[WSG] Horizontal Menu- Site Check
Hi all, I have a large site launch in a few days at a big show in Germany. Now I have the top menu with a 10-12px gap at the end which I cannot remove no matter what I do. Its only in IE (figures). If I try making it wider it breaks, and is perfect in FF. It has to be a padding issue but cannot figure it out. Page is fixed width, 770px. html and css is here: http://www.bkdesign.ca/menu.txt Site: http://69.94.122.44/new.php?/caribbean/category/antiqua/ If anyone has an idea it would be really appreciated.

Hi Bruce, I think you are looking in the wrong place. The issue is not with your menu!! It looks to me like your 3rd column is pushing the maincontainer out beyond it's intended width of 770px. Good luck!!

Re: [WSG] Horizontal Menu- Site Check Fixed
Now I know why I never write in. Ten minutes after sending this I found the problem,,, rather fixed it. Overflow hidden on the wrapper did the trick, something was forcing the site wider. Spent hours not being able to fix it, write to the list and find it in ten minutes. Conclusion? Looks like the way to fix the unsolvable is to write to the group, even if no body answers the answer comes anyways lol Bruce - Original Message - From: Bruce To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Sent: Thursday, March 09, 2006 3:10 AM Subject: [WSG] Horizontal Menu- Site Check Hi all, I have a large site launch in a few days at a big show in Germany.

I do have a bug report for you. Firefox 1.0.x/Linux (and presumably on every other platform, and probably 1.5 also) your menubase.gif background for the Destinations menu (left column) really isn't working too well. I sized the text up and down and still couldn't get it to match the lines in the background image. You probably should seriously think about putting that background on the LI instead, because it's... moderately broken at the minute (I imagine it could/would also be broken in IE at non-default (or even default) text sizes, too). That aside, I like the site... especially the front page... nifty boxes!

I noticed just after I posted that it wasn't the menu as front page was fine. Am checking widths Overflow hidden fixed, but that isn't really a fix. Thanks!!

I have no idea what you mean when disabling css and the boxes on main page, they are all background images in the stylesheet so when I disable styles they dont show... Feedback is appreciated thanks! This one was a big job and continuing but very close to releasable..
