I have an issue where the ASP:menu control pop-out menus are not appearing when I open a web page with Internet Explorer 8. This issue is documented at http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2009/03/23/asp-menu-fix-for-ie8-problem-available.aspx and http://support.microsoft.com/kb/962351 The Microsoft article seems to indicate that there's an IIS hotfix rollup to address this issue. Has this rollup been applied to the DiscountASP.net servers? Or is there any other way to work around this issue without using the "Compatibility View"? Thanks in Advance
I'm not sure if DASP have applied the hotfix because when I first encountered this problem a few months back with an RC version of IE8, I implemented a CSS workaround myself to fix it (which is still in my code now): Code: <asp:Menu...> <DynamicMenuStyle CssClass="dynamicMenu" /> </asp:Menu> .dynamicMenu { z-index: 350; /*this is the IE8 / asp:menu fix TODO: remove this when there is a fix released */ } Have a read of this article for some more workarounds: http://blogs.msdn.com/giorgio/archive/2009/02/01/asp-net-menu-and-ie8-rendering-white-issue.aspx
We are aware of this hotfix and in the process of determining whether to apply it or not. The rollup fix is only for IIS 6.0.
