Please take a look at the following test page:
http://www.pottersignal.com/sales_test.aspx
Notice that if you expand or contract the page the horizontal menu at the
top of the page expands and contracts with it. How can I fix this?
Also, please ignore the tabulated structure of the website overall. This
is
an inherited project and I am working on transitioning to a semantic
layout,
but that will take quite some time. Is there anyway to fix this issue
now?
Thanks!
Your menu ul is quite happily doing its own thing in relation to the rest
of the page, thanks to its absolute positioning.
It would seem to be perverse to attempt to manipulate the CSS by hacking
at it considering that your intention is to rewrite the page to eliminate
the tables.
A longer term, and probably faster solution might be to get rid of the
'header' table now, and incorporate the menu into a more semantic
xhtml/css solution.
A new header could be as simple as a div placed above the rest of the
table areas, float your logo left, and the other two navs can be cleanly
positioned to the right using simple css.
Rebuilding the header area should not interfere with your other tables -
(much)
Out of topic range for this list, but your 'header table' does not end in
the html where your comments say it should, this may be what has messed up
your menu as it stands. Was the css positioning perhaps a hack to correct
that error?
