Drupal Administration Menu works great using Firefox as browser, but id did not work for me in Internet Explorer 7 and 6. In IE I can see the menu but sub menues are not dropping down, when I move the mouse over the main menu items. I tried some things to make this work and I think I have found the solution. I changed following code line (line 45) in admin_menu.module (Release 1.10.4.3) from:

    $ie_header = "<!--[if lt IE 7]>\n";

to:

    $ie_header = "<!--[if lte IE 7]>\n";

and now everything works fine both in Internet Explorer 6 and 7 and in Firefox.

Did you double-check that this bug is not caused by a certain theme?
There were several CSS fixes committed for the 5.x-1.0 release so I am a bit confused how and why this particular bug still exists.

The IE 7 issue that this patch solved seems to be incorporated in the latest dev release, however - the dev release fix pushes down part of my layout in IE 7, whereas the patch does not do this?

Version: 5.x-1.0 » 5.x-1.x-dev

The reason for this could be that CSS selectors were hardened. Extract from the patch:

-.block-admin_menu { border: 0; margin: 0; }
+body .block-admin_menu { width: 100% !important; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; }

-.block-admin_menu .content { padding: 0; }
+body .block-admin_menu .content { border: 0; padding: 0; }

Those lines appear at the beginning of admin_menu.css. Without having access to your site, I cannot tell you what's happening there. So please try to adjust those lines for your theme and perhaps come up with a patch for admin menu.

I have now replaced the prevoiusly used development snapshots 5.x-1.x-dev (packaged on 2007-07-11) with the official release from 2007-09-06 and this one works fine in Internet Explorer 7. I successfully tested the following themes in Firefox 2 and Internet Explorer 7:
garland, newsletter

I thought I already had tried the official release from the 6th of September with no success. But I must be wrong as I see now it works- sorry!

There is another issue with the theme YAML for Drupal (theme release is 5.x-2.5.2.6 from www.yaml-fuer-drupal.de):
The admin menues are pushed down in Internet Explorer, but they the settings menue is only partially visible because it lies behind the navigation menu. (The other admin menues left from "settings" are fully visible, because they are short and don't get covered by the navigation menue on the left side.) I think it is a CSS problem (yaml uses a table-less design), so it will be taher a problem with the theme not with the admin menu. I'm sorry but I have no internet site to show you the problem, I'm just working on an intranet site this time.

I had an error in my last comment #5: the successfully tested themes were garland and newsflash (not newsletter)

I noticed a new release of the yaml-for-drupal theme (yaml-for-drupal-5.x-3.0.3.7.tar.gz). This release seems to work fine now together with the Drupal Administration Menu in Internet Explorer
