Hello

This issue only happens with menuMatic and with vertical set menus. Basically in all IE browsers the sub-nav-menu didnt show up correctly.

And another thing, when you have link tags inside li tags, you need to float the li tags in IE else you get a hidden spacer there (vertical lists only). and the menu looks very odd. This is old IE6 issue, seems like both IE7 and only IE8 fixed it. Fuck that shit.

Hello

Did it happen that when you use an animation such as fadeIn()/fadeOut() on a LCD screen, that has windows cleratype on (this happens automatically in windows vista+ but can be set on and off in windows XP), on IE (all versions), the text is not antialised anymore. This is due to the filter attribute IE browsers use to make the cleartype/stuff.

The solution is relatively simple, like putting a function callback on the fade in()/fadeOut() such as:

JQuery Code

It’s not a perfect solution, and it may be a bit laggy and you can still SEE THE TEXT BEING CLEARTYPED, but at least it wont stay without cleartype and look like shit. Also this is the only way to do it until jQuery incorporates it’s own fix to counter IE‘s behavior.

What does this do?

This makes your footer stick at the bottom of the page, even if you have little content on the page. This is useful, but of course there are some jQuery alternatives which will be posted in a similar post later on. It’s a very simple, clean, CSS based only solution that works in 90%+ of the cases. Also this works in IE6.

The other solution is 10 times simpler but does not work in Internet Explorer 6. More details below…
