Great site, thanks for the css pure menuing example.
When I preview my code--having implemented the Pure CSS Menu example you
provide--using frontpage, I get the following error:
"Access is denied to: file///{path to file}/IEmen.htc".
The error does not appear, however, when I load the index.html and IEmen.htc
files (see [URL]) to the my
web server. Also, my sub menu appears underneath the main menu. Any ideas
on these two issues?
Sincerely,
-Russell D.

Russell,

Sounds like IE's "security" protection. I disable this useless feature;
tools - internet options - advanced - allow active content to run in files
on my computer.

I am guessing you have solved this problem, because I do not see it on your
example.

thanks for your quick reply.
I worked down each css line, one at a time, until I finally found the
problem. I had set a background color in the "ul.makeMenu li a" tag which
gave the menu the appearance of placing the secondary menu underneath the
primary menu.
I'm using IE version 6.0.28 and I do not see the "allow active content to
run in files" option listed in the Internet Options-->advanced section.
Perhaps I need to upgrade or I'm totally missing something?

It only appears in IE 6 on Windows XP SP 2 (where scripting is disabled by
default for file:// URLs).
If you are getting that error on earlier versions, then I am really at a
loss to explain it I am afraid. Except that IE is an unpredictable and
problematic browser - but that does not help you locate the cause.
