I seem to be having some problems with internet explorer. When I mouseover a button the highlighted portion seems to be off by a few pixels down and to the right. An example can be found here

Any help would be appreciated . Thanks

menu_data.js can be placed in a table but should not be placed in a div. This is most likely throwing it out. Can you try removing the div?

You are running a release candidate, 50 to be exact. We are in the full version out of beta and at Version 5.20a a LOT of version beyond what you have. You need to upgrade, and also check the table sample to see how to put the menu in a table and not in a div.

Thanks for the advice guys. Unfortunately, I have tried upgrading, removing the div, etc, etc. I still can't seem to shake the problem. Everything seems to work fine in Netscape but Explorer is still giving me problems.

Looking at your code right now, you still have beta RC50 posted at the URL you provided. Without the current release code (5.21) in place we're not going to be able to help you.

BTW, I'll take that house in the picture!

If you upgrade to version5.21, use the correct placement for menu in a table which you can read about here http://www.milonic.com/menusample9.php Check the IMPORTANT note listed there, and if you put in menuwidth="100%"; itemwidth="13%"; then the menu will be the correct size and the mouseover will work correctly in IE. This doesn't work in release candidate 50, which as John noted you are still using. To get email notification of new releases go HERE and at the bottom left click on Watch This Topic. You will receive an email notice when a new release is posted.

Still unsure what the difference is (this has come up before), but when I log in the item mentioned by Ruth is in both the top and bottom right on the page.

Not raggin' on Ruth - just an FYI that it's there somewhere. I think it might have something to do with which Theme you have selected.

At any rate, upgrade, follow Ruth's instructions, and we'll be glad to help you from there if you still need it.

Hey, thanks, John. I never realized it was in different places. I'll note that it could be top or bottom, left or right.

Thanks, guys. I'll give it a shot this afternoon.

I did upgrade to the current version, but when I did, I encountered all sorts of other problems. I changed it back to 5.0 because it was the lesser of two evils.

What other problems? When I downloaded the page, set the menu in the table per the sample and used version 5.21 I didn't notice any problems. Could you let us know what problems occured so we can check on them.

Probably won't be able to get to it until this weekend. But I'll post an example of any problems that arise.

Thanks again for the help.

Ok, I've given your suggestion a try. I've upgrade and removed the div tags. Everything is now working fine in IE, but now Netscape 7.1 is having problems.

I did remove the 'itemwidth="13%";' tag because it was creating problems. The menu became too thick.

I'm not sure why it's doing this, and someone else will have to check it, but you can fix the problem by putting overflow="scroll"; in each of the submenus. I haven't a clue why that works, but it does. Of course if there's nothing to 'overflow' then nothing happens with a scrollbar or anything. That is the only thing that is different between the submenus which render correctly and those that don't.

The only thing I can think of is trying to set separator width with a pixel value instead of %.

Version 5.25a should have a fix for this problem

Ok, all seems well now (until IE 7 that is). I really appreciate everyone's help.

Thanks.
