Suckerfish Dropdown Menu “Sticks” in IE7

May 19th, 2007

The Problem:
When using the Suckerfish Dropdown Menu in IE7 the dropdown menu often “sticks” and will not go up when you mouse off the menu.

The Fix:
Just add the following code to your CSS:

#menu li:hover, #menu li.hover { position: static; }

Thanks to Built From Source for the fix.

Rebooted Again

May 1st, 2007

Once again I participated in the CSS Reboot and the Standards Reboot for my main site  (blog not touched yet).  It’s only been 6 months since the Fall Reboot but I never really liked the old site and it gave me an opportunity to make the site a little more accessible.

I received 354 spam comments on my “Rebooted!” post since 11/02/06. 354! After reading Dave Shea’s blog post “Borderline” I am now implementing a new WordPress plugin called Akismet that boasts it nearly eliminates all comment spam.

I’ll update you on the results later.
