Long story here, but some crappy web company designed this site and now I am supposed to maintain it and the CSS menu isn't right in IE 7. Anyone have any ideas as to why it looks like this in IE7 ONLY, looks fine in IE 6, Firefox, ect.
I have looked at it extensively, but am not the best at CSS. I am thinking it could have something to do with the outerwrap style.
any help would be so very much appreciated....
thanks
Jackie

Sorry, I don't have IE7 loaded, but if you were to provide an image of what the problem looks like I could look at the code.
If the problem is in the Menu on the left (Home, Job Search, What can I do at Stanfor, ...) the problem could be in the JavaScript. that section is within a div with id="p7TMnav" and there is a javascript file called p7tmscripts.js. One of the functions in that script is run onload of the page.
To me it seems they made that a whole lot more complicated than it needed to be.

Michael J, you rock my world. I am looking at the js file. If that isn't it, i found out that this crappy ass company used this company to buy there menus from cause all the files are p7 files. http://www.projectseven.com/support...
They say to use the IE 7 code, and it isn't working for some reason.
I have loaded a screenshot for you here is the URL. It is just a screenshot though, it is just the left nav overlap of the word Stanford. Here is the URL. http://hrweb.stanford.edu/tod_test/...
Thank you so much for caring...

OK, the problem IS within that script or, more correctly, within the style sheet that script utilizes.
There is a stylesheet named "p7tmbasic.css" which controls how that menu is displayed. Specifically, all of the classes that begin with "#p7TMnav". As I said I don't have IE7 so I can't do to much, but you might be able to play around with those classes and figure out how to make it look right in IE7.

I got it! I found the fix. It was a matter of changing px to % for the overlap and then I found this code for the rollovers.
Thanks so much Michael! You are the best.
If anyone else has any more problems. There are some fixes here.
