    spry horizontal menu active area in ie

    I Love Doing Websites Community Member

      Hello,

       

      please look at:

       

      http://www.ildw.com/web/ildwnew/template_ildw_2009.html

       

      the mouse has to be on top of the letter to activate the submenu, how can I change that? I want the hit area to be wider! this happens in ie7 not in firefox.

       

      let me give you the code:
