Top Level Menu Widths?


Poster: Maze

Is there a way to control the individual menu "button" widths for the top level?

For instance, if I have 5 menu "buttons" and I want 4 of them to be the same width, but want 1 of them to be wider (because the text in the button is longer), is that possible? I'd like 4 buttons to be 100 wide and 1 button to be 150 wide.

All I see in the "menu_array.js" is the ability to control the overall menu width, and not individual widths.

Noticed that you can control the width of the submenu dropdowns, but doesn't look like the top level gives you the same flexibility.

All/any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

You can pad the menu out with non-breaking spaces.

Code:
& nbsp ; 


But without the spaces

Cheers

Hi Andy,

That seems to work great in IE, but fails badly in NS 4.77

Any other alternatives?

Thanks

It should work fine in Netscape.

Do you have any spaces in the menu text?

Yes.

should "Benefits & Products" be "Benefits& nbsp ;&& nbsp ;Products"? without the spaces?

Yes.

The reason I put the spaces in was because the browser would have interpreted it as a blank space.

"Benefits & Products" should work fine but you might have trouble with the ampersand. If you do use
Code:
"& amp ;"
again - without the spaces.

Cheers
