Dropdowns in Firefox

**RichClark** · Aug 13, 2005, 02:56

Hi

I was hoping that someone could help me out, i'm trying to get some CSS dropdowns working, having worked through several tutorials they look ok in IE but not in Firefox (I haven't even tried anything else) but if I can cover those two that'd be good. You can see the page here http://www.rf-id.com/v02/test.htm

The page code is here

HTML Code:

<HTML>
<head>
<title>RF-ID.com</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="CSS/rfid.css" media="all">

<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"><!--//--><![CDATA[//><!--

sfHover = function() {
	var sfEls = document.getElementById("topnav").getElementsByTagName("LI");
	for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) {
		sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() {
			this.className+=" sfhover";
		}
		sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() {
			this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover\\b"), "");
		}
	}
}
if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover);

//--><!]]></script>

</head>

<body><div id="container">
  <ul id="topnav" class="menutext">

</HTML>

And the Css is here

Code:

#container {
	margin: 0px auto;
	width:  700px;
	text-align: left;
	position: relative;
	padding: 0 10px 0 10px;
	left: 22px;

}
/*Drop down Divs*/

#topnav, #topnav ul { /*top menus*/
	float: left;
	width:100%;
	list-style: none;
	line-height: 1.75em;
	background: #831616;
	font-weight: bold;
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0 0 0 0;

}

#topnav a {
	display: block;
	color: white;
	text-decoration: none;
	padding: 0.25em 0.5em;
	border-left: 3px solid #E0C5C5;/*#D4B4A7*/
	font-family:verdana;
	border-bottom:none;
}

#topnav li {
	float: left;
	padding: 0;
	width:auto;
}

#topnav li ul {
	position: absolute;
	left: -999em;
	height: auto;
	width:100%;
	font-weight: normal;
	margin: 0;
}

#topnav li li { /*second menu items*/
	padding-right: 0.1em;
	width:101%;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #E0C5C5;
}

#topnav li ul a {
	color: white;
	font-family:verdana;
	text-decoration:none;
	font-weight:normal;
	border-bottom:none;
}

#topnav li ul ul {
	margin: -1.75em 0 0 15em;
}

#topnav li:hover ul ul, #topnav li:hover ul ul ul, #topnav li.sfhover ul ul, #topnav li.sfhover ul ul ul {
	left: -999em;
}

#topnav li:hover ul, #topnav li li:hover ul, #topnav li li li:hover ul, #topnav li.sfhover ul, #topnav li li.sfhover ul, #topnav li li li.sfhover ul {
	left: auto;
}

#topnav li:hover, #topnav li.sfhover {
	background: #C28B8B;
}

Hello
