Hi All:

I use Coffee Cup for my small, simple site, www.textarts.com.

I've had a devil of a time tracking down a problem that should be very simple. If you click around on the site's main nav (just below the title), you'll see the site jumps a bit from left to right. I can't for the life of me figure out the problem. If anyone here has time to look at it and offer some learned advice, I would be all ears and very appreciative!

THANKS,
Mark

My guess is that you have been using the html Editor in the visual mode and have made the navigation 'buttons' larger than the actual text. When I click where you said, I have a thin outline of a 'box' which goes up above the horizontal line above the navigation text. So you are actually hitting the nav buttons even up there, right below the heading.

And since the positioning of the heading and everything else is not exactly the same on every page, the site will 'jump'. The three middle buttons are in the same position, and the two outer ones too, but not the same as the three in the middle. If you fix that, the site won't jump.

Thanks for the note, Inger. I don't think that's the problem, though. I used to have an entirely different nav scheme, running down the lefthand side of the page, and it still jumped. The nav I use now is based on images that are twice the height of each element, so the image contains the unclicked and clicked state of the image, and the code just shifts them up and down in that box you're seeing. In any case, as I say, it was jumping before I implemented this nav scheme.

Thanks!
Mark

It's the scroll bar mark

Some of your pages are longer than others which make the scroll bar show up which shifts things to the left. I had this issue a while back and did the same thing you did lol, I worked for like 2 days trying to find it and someone was kind enough to point it out here when I asked so I'll do the same favor back .

I just made my site pages all longer so that they all had a scroll bar to stop this issue

Jo Ann!!! Wow! Brilliant. How could I have missed that scroll bar popping on and off?

I'm going to fix it tonight, and I'll raise a toast in your honor.

THANKS!
Mark

Of course Jo Ann is right! I didn't see that, which I should have I have had some issue with exactly the same thing some time in the past...

Thanks again, folks. Thanks to a bunch of <br> tags, the site's now up and running, jump-free. www.textarts.com

Take care,
Mark

You're quite welcome Mark, am glad I was able to pass that info on that was given to me when I was at my wits end too lol. GL and looks good

How funny - exactly the same thing was happening to me yesterday with the little photography site I was doing. I hadn't noticed that one of the pages contained more images than all the others, and so needed to be scrolled! I guess if someone has a larger screen they won't experience that necessarily.

Maybe a suggestion is in order to CC? An option in the editor, to make all pages same size, as big as the largest page.?
