Evening,
I've built some pulldown menu using DHTML that hide tables via the visibility command. Each time someone goes over then menu the entire menu options are displayed. While the mouse is over the menu the button changes it's background image and applies style sheets such as borders, background colors.
Now everything works great except when the mouse moves though the options on the menu the menu flashes... almost like it loses the style sheets and then re-applies it, even the background image for the button goes away for a quick second.. Now this only happen in Internet Explorer.
Do you gues have any idea on why this occurs in IE?
Here is my code... only the section for the menu:
##################################HTML################################
<td id="HomeMenuMain" class="cn4" onMouseOver="displayMenu('HomeMenu',1);" onMouseOut="hideMenu('HomeMenu',1);" style="cursor:pointer;" background="/forum/Images/MainLayout/Menu_Extenders.jpg" onClick="document.location.href='/forum/index_p_home.html';">
<!--- Home --->
<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left">
<tr>
<td valign="middle" class="cn4">  Home <img src="/forum/Images/MainLayout/DownArrow2.gif" alt=""> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
<span id="HomeMenu" style="visibility: hidden; position: absolute;" style="FILTER: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Shadow(direction=135,color=#929087,strength=3);">
<table width="150" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="left">
<tr>
<td><img src="/forum/Images/MainLayout/Spacer.gif" width="1" height="7" alt=""></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td background="/forum/Images/MainLayout/DynamicMenu_BackGround.gif" class="cn4" id="NavTd4">
<div id="Nav4">
<a href="/forum/index_p_home.html" style="text-decoration: none" class="cn8"><p><img src="/forum/Images/MainLayout/Spacer.gif" width="20" height="1" alt="" border="0">Corporate Home Page</p></a>
<div class="line"></div>
<a href="/forum/index_p_custhome.html" style="text-decoration: none" class="cn8"><p><img src="/forum/Images/MainLayout/Spacer.gif" width="20" height="1" alt="" border="0">Customer Portal Page</p></a>
</div>
<br>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</span>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!--- Home --->
</td>

It would be much easier to troubleshoot a live page. Could you post a link?

Sure... let me move some code to another server and create a url.. I'll post it today.
Thanks!

OK... you can view dummy version at http://redhawk.studio5.com/menu.asp
Notice that when you move throw the menus the background image of the buttons flashes, as well as the background for the pull down menu too.
Thanks for your help!

I don't notice any flashing, it seems to work smoothly in both browsers (IE and FF).

Ya it's odd, but if you use the latest version of IE and move over the menu slowly you don't get the problem... try scrolling through the pulldowns quickly. You should notice it flashing? Do you? Or anyone else?
Thanks - Dave
