IE7 and Master Pages and asp.net 2.0 menus woes

Question

Well, I just downloaded and installed IE7 and installed it on a clean machine and tried my app on it. Failure. Basically I have a fairly straightforward app that was developed using VStudio 2005 using aspx pages with vb as the codebehind. I have a single masterpage and menu control on it. The app runs perfectly in ie6. However when I run it in IE7 things are in the wrong position and the menus don't work at all. I searched the web and apparently I am not the only one with these problems. Is there a fix coming prior to release? If not, what is the guidance?

Thanks ... Ed

 

Answer 1

Ed,

IE7 provides more support for CSS than IE6 did.  You may be running into a situation where you need to retool some CSS rules, some browser detection code, or some other version specific behavior to fully support IE7.  For more information, please see CSS Compatibility in IE7.

Hope this helps...

Answer 2

I am having exactly the same problem. I cant believe Microsoft cant get it right with something as simple as a menu control. I am using VS 2008 and its no better.  I am also missing a background image for a Div that contains a menu.

 

Any new info anyone?
