Is there a change in style for submenu position or did they all move to the left in 5.1?

No problems here with 5.01. They're all still as they were.

I removed all positioning on the submenu, reloaded the menu, still all submenu's are up against the left of the browser.

Still no change, when I look at the forum menu its thinner, initially I was trying to make the menu as narrow as possible, so it must be picking up line height from css which it wasn't before at least in Safari.

But both are opening submenus on the left side of the browser which makes it very difficult to open before it closes again.

I did a Mac browser check,

Firebird works fine,

Safari submenu aligned left.

IE no center position, no submenu.

Just to add..

opera 6.05/Win2k same effect.... submenus all alined to the left of the window. Also, mouseover effects remain in place after mouseout from a menu item.

And, Opera 6.05 also blinks visible invisible as it loads images, images loading menu disapears, as soon as the image loads it appears and then immediately disappears if another image is loading. lol.... interestingNow, i don't know if that's when it's loading any images that are in the menu, or if it's doing it for the page images

Andy, the post from Ruth sounds similar to what I was showing you on our hookup that day with the https page. Possible connection?

And, playing around checking things in Opera 6.05, the screenposition works for the submenus...and any submenu coming off another submenu opens right next to the item that called it but it takes whatever top position you set for the main menu. In the vertical menu, the submenus open right next to it, but again they all take whatever top position is set for the main menu.

Well, rats Just put 5.01 on my personal site and I now confirm all sub-menus moved flush left (in Safari1.2).

IE5.2.3/Mac (please - don't tell my system I used it!) doesn't drop the sub-menus at all.

A fix is on its way for 5.02.

Great!

Thank you Andy

FYI: I played around with giving body an id and putting the menu in head, it was still picking up body tag. Have you considered introducing line height to counterreact effects, or a css font style "12px/12px arial"?

Just hope I don't regret saying this if it introduces more problems.

I fixed the line height using style.css

body td{
line-height: 1em;
}

But off course that regulates all my tables too, but I have no user tables.

I wonder how many styles would work via this interesting little hole

....amazing, I can get border bottom, whole menu border, this could be handy.

Andy, anyway to id the td? like td.milonic or milonic#td
(logically its only permitted to use id (#) once on a page)

5.02 definitely fixed the flush-left sub-menu problem. As usual it was only happening on some browsers.

Thanks, Boss...

Yes, thanks for the fix

I don't want to start another thread on a different problem that started a couple of RC's back.

The form element off color is black, oncolor is oncolor.

Then submenu link to form became black, oncolor is oncolor.

Now I notice in Firebird that due to transparent bgcolor/onbgcolor that on mouseover the page text is showing through the whole submenu where there is a link to form and form itself.

Originally I noticed header offcolor black and no bgcolor because nothing replaced transparnet bgcolor/image, I removed headers, so this is probably a chain reaction from header (where bgcolor is transparent) used with bgimage, (like when you changed the url ssi or visited) the link to form is picking up a change.


Thanks,
maz
