Slide Effect problem in IE 7 only

Question

I am using the Spry Slide Effect as a way of initially hiding
a drop down menu:
Click on menu of products:
http://www.adelantedesign.co.uk/clients/showpiece/menu.asp
I use:
.hideInitially{
display: none;
as recommended here though there is no working example using
display: none; only visibility: hidden
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/effects/slide_sample.html
Using initial state of dispay: none it displays NOTHING! Is
this a bug in IE 7?
Anyone come across this problem.
Anyone got a fix?
Thanks
Rich

Answer 1

Actually, since EPM allows page links as well as Panel
triggers, you can do
your whole menu bar in EPM using real triggers and you would
then have all
the benefits of state management for those links. That is,
when you click
the "Menu of Products" link to expand the elevator, the link
would adapt an
open state style class.
