Related to: ColdFusion 8.01, cfmenu, css
Let’s cut to the chase. Styling cfmenu can be a freakin’ pain in the ass. The Adobe docs are virtually useless in this respect. The tag itself renders differently with respect to different versions of the JRE you may be running. For example, we upgraded from CF8 to [...]
