Issues with Liferay 6.1 and IE7 Classic Theme Child Menu Items https://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_thread?p_l_id=119785294&threadId=14957532 2026-06-22T10:49:47Z 2026-06-22T10:49:47Z David Kubitza https://liferay.dev/c/message_boards/find_message?p_l_id=119785294&messageId=21344212 2013-02-08T07:19:00Z 2013-02-08T07:19:00Z

Did you solve this problem?<br /><br />I have the same issue and it&#39;s not related to the admin role but to UPDATE permissions on the current page. These permissions show up some new script that manipulates the menu.<br /><br />If you change this line it will work fine again: https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/master/portal-web/docroot/html/common/themes/bottom_js.jspf#L160<br /><br />Btw.: You don&#39;t need a sub menu for &#34;Home&#34; the issue will stay the same even without, it will just not be so clearly visible what is happening.

Another discovery. This behaviour only occurs when you are logged in with admin privileges.

Hi Hitoshi,<br /><br />Thank you for your response.<br /><br />Yes - this is on an unmodified downloaded version of Liferay 6.1 viewed with IE7. To confirm this, I&#39;ve just performed the following steps:<br /><br />1) Re-install Liferay 6.1 (i.e. liferay-portal-tomcat-6.1.0-ce-ga1-20120106155615760)<br />2) Build the menu structure within the Control Panel<br /><br />i.e. Control Panel -&gt; Site Pages -&gt; Public Pages:<br />Welcome<br /> -&gt; welcome1 (child page)<br /> -&gt; welcome2 (child page)<br />Menu2<br />Menu3<br />Menu4<br />Menu5<br /> -&gt; Menu51 (child page)<br /> -&gt; Menu52 (child page)<br /> -&gt; Menu53 (child page)<br /><br />3) Go Back to Liferay (Public Pages)<br />4) Click on Menu53 with the following results (as viewed in IE7 using Microsoft expression OR IE8 using a virtual server):<br /><img src="http://www.rakkatak.com/myfiles/liferay6.1/ie7_classictheme2.jpg" /><br /><br />*** New discovery ***:<br />When viewing the above menu as an unauthenticated user, the same results did not occur (see image below). Is there another theme used for unauthenticated users? <br /><img src="http://www.rakkatak.com/myfiles/liferay6.1/ie7_classictheme2_unauthenticated.jpg" /><br />I did find however that in IE7 the menu structure did slip behind the welcome portal (a defect that I&#39;ve read about for IE7). In IE8 this works fine.<br /><br />Please let me know if you can shed any light on this situation. Thank you,<br /><br />Anita

Sorry but I haven&#39;t this error before. Did you modify anything or is this the downloaded liferay without changing anything (ie. no change in theme nor any other settings)?

<strong>Description of problem:</strong><br /><br />I am using Liferay 6.1.10 and we need to support IE7. It seems that there is some odd behaviour when child menu items are clicked. In Figure 1 (Chrome + classic theme), a menu item is clicked and normal behaviour occurs. In Figure 2 (IE7 + classic theme), when a child menu item is clicked it seems that the “Home” menu opens automatically. The &#34;Home&#34; menu automatically opens when clicking on any child menu item that does not have &#34;Home&#34; as a parent.<br /><br />Please note: no customizations have been added to the classic theme.<br /><br />If anyone knows of a fix for this issue, please let me know. Thank you.<br /><img src="http://www.rakkatak.com/myfiles/liferay6.1/chrome_classictheme.jpg" /><br />Figure 1: Chrome + classic theme<br /><br /><img src="http://www.rakkatak.com/myfiles/liferay6.1/ie7_classictheme.jpg" /> <br />Figure 2: IE7 + classic theme (as viewed in Microsoft expression)
