The menu scripts go after body, you can use top and left to position the menu on top of everything.

If you want the menu in a table there are 2 ways of doing it.

Either place <menu-data.js script> in the td or place menu items in td and place the rest of the menu-data.js styles under the rest of the scripts under the body.

Not sure if maybe you are editting the site and its code, but I just pulled up the site in Safari and the menus displayed but were blank. Just FYI.

Yeah I'm messing with a lot - I found the problem (still not solved...) is that when the menu displays over a flash image that is animating it will go behind the flash image on a MAC in any browser.

Oh do a search on the v5 forum for flash and wmode, that might help. I remember maybe setting the wmode of the flash object to transparent or something helped a couple people before. You may have tried it, but I thought I'd mention it.

That did fix the problem on the MAC.

The only other problem I am having when viewing the site from a MAC is the drop down is not directly under the original image, there is a space of about 30 pixels from the first image to the start of the drop down... know anything about that?

Just took a look under OS X 10.3.2/Safari on the Mac (not MAC - Sunday is picky night) and the drop downs are lined up exactly with the left edge of the main menus and flush with the bottom - no gaps.

That's odd - OS X 10.2.X? here there is a gap in IE.. Doesnt even work in Safari at all.

Sorry. Somewhere I missed you were having the problem with IE.

Just looked at it under IE5.2.3 and you are correct - there is a gap. However, on a personal note, I wouldn't fight it. IE is no longer being developed for Mac, and is very quickly being wiped out by Safari. Note also that Safari was updated in Panther.

I would also re-do your code following Maz's suggestion above, rather than having all the calls in the <td>.

height= is depreciated in HTML, so those can go (not that they are causing your problem), and you should really let the browsers know what standard you are writing for.Given your code, this should work...


And, just for the heck of it, why be restrictive...

Try this instead...
