hi, (sorry for my english but I'm not very good to write in this language ... I'm an Italian boy)

I have just tried to make a menu with "DTHML menu builder", but when I open the page with Opera browser I have some problem about the shape of it.

In particular if I create an horizontal menu of 30px height and with a padding of 6 px for the text the menu becomes 36px height but the border doesn't surround it (It remain of 30px height) ... so if you put a top padding it increase the height of the menu , but only with opera

Can somebody help me????

Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bye from italy

Can you give us a link to the site, so we can see what is happening?

I have Firefox and Opera on my computer, so I can see any differences, and MAYBE figure out something.

Hi, I have still some problems about the way the menu appears in Opera, for this reason I have created a page in order to explain you my problems.

Plese visit www.supermix01.altervista.org

Have somebody the same problem?
Is there somebody who menages to see the menu in the same way with Opera, Firefox and Explorer?
Can somebody post me the part of code under "DO NOT EDIT ANYTHING BELOW THIS LINE - IT WILL BREAK THE SCRIPT !" (only if the menu appears the same with the three browser)!

You are using an older version of the DHTML menu. Please try uninstalling, downloading the new version, rebooting, and then installing the latest version and see if that helps.

Yes, I do have links to web sites using the DHTML Menu.

This is a link to a horizontal menu: http://www.brighterdaycharities.org/

or http://www.roberson-family.com/ is another.

The only real issue I have noticed is Opera puts a little more empty space above the menu on http://www.roberson-family.com/ but that does not bother me. But I must tell you that I am using a modified DAT file for the DHTML Menu program. Another user helped me with that (I couldn't have done it on my own).

Here's the dat file:

Looking at your page I can see your incomplete doctype will cause the broken box model in IE, and you're also mixing xhmtl and html.

You have this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

But you should have this:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
