I downloaded the latest version 5.31a menu sample 2 yesterday. The vertical menu not left align on Netscape 6.2 and Safari 1.2 browser. The vertical menu left align on IE6, Netscape 4.75 and Mozilla 1.7 browsers.

What is the problem? How can I fix it? Any idea?

What do you mean by left align? You have the menu set to left=165; so the menu will be 165 pixels from the left side of the browser. Could you say where the left side of the menu is supposed to be in relation to the word Together? That is, is the menu supposed to be all the way to the left, is the left side of the menu supposed to be even with the beginning of that word?

On my system the following change worked...


Also (not part of the problem), you have...

...etc., which is not a JS comment. Change those to...

...etc.

I can't get to it, your paths should start with a slash leaving off the ...

You appear to have an auto margin, so you can't use left because it will change with the browser size.

screenposition="center";

that will center the menu, then offset the menu from the center.

left="offset=-260px";

To send it back 260px to the left.

Thanks for Ruth, John and Maz's input!

Ruth- I mean the menu left align from the left side of different browsers.
John- left 127; doesn't work. The JS comment has been changed to // in the JS. Thanks for the tips.
Maz- screenposition="center"; left="offset=-244px"; works! I did test on changing the path .. to absolute path, result the same.

I test on a simple layout. Netscape 4.75 off one pixel. I haven't test on the Mac and Safari yet. Netscape 6.2, IE6 and Mozilla 1.7 works fine.

However, I will recode the html on this page http://www.santacruzholiday.com/webstuf ... _test.html, somehow the menu didn't fit on different browsers.

Thanks again!

That's very interesting. I downloaded your home page and _data file to my server, but called everything else from your site. Worked just fine.

This was on Safari. I did have to do a couple page reloads to get the browser to recognize the change (hold down Shift and hit reload). Stumped me for a while, because nothing I tried was making any difference.

Its right on target in Safari, on the left edge.

You might want to preload images, but I can't remember how you do that.

This is the changes I made on the home_menu3.js:
screenposition="center";
left="offset=-244px";

It works!

Yes its correect and working, but its very sluggish, preloading images might help.
