Jim,

My reason for using the CC DHTML menu was the flexibility of that program. I have not had occasion to test how many sub menus it can have, and I have seen that it can have far more root menu items than I can imagine using.

I think the CC HTML Editor 2009 CSS Menu may be almost as flexible, and I am preparing to start using it. I have it setup so it looks very much like my DHTML menu.

Hooray!
Thanks for the input guys.
The DAT file obviously makes a difference and I had to add the Targetloc as 'navigation'.
I now have my DHTML menu working in Opera, FF,Google chrome and IE7.
IE6 still plays silly games with the page layout but I'm told that's how ie6 is.
I appreciate your patience with my frustration.

Thanks again. Until my next dilemma.....
Brian

Hello again...
Any suggestions as to how to overcome ie6 rearranginging my page. Also, I'ts been reported to me that the mouse over functions aren't working in ie6.
I'm keen to fix these isues (but not risk altering page layout in the other browsers). It seems there are still plenty of people using ie6.
Thanks,
Brian

Brian,

My experience with IE6 is that I need to allow for it to have extra width. I designed a site with floats, and everything looked great in all browsers except IE6. IE6 pushed the third column down below the other two columns. I shrank each column by a few px, and it worked. Now on all browsers except IE6, there is a slightly wider margin on the far right.

That may not solve your problem, but if you do some research on IE6 and the CSS box model, you may find your solution.

Maybe this will help?

Btw the only thing I notice between Firefox and IE is that in Firefox the video at the bottom right of your page completely dissapears. It's not mis-aligned, it's just not there

Hello Brian,

I looked at your web site using both Firefox and IE and the only difference I saw was the menu shifting from left to right when I re sized the screen on my end. I looked at your source code and I noticed that you did not have a defined positioning for your menu and this may be the cause of why your menu goes with the flow (shifts from left to right and vice a verse when the screen gets re sized).

The following instructions could help you resolve your issue (these instructions and many more can be found at http://www.coffeecup.com/help):

http://www.coffeecup.com/help/articles/ … variables/

TargetLoc
Text string: Enables relative positioning of the menu.
1. Place a named div in the HTML file where the menu is displayed:
<div id='MenuPos' style='position:relative'></div>
2. Set TargetLoc to 'MenuPos'.
3. Set MenuCentered to 'left', MenuVerticalCentered to 'top' and StartTop and StartLeft to 0.
4. StartTop, StartLeft and the Menu center variables can still be used to get an offset from the <div>.

Note: This feature can be difficult to use because of the different ways browsers interpret the pageX and pageY offset. The best results can be achieved by putting the div inside a table, giving the div the same dimensions as the first level of the menu, and putting a transparent image inside the div with the same dimensions as the first level of the menu.

<table>
<tr><td>
<div id='MenuPos' style='position:relative; width:102; height:102;'><img src='transparent.gif' width='102' height='102'></div>
</td></tr>
</table>

My next suggestion would be updating your internet browsers and/or downloading the latest version and see if this will help. Many internet browsers display web pages differently depending on how old they are or if they are up to date.

Hope this helps!!!...

Thanks for the suggestion.
I was happy to get the menu to work at all in FF. Getting it in the right place would be a bonus. I'll experiment with your advice.
Thanks.
Brian
