Opera ignores itemwidth property

Hello all,

Opera seems to ignore the "itemwidth" property on main menu and works on sub-menus. Has anyone found this to be true? No problems in IE6 or Mozilla. I have tried with and without " " and many other things to no avail?

http://meteorcrater.sciencedata.net/milonic/ie6.jpg
http://meteorcrater.sciencedata.net/milonic/mozilla.jpg
http://meteorcrater.sciencedata.net/milonic/opera.jpg

Versions:
Opera Version 7.23
Milonic Version 5.35

Example Code:

// Main Menu

with(milonic=new menuname("mainmenu")){
top=0;
left=0;
alwaysvisible=1;
followscroll=1;
orientation="horizontal";
menuwidth=762;
itemwidth=125;
style=menuStyle1;
aI("text=Meteor Crater Home;url=/home.htm;status=Back to the Meteor Crater home page");
aI("text=    Visitor Center;showmenu=viscen;status=Visitor Center;pointer=default");
aI("text=    RV Park;showmenu=rvpark;status=RV Park;pointer=default");
aI("text=    Events;showmenu=events;status=Events;pointer=default");
aI("text=    Links;showmenu=links;status=Links;pointer=default");
aI("text=    Contact Us;showmenu=contacts;status=Contact Us;pointer=default");
}

// Visitor Center

with(milonic=new menuname("viscen")){
itemwidth=125;
style=menuStyle2;
aI("text=Visitor Center Overview;url=/visitorcenter/overview.htm;status=Visitor Center Overview");
aI("text=MC Interactive Learning Center;showmenu=more;status=Meteor Crater Interactive Learning Center;pointer=default");
aI("text=Theater;showmenu=theater;status=Theater;pointer=default");
aI("text=Rim Tour;status=Rim Tour");
aI("text=Gift Shop;showmenu=moregift1;status=Gift Shop;pointer=default");
aI("text=Subway Restaurant<br>at the Crater;status=Subway Restaurant at the Crater");
}

Thanks,

This might be a silly little thing, try putting a semicolon ; at the end of each item.

Ha! this should be a question for John

I just double checked each line and I have a semicolon at the end of each item.

Thanks

To make sure, you have this?



You have menuwidth=762, itemwidth 125x6=750 , that leaves you 12px short?

Is the width of the page 762? or should you be using "100%" ?

You can still use padding="0 3 0 3"; whatever you want, that is top, right, bottom, left instead of the &. and/or separatorpadding=3; for example.

Maybe I'm not understanding the problem.

Please try version 5.36 - It should help fix the itemwidth problem.

I complained once about the problem of having a tiny space on the left of the first column of my horizontal menu; I think it was more than a year ago. I was glad to update my menu to v. 5.36, which at last solved that cosmetic problem.

Thanks for the quick response.

Version 5.36 fixed the width problem. Thank you Andy. It also fixed a Opera disappearing border problem, which I do not notice any longer. As a bonus, now everything seems fairly stable down to NS4.79 .

Thanks Maz, I was missing semicolons on the last item inside the quote. These "); have been changed to ;"); . Although it did not correct the Opera width error, but, version 5.36 sure did.

Thanks All for your help,

Leonard
