Menu display issues with IE 5.5 (PC) and IE 5.2.2 (Mac)

I have been testing the menu for use with a site that I will be updating and have come across the following issues:

In IE 5.5 a border exists around the edge of the menu which is not visible on IE 6.1.

On IE 5.2.2 on Mac it is pushing the menu items down to a second line.
The site can be viewed at http://www.wetlandcare.com.au/newlayout6.asp

I have dropped the following script below the menu script (after searching this forum):

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript
src="Scripts/menu_array.js"
type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript
src="Scripts/mmenu.js"
type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
if(mac){
mn=getMenuByName("menu_array")
gm=gmobj("menu"+mn)
gm.style.width=100
}</SCRIPT>

Should "mn=getMenuByName("menu_array") " refer to the array file?

A little off topic, I have also noticed that the IE 5.2.2 ignores the div align tag i.e. <div align="right"><img src="images/misc/Title_News.gif" width="148" height="34"></div>
Is this common or am doing something wrong.?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Hi Stuart,

To answer part of your question, "menu_array" in this case refers to the menu array's name... this would be the name that you give to a menu in the first element of its array. For example, suppose your main menu is called "mainmenu". The function call would be

Hope that helps some,

Thanks Kevin.

I did manage to get the menu working in I.E 5.2.2 for Mac by replacing spaces with "nbsp;". Did notice that if "/" was used between words such as "News/Events" it would also push the second word down a line. By placing a gap beyween the "/" and adding "nbsp;" either side corrected it.

I am still experiencing problems with I.E. 5.5 (PC) adding a border around the menu when the setting is set to "0" and the border colour set to",".

Any ideas???

I could be wrong but the menu appeared to display similar issues in Opera 7.1 (PC) as I.E 5.2.2 for Mac. May be a good testing platform for developers without access to a Mac.
