Collapsing menu with itemwidth in IE 6

Consider a simple horizontal menu where the menu sets its width from the width of the menu items. If one shrinks the browser window, the menu items retain their size. Since I want the menu items to be of equal width, I set the itemwidth property. This works. However with itemwidth set, when one shrinks the browser window, the menu now shrinks

The problem occurs with IE6 but not with Firefox.

I'm using version 5.738

Any suggestions appreciated.

see:

Using IE, shrink the browser window until it is more narrow than the menu.

Have you tried moving the "itemwidth=140;" from the style properties to the menu properties (just below the orientation:horizontal)

That should work.

your menu ... is ok

look at your file

http://www.dhyg.de/Milonic%20DHTML-Java ... 20Page.htm

just have renamed the menu_data file, annexing "ccc" and have made available a subimage which is specified as subimage="arrow.gif" and defined menuwidth=840; (= 6x140) ...and took out the <NOSCRIPT> tags.

I´ll delete this file in a couple of days.

Thanks for suggestion. Your version does what I need.

I assume the substative change is including a menuwidth=840 parameter. However, if I make this chang to in my menu_data.js file, or remove the noscript tags in the html, the sympton persists on my side. I did not replace your arrow gif iwht the prior one, assuming a gif is a gif as far as the menu is concerned.

Hi

oh yes, of course, that comment was made only, because there was no such gif available at that (my) testing site. Has nothing to do with the problem.
