Hello,

I have a problem since a while with my site, Internet Explorer closes with an error from time to time.
I managed to find axactly what cause it :
While the main page is displaying a form (content creation, hook_form in any module etc ...), if the user uses the nice menus, then Internet explorer 7 closes with an error.

Do you know how I could avoid that ?
If you need to see the problem, let me know, i'll give you access.

Thanks for your help.
Matthieu.

I tried to change to version 1.4, but it didn't fix the bug ...
Can anyone help ?

Thank you.

Under Vista / IE7 I get the following very informative :-) message when IE7 closes.

My guess is that it is something related to Javascript. I.e. not clearing up something or so.

(Updated)

This is my foolproof way to crash IE7:

  1. Open a page in IE7 containing a nice_menu menu
  2. Make sure you are logged in. (I can't reproduce it if I am not logged in)
  3. Click on a nice_menu item
  4. While waiting for the clicked page to show up, do not move the mouse!
  5. When the page have loaded, slowly move the mouse pointer out of the area which (the hide) menu covers
  6. Voila, IE7 start thinking for a second or so and then crashes with the message attached

I can't reproduce this myself. Been over a year, so I'm closing this.

ie, sigh always has problems, anyways after searching for a very long time and researching, i found out the solution

here s hw it works:

.nice-menu, .nice-menu li, .nice-menu li ul, .nice-menu li ul li, #preface, #header-wrapper,#header, #body
{
z-index:9999;
}

z-index should be increased for the root ie body till the nice menu ul li element, hope this helps someone
