Hi, I have a menu on a page which is styled using CSS, the menu works very well
in the browser, except one little annoying thing, the hovering only works when
the the mouse is above the words of the menu ie. Home, About us ...etc. but if
the mouse is to the right of the words (still inside the menu though) the
hovering effect does not work, in other words, I'm unable to select any menu
item unless the mouse is above the word.. any ideas how I can solve this
problem? I'm using DW MX2004
TIA

Tough to diagnose without seeing a real page, but it's likely the
problem you are having is limited to IE Windows and due to a common
hasLayout bug. If you read through the following tutorial, the last
section contains a method to fix this issue in IE.

Could be that your menu items are not using display:block which will make
the entire button area clickable. Hard to say without seeing the code.
