I've been using Hierarchial Select for quite some time now. . . Great module. I do have an issue with IE7 though. Any time there is another form element above the select box, IE7 loads is next to the hierarchical select box and not above. Also it looks like Ie7 counts down each vocab term as its getting loaded in the loading bar (this takes a lot of time). This isn't a problem until your vocabulary gets big. Larger vocabs take much much longer to load in Ie7. Other browsers and older versions of IE seem to load the terms much faster. I was wondering if there was a way to cache the terms in the list or have the terms load in chunks.

Thanks,
ash

Loading times for terms are *only* dependent on the server. Not everything is loaded at once, only the needed parts.

The positioning issue describe is very vague. Please post screenshots/screencasts to clarify.

Attached is a jpeg of my IE7 positioning issue. Also i have realized that the browser loading all terms has nothing to do with Hierarchical Select, but the taxonomy module. Here is another user's blog on the same issue. http://www.robshouse.net/drupal/26/11/2005/that_darn_taxonomy_widget. I don't think this issue has been fixed yet, but there are some patches available out there. I will have to do some more research. Thanks for taking a look at the positioning issue though.

Seems like a clearing issue... But I'm no CSS magician, so I'm not sure how to fix this. Is this in a default Drupal theme or in a custom one?

It was a custom theme based off of aurora theme. I simply added a clear: both to the form element in my style sheet and now it works fine. Thanks for your time. . . .
