Question

I hover over my menu and a submenu expands, then this bad boy comes accross the screen. Is there something I can do in my website to prevent this?

IE6

aspx

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Templates/MyPage.master" AutoEventWireup="true"
    CodeFile="Tasks.aspx.cs" Inherits="UI_MyPage_Tasks" %>

<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="Server">
    <table>
        <tr valign="top">
            <td>
                <asp:Menu ID="menu1" runat="server" OnMenuItemClick="menu1_MenuItemClick" />
            </td>
            <td>
                <cc:CustomUserControl ID="cuc1" runat="server" />
            </td>
        </tr>
    </table>

        foreach (CustomObject co in (from c in db.CustomObjects where c.RoleID == roleID orderby c.SortOrder select c))
            main.ChildItems.Add(new MenuItem(co.Description, co.CustomObjectID.ToString()));
        return main;
    }

    protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        if (!Page.IsPostBack)
        {
            menu1.Items.Clear();
            if (User.IsInRole(Common.Role.UserRole1))

        int id;
        if (int.TryParse(e.Item.Value, out id))
        {
            cuc1.CustomObjectID = id;
        }
    }
}

    </asp:Content>

It looks like you’re serving your site over ssl (i.e. https://) but serving some of the content, almost certainly something in the menu – such as an image over http://, hence you’re receiving the “mixed mode” warning.

Review the markup for your menu and look for any http:// URLs in the .aspx page (or possibly your codebehind if you build the menu dynamically) where there should be https:// or vice-versa.
