Hello all,

I have used Bill's tip..........<span id="themenu"> & it works for IE but not FF
Thx. in advance

Henry,
I have had a little problem following your code. Here is something that I think may be a problem:
<tr>
<td width="766" style="height:339px" height="484">
<table width="934" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="700">
It looks like you are putting a 934px width table inside a 766px width cell.
I don't use tables for general page layout, so I could just be missing what is happening. Bill R.

i hadn't notice that part but the issue is with the drop down tab which is under "iPortfolio" on IE it's fine but on FF it's completely off to the right of the screen when i adjust the "var StartLeft" it will look fie in FF but to far to the left in IE
I hope that helps

Whatever version of IE you are using, it is in quirks mode and will display code differently than any browser that follows the standards
Try validating your page, and fix the errors that are found, and see what happens. You may find that when IE is in standards mode, it will look very much like Firefox. Bill R.

I was wondering if a solution was found for this. I want to have various drop down boxes on my home page but not in the navigation area. The drop down works in IE but it's way off to the left at the top, in Firefox, there is just a linkable box, no drop down and it's all the way to the left in the middle. My site is as yet unpublished and this is what is holding me up.

Marcia,
Do you have a host at this time? If so, you can upload a page named test.html and see how the menu actually works from a web server.
What program are you using to build your site? Bill R.

Well, I downloaded the dhtmlfix file and now the menu does drop down in firefox but I just now need to get it in position on the page. Can this be placed in a table on the page?

Marcia,
Sorry I did not get back sooner. Vacation and family time took longer than I expected.
I don't do much with tables unless I need tabular data displayed. The help pages describe how to position the menu in various ways. My personal favorite is to use div tags and css to control the positioning of content on my pages. I just have a <div id="nav"> menu code here </div> and then use CSS to get things in place.
I have developed a habit of placing my code in the order I want it to appear. I start with something like a masthead division for everything at the top of all pages, then I put in my nav division, followed by content divisions and finish with a footer division.
If you want to publish your page or attach the code, I can try to help you get the menu to display where you want it located. Bill R.
