen along with empty white boxes
elsewhere on the screen.

sigh...
Does anyone have any idea about this behavior?

Thanks
Jeff

It's difficult to tell without seeing your markup, but it sounds as if your
menu has lost the link to its stylesheet, maybe due to incorrect absolute
references...

Bear in mind that document element names will change in a MasterPage /
content page scenario - if your stylesheet is referring to element names,
that will almost certainly be the problem...

Yes I agree with Mark. Check your CSS reference. I bet the path is messed
up from some pages.
Think about using absolute paths or dynamic paths or using the tilde ~

Re: menu on Master a mess in IE !

I have not even set a style sheet for the menu.
I set a few colors in the propeties window.
Here is all the master and test code:

Main.Master:

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true"
CodeBehind="Main.master.cs" Inherits="MMS.Main" %>

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Re: menu on Master a mess in IE !

It's a known "bug", the problem with how CSS style for menu are used.

You can fix it by removing from web.config
