I think this is the IE7/Win Recalculated Offset Bug [1] but I'm not sure why
IE6 would be affected. You are only refereeing to IE7 aren't you. IE "version"
number is sometimes crucial to mention when asking for IE bug behavior help.
Change:
.dropdown {
left: -3000px;
}
to
.dropdown {
left: -3000%;
}
and that should hopefully work.
BTW, there are much simpler methods to add background to menus like this by
just giving the backgrounds to either the anchors <a>, list items <li> or <ul>.
At this moment you are doing this with divs.
Another thing have done is frozen the font size in IE [2] so you page can cope
with a minimum width of 800px. This you may wish to reconsider since one text
size up destroys the layout in Firefox, Opera, and Safari. You may want to look
at a few other menu options [3] [4] but be warned these allow you to resize the
text for accessibility thus expanding the menu in all directions. I haven't
checked the page in IE6, I will gladly leave that for someone else :-)
