   Hi All,

   Does anyone have a solution for displaying the Hybrid News drop down menus (which displays the sub-categories) in i.e.6 ?

   Partially related - I am trying to add a custom blurb at the top of each of our parent category pages - if i was able to do this I could list the separate sub categories within said blurb - nullifying my need for the drop-downs to work in i.e.6.

   Any help or suggestions any of you could provide would be much appreciated.

   Justin - love your work!

   Kind Regards,

   Tom

   P.S. In trying to search the forums for an answer I saw a great quote from Justin: "As for IE6 compatibility, I'd just drop it altogether. The only way to get some people to upgrade is to stop catering to old, insecure browsers. " Whilst I usually couldn't agree more, in this instance the blog is intended for city workers in large firms, with 40% of our visitors forced to use this heap of junk browser, so I would be grateful if anyone could help me enhance their poor ignorant viewing experience.

   I believe I've read Justin say that the dropdowns are compatible with IE 6 - have you made any changes that might be causing problems?

   Thanks Kyle - right you are - my apologies - I should have checked the latest demo first.

   However - could this be down to updated theme files? - we are using News 0.1.1 and Hybrid 0.5.1 - does anyone know which needs updating to enable the drop downs in i.e.6? We have done loads of customisation (though nothing i can think of which would affect this) - I am therefore reluctant to update.

   Also any suggestions for the blurb space would be fantastic!

   many thanks,

   Tom

   Thanks Justin - will seek to do so ASAP.

   Any advice anyone has on adding a blurb section to the category pages would be appreciated.

   Kind Regards,

   Tom

   When you say 'blurb' - what exactly do you mean? You can give your category a description, and have that appear? Would that do the trick?

   You see - now I feel like an idiot - to think I have been using this theme for over a year. Hybrid simply puts all other themes to shame

   Thank you both for all your help.
