Menu problems in Mac:Explorer (OSX including Jaguar version)

The menu doesn't display properly when viewed in Mac:Explorer (tested on OSX). All menu items become skewed, and vertical menu's stretch out to 100% of the horiztonal screen real estate.

Any ideas as to why?

Pop me a URL over to gillett __at__ tiggr.com (so I remember to do it - stuck on XP here at work), and I'll take a look tonight. There have already been a number of problems reported with IE/X (it's basically garbage), but it beats NS so we're stuck with it.

Try http://www.chr.com.au

You'll notice (if you're using Mac:Explorer on OSX) that the menus stretch right across the screen instead of being contained with their 120 odd pixel boxes...damn them!

Thanks!

Not home yet, but here on XP/IE I don't see any menus at all! Kinda suspect that when I do get home I won't see them there, either...

Sorry, this link.

Jeepers - menus!

Will see what happens when I get home to X.

As you said - royally screwed! I have no suggestions for you. Andy will be back on Monday, maybe he'll have some ideas.

I have a site at http://westcgi.west.asu.edu/sai/ where the menu does not show up at all under IE/X. It's just an empty white space. But another of my sites at http://www.west.asu.edu/cspc/steps/discover.htm does exactly what it's supposed to do. Another at http://www.west.asu.edu/gowest/meet1.htm (under development) also is functioning properly. The only small problem is they are a few px off after you make the menus follow, but I'm not too worried about that.

Feel free to check my working arrays against yours to see if anything stands out.
