We had nice menus working well in 6.x-1.1 but last night installed dev version because we needed add1sun's patch to add extended class. We patched the dev version with add1sun's patch - plus two patches to the patch (see http://drupal.org/node/219804#comment-953956). Now the drop downs don't work in IE7 at all. They are fine in Ffx. Any ideas at all why this could be?

This one works ok for me.
Though I've a speed problem with IE7, terribly slow respond time.
Wonder if it's just me?

The patched versions work fine for me in IE7 so I dunno what has caused the issue for you.

@wuf31, well if the browser sniffing thingy in the JS is not filtering IE7 out properly then you might be getting the IE7/JS woes. That is a separate issue though.

Also, which theme? Does this also happen in core themes?

We finally got to the bottom of this. There was a comment line at the start of the page template which was the offender. It seems that content before the doctype triggers 'quirks mode' in the web browser, causing it to be rendered differently. I am sure you experts know this! I am just mentioning it here for the record in case other amateurs like me run into this kind of problem.

But thanks as always for responding to the issue.
