Excessive bottom padding

Ok, a new problem just crept up. :cry:

When the page loads, everything is fine. How ever, if the page is not at the very top and it is reloaded, or if you surf back to a page that is not at the top of the screen, then the last item in the menu extends all the way to the bottom of the page.

I'm not sure if it is something I did in the menu_data file or whether it's conflicting witrh something else on the page. However, I justy revalidated the xhtml and that's fine. Mayhaps it's picking something up from css?

Anyway, any help appreciated.

What browser are you using?

Thanks,

I'm using Firefox under Redhat Linux via KDE.

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040207 Firefox/0.8

This problem just started yeterday. At least, that is when I first noticed it. Everything else (basically) was fine for the last few weeks.

Note that Firefox is still beta (as are a number of others out there), and, as such, that makes it extremely difficult for us to shoot any problems. They change and update things almost as fast as we did back in the RC days.

Just fired up Opera and I get the same error. It's probably something I did or a conflict with some Javascript. The only thing I added was the random quote, so I guess I'll have to delete that and see what happens.

Try upgrading to 5.23

Remove followscroll=0;
You probably don't need overflow="scroll"; on small menus.

I don't know of any reason to use single quotes on pointer.
General rule is to not use quotes in menu items, for example if you use a bgcolor in a menu item you would leave off the quotes.
In styles you would use:
offbgcolor="#ffffff";

In a menuitem it becomes:
offbgcolor=#ffffff;

changed to 0 to see if that helped. Went ahead and deleted it. (then went back and put it in with "1" :D )

Ok, removed them.

Don't know why I did. Removed all 'pointers'.

I don't have any colours outside the style section, do I? Nevermind - I know what you mean now. Yep, I removed all those 'pointer' references.

Ok, everything seems to be working for the nonce. Let's see what I can break next :D

And, Thanks All, for all the help. :* (What? No kissing Smiley? :( )

Now look what you did :oops:

Every read the introduction on my homepage?

Why tempt fate? Why not! Never know how fate will respond.
