Mac issues

I am using the vertical navigation bar and, on the Mac, the submenus are appearing a lot lower than on the PC (someone on this board mentioned this problem earlier). Is there any way to fix this? Thanks.

What RC and browser are you using?
New bugs:
In the latest RC Mac ie5.1.7 on the tools menu, vertical followscroll, I've lost separators, sub-submenu xp style is taller than it should be. I'm getting border background repeat down the page on main tools menu.
Top horizontal menu appears okay.
Regards,
maz

The menu is at http://www.cicatelli.org
I'm seeing the problem in IE 5.0.

The main problem I see is that you have embedded the whole menu inside a table cell.
Although this will work fine in all other browsers, Internet Explorer on the Mac will struggle with this due to it's unorthodox method of positioning relative objects.
The solution is to move the menu out of the table altogether.
It would also be a good idea to set the position of your menu with absolute positioning. This is the most cross browser method and one that will give you the best performance.
To do this, move the menu references to just after the <BODY> tag, remove the position="relative"; from the main menu and then set a physical top and left position for the main menu.
Hope this helps
Andy
