Pete, You might be better to start again. The author is fooling around with background images for the menu, making the text disappear with a span. Farhner image replacement? Better to give that the boot. -Hugh PS No idea why IE Mac isn't seeing the images.

Re: [WSG] IE5 Mac Doosey
Thanks Hugh but the client doesn't want to pay for that at this stage. He just wants to get it 'fixed' to work in IE5 Mac. Bummer I know.

Thanks anyway. Any other ideas folks?
I have got a similar problem with IE5.2 on the Mac
A navigation bar (div id=one) that is horiziontal on all other browsers is vertical
in IE5.2 on the Mac.
Fortunately another very similar navigation bar (div id=two) worked as expected.
The difference between the two was the holding div (div id=one) was absolute
positioned inside a relative position div. Where as (div id=two) was a relative
positioned inside a relative position div. Changing (div id=one) to relative
positioned fixed the problem.
What the problem appears to be is IE5.2 on Mac can not float items that are inside a
absolutely positioned div.

The code if any one is interested.

width: auto;
clear: both;
height: 1.8em;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#one span {
display: block;
width: 7em;
float: left;
padding: 0.3em 0 0.3em 0;
}
#one a {
/* main links */
height: 1%;

Curses, still no luck! No absolute positioning in this case. Help me obiwan! I've run out of ideas!

Re: [WSG] IE5 Mac Doosey
Peter yes it doesn't show in IE5 Mac and this bowser is very touchy with heights in percents. I think you need to define the height in #mainnav and remove the height and width 100% from the descendant a> element but I'd also scrap display block and let your li>s flow inline. The links are probably there in block but the hidden overflow rule is hiding them. Safari is showing them but it is a much more forgiving browser.

Re: [WSG] IE5 Mac Doosey
Pete, Try taking out all the overflow: hidden and see what happens. -Hugh Curses, still no luck! No absolute positioning in this case. Help me obiwan!

Once again the remarkable Hugh comes through with the goods. Hugh, you deserve a knighthood. Why does this work? I don't know! And frankly ... I don't care! ;) Thanks mate Peter On 24/03/2004, at 3:18 PM, Hugh Todd wrote: Pete, Try taking out all the overflow: hidden and see what happens. x-tad-bigger /x-tad-biggerUniversal Head Design That Works. 7/43 Bridge Rd Stanmore NSW 2048 Australia T (+612) 9517 1466 F (+612) 9565 4747 E [EMAIL PROTECTED] W www.universalhead.com
