20867 - CSS drop down menus don't work

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[greg]

1. on drop down menus created with the style properties of absolute position, i
applied a a:hover property to the link which would then overflow to visible
instead of default which is hidden, when the mouse is hovered, the overflow is
not displayed inside the text box but below it...almost unreadable...view my
website for further details
2. on the property no-repeat as to background images, the property acts like
repeat-y
3. text-transform:smallcaps is not applied as it should be

p.s.-more inconsistiencies occur, i'm just not sure if i messed up on some
code, but for these three instances, the code worked absolutely fine on ie5
all instances of style sheets on my web site are uncommented as that would
require extra work...i'm sorry for this inconvience and thank you for the time
in creating a good browser and going through such vigourous tests
p.s.s.-i didn't see a form input but these tests were performed on the m11
browser

Thank you for this information. Could you please submit testcases to show the
problems?

1. I suspect it's invalid because of over-constraints. I'll do a testcase later
if nobody volunteers.

2. It works for me, the background doesn't repeat. Note that the element doesn't
always display the image because you have 'background-attachment:fixed'.

3. Invalid. It should be spelled 'small-caps'.

Changed the title to "CSS drop down menus don't work" from "i play with css and
noticed these incompatibilities". Set milestone to M15.

Moving crufty m14-m15 bugs out to m16 for proper triage.

Old bug... Marking Invalid: the menus work as they should. The additional items 
(like / "is" / "cool") are displayed by making "overflow:visible" and as a result 
they appear on top of the block background instead of making the menu area expand 
like in WinIE5. This is a bug in WinIE5 (which BTW has been fixed in MacIE5). You 
should not use the 'overflow' to display menus in CSS: change the box size 
instead.
