I'm just beginning work on a new site, and the hover state of the menu (SolPart) is driving me insane.
 
http://mcpherson2006.11.websecurestores.com/
 
If you hover over the menu, you'll notice that a partial border appears.  I've tinkered with the CSS in every way I can think of, but I can't seem to find the cause for this.  It didn't appear when I ran the site locally.  It began once I uploaded to the server.  Was there a recent change to the solpartmenu?  I just can't figure out what is causing this.

If it's any help, here's the CSS for the menu:

/*-- box that holds the menu  --*/ .MainMenu_MenuContainer
{
background-color: transparent;  width: 191px; }

/*-- bar that holds the menu  --*/ .MainMenu_MenuBar
{
cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; background: #fff;  width: 199px; }

/*-- submenu container        --*/ .MainMenu_SubMenu, .ModuleTitle_SubMenu
{
z-index: 1000;  cursor: pointer;  cursor: hand; margin: 0 0 0 1px; background: #f3f3f3; padding: 0px; border: 1px solid #999; font-weight: normal; filter: none; }

/*-- submenu items idle       --*/ .MainMenu_MenuItem, .ModuleTitle_MenuItem
{
font-family: tahoma;  color: #6A6A6A; font-size: 11px; background: #f3f3f3; font-weight: bold; font-style: normal; padding: 0px 30px 0px 16px; height: 20px; border: 0; }

/*-- submenu items hover      --*/ .MainMenu_MenuItemSel, .ModuleTitle_MenuItemSel
{
font-family: tahoma; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; cursor: hand; color: #4F4F4F; background: #DCDCDC; padding: 0px 30px 0px 16px; height: 20px; border: 0;}

/*-- menuitems idle           --*/ .MainMenu_Idle
{
color: #666; background:  url(nav_idle.gif) no-repeat; padding: 0; height: 30px; font-weight: bold;}

/*-- menuitems over           --*/ .MainMenu_Selected
{
color: #666; background:  url(nav_over.gif) no-repeat; padding: 0; height: 30px; font-weight: bold;}

/*-- menuitems active         --*/ .MainMenu_Active, .MainMenu_BreadcrumbActive {
color: #666; background:  url(nav_active.gif) no-repeat; padding: 0; height: 30px; font-weight: bold;}

/*-- not needed - main menu   --*/ .MainMenu_MenuArrow, .MainMenu_RootMenuArrow, .MainMenu_MenuIcon 
{ display: none; }

/*-- module menu continer     --*/ .ModuleTitle_MenuContainer
{ color: #2c2c2c; }

/*-- module menu bar          --*/ .ModuleTitle_MenuBar
{ cursor: pointer; cursor: hand;}

/*-- module menu padding      --*/ .ModuleTitle_MenuItem, .ModuleTitle_MenuItemSel
{ padding: 0 5px 0 0; }

/*-- not needed - module menu --*/ .ModuleTitle_MenuBreak, .MainMenuSeperator,.MainMenu_MenuBreak, .ModuleTitle_MenuArrow, .ModuleTitle_RootMenuArrow, .ModuleTitle_MenuIcon
{ display: none; }

If any see's my problem, I would be eternally greatful!

I am not a CSS guru...sorry.  I have had the same problem with the solpart menu when it is employed vertically.  I am not sure what it is, but it is bad enough not to use it when needing a vertical menu.  Check out SnowCovered for other menu options.  A few dollars well spent will go a long way to curing your insanity.

Thanks for the response Linguinut.  If I can't figure out how to correct this is short order, I may have to take your advice.  Any particular menu system that you recommend?

Here are several to consider...all are inexpensive:

1.  Inventua SideMenu (www.inventua.com) $29.95 on SnowCovered
2. 
HouseMenu Professional 1.x (www.houseofnuke.com) $35.00 on SnowCovered
3.  Snapsis CSS NavMenu 1.5 (www.snapsis.com) $24.95 on SnowCovered

Check 'em out and see what fits you and your client the best.

Have fun!

I happened to experience this. Here is a few tips I use when debugging :

- often borders are in fact backgrounds and not real borders, check this

- I avoid transparencies when I debug. Instead, I use flashy colors (green, magenta, etc) so I easily identify what's wrong

- I name colors when debugging

- I suppress all margins or padding

- I use a single css for the whole portal. Overlapping css's is a main cause of my headaches with css

are you guys getting the "growing menu" syndrome? if so, we were able to fix this issue on all of our menus by simply pre-building the borders! we didn't really want any borders, so we simply used the same color as the background of the menu......NOTE: in order for this to work, you must install a border around every componant of the solpart menu

I understand your problem. I also use this skin on my site (www.dontnetnuke-websites.nl) and and changing it is sort of a problem. If you send me your skin.css file and the associated ???.ascx file your using. I will look into it.

Thank you.  I'll gladly take all the help I can get at this point.  It's kind of embarrasing really - they requested such a simple menu, and I can't get the darned thing to work properly.  Like I said it works great on my local machine, and on a test server I have at webhost4life... but when I upload it to my "real" server... the menu takes a dump.  Different version of SOLPARTMENU maybe?  I can't figure it out.

Peter, I just zipped up the css and associated aspx... but I realized I don't know where to send it.

Thanks
