Browsers used: IE6, FF3.0.1, Opera 9.51 all on xp. There is a firewall which sometimes causes funky results so I wouldn't worry too much here unless somebody else confirms what I see. Don't see a drop. The left "Navigate" items move a little because of the change in the icon but that's a left-right movement. In FF the menu doesn't reset if you go to "Adversity" and return via the back arrow. Does fine in the other two. But there are a number of other issues. The foundation1 page, that you asked about has problems with the tabs for the horizontal main menu.The headings such as "Our Philosophy" are longer than the tabs so the background showson the right end. The tabs don't cover the entire width of any of the spaces between the vetical separators. Compared to other pages the text is too far left. And none of the tabs produce the sub-menu in IE6. The other two browsers to get the submenu. In Opera, the flash next to the logo is actually below the logo but above the horizontal menu. It creates a whole new space for itself. The mahagony box (if that is the color) is there; it is just empty. In FF the submenus apprear across the face of the main horizontal menu on pages other than your problem page. Companing code on the problem page and others is interesting. Only 11 html errors and most of those are flash related (which says all that needs to be said about flash and standards) and 4 css error. Two of the errors involve the use of illegal negative padding on div.sdmenu and div.sdmenu div a. Killing both seems to make no visible difference in FF. Can't be sure of the effects elsewhere. formmail!!!!! Oh I hope it is at least the more secure version not Matt's. Deprecated elements. Tables. The DW generated page "Our Philospohy" on the other hand has 231 errors and 33 warning for html and 4 css errors. Just hate it when the errors are intricate enough to make it all work; including the 5 style sheets courtesy of DW. Can't find a quick solution to the horizontal bar. I'm curious to see if this is just the firewall here that causes it or if others see the same issues. I'll check later when I don't have the firewall to contend with. drew ____ The WDVL Discussion List from WDVL.COM ____ To Join wdvltalk, Send An Email To: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] or use the web interface http://e-newsletters.internet.com/discussionlists.html/ Send Your Posts To: [email protected] To change subscription settings, add a password or view the web interface: http://intm-dl.sparklist.com/read/?forum=wdvltalk ________________ http://www.wdvl.com _______________________ You are currently subscribed to wdvltalk as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe via postal mail, please contact us at: Jupitermedia Corp.
