Interet Explorer for Macintosh and Netscape 4

You probably don't give a crap about these browsers. There aren't many people using them these days.

However, if you do care about Mac IE and NS4, here's what you must do to make GlideMenus work in these browsers.

Mac IE

Mac IE needs to have a width, height, and z-index set for each menu.

Step 1

Open the file ns4_macie_menus.css.

Step 2

Create a css rule for your menu and assign a property value for width and height. Lets say your menu is named "products". You'll create a rule like this:

#products { 
    width: 300px;
    height: 190px;
    z-index: 10;
}
		

Test it out and see if it looks right. If it looks halfway decent, you're done with mac IE.

Netscape 4

Netscape 4 needs clip values.

Step 1

Open the file ns4_macie_menus.css.

Step 3

Create property values for clip and z-index:

#products { 
    width: 300px;
    height: 190px;
    z-index: 10;
	
    clip: rect(0, 300, 190, 0);
}
 

Notice that the second clip value is equal to the width and the third value is equal to the height. The other values should be 0.

Netscape 4 does not need a unit, so don't use "px" after the clip values -- you don't want some other good browser arbitrarily reading those values!
