IE7 - modules menu and calendar

Since I installed MS Internet Explorer 7 (Resized Image) the width of the Modules dropdown menu takes up all the screen width to the left, see picture below.

Resized Image

It happens only with the Modules dropdown menu, not with the other menu's.
I've tried different themes for the admin panel, but the problem exists in all themes.
My site uses XOOPS 2.2.4, but the problem exists with XOOPS 2.2.5 RC1 also.

Another weird thing is the calendar as it is used in most modules for adding dates.
For i.e. in eXtCal the calendar is at the bottom of the page. When I click the calendar button I don't see the calendar appearing unless I scroll the page back to the top.
For some reason the calendar is placed at the top of a page in IE7.

I don't think these problems are caused by XOOPS (not sure...) because they don't happen with IE6, FireFox or Opera.


Does anybody have a solution to fix the above mentioned problems with IE7?

am not familiar with XOOPS 2.2 or explorer 7, but the same problem happens with Sothink DHTML menu's when placed inside a XOOPS theme.

if the problem comes from the same root as this, the css of the dropdown should be added a width to hold the dropdown in it's place.

in the case of sothink's menu's this is the solution:
.st_tbcss{border:none;padding:0px;margin:0px; width: 140px;}

in your case, try looking into the css of the menu, it is more likely a style property (a width) that is missing than one that needs to be changed

It's not related to a module.
The picture in my 1st post is of a fresh install of XOOPS 2.2.5 rc1 with only Extended Profiles module installed.
It's not related to one theme only, but to all themes.
Will check if there's a common css or so for all admin themes.

I'm not sure, if there's another solution in the wild, but i solved it by editing style.css from default theme.

Find
.NavMenu hr{height: 1px;width: 90%;border: 0px none;color: #24237f;background-color: #24237f;}
and change it to
.NavMenu hr{height: 1px;width: 140px;border: 0px none;color: #24237f;background-color: #24237f;}


Hope this helps other IE7 Users to fix the admin menu problem.

GTX,

Werner.

I solved the menu problem by removing
<hr />
(appr. line 35) from the file /themes/default/navigation/theme_adminnav.html

There's no solution for the problem with the calendar yet.

Thanks

I had the same IE7 problem with the Modules menu, and changing the width attribute for .NavMenu hr{} from 90% to 140px in style.css fixed it.
