I've been bashing my head with this problem for several days now and i've tried lots and lots of methods with no good result. now, i'm out of ideas.
I want to use the superfish/suckerfish menu from :
http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plug...rfish/#sample1
The problem is that i want to show the second ul submenu (the one that extends from the first) ~50px to the left over the first ul menu.
see the problem in the attached image.
it works fine in firefox, but in internet explorer 6 & 7 the second ul submenu is shown below the first one. i thought its a problem with z-index or something but i can't get it to work.
here is the html code :
