Alignment bouncing around in FF

In firefox the alignment of the horizontal menu is supposed to be centered. It bounces around when I open a page, it's correct 1 out of 5 times I load pages.

I just downloaded the latest release, it's a licensed copy.

I'm not seeing any problem with the menu in Firefox - did you manage to fix it:?

No progress...

No I've made no progress.. The problem does not appear the first time you load the page nessisarily. Click around the site a bit it pops out for me the 2nd page or sometimes even the first if I've had firefox open for a while.

Thanks for your desire to help.

PS> I'm using Firefox 1.5.0.6 on XP and Vista RC1

Can you please get us a screen shot over - not sure what I'm looking at

Screenshots both good and bad.

These to screen shots were taken by doing the following:
1. Open browser
2. Type URL
3. Hit enter
4. Take good screen shot.
5. Click a link to another page on the site
6. Type back in the homepage URL

Good:

Bad:

It doesn't matter what URL you use, this was the homepage before the new v2 one was designed.

HI,

Looks like there is a problem with the fontsize of 100% (declared in the menu styles) being changed to the CSS value of 11px.

I've just tried your site by declaring fontsize="11px"; instead of fontsize="100%"; and it seems much better

Hope this helps,
Andy

I'll give that a try right now...

That really made the menu "STICK" to the spot where it first loaded, MUCH better. I did have one issue, where was the original font size of 11px defined? I only had fontsize=100% on in the javascript config file, was the 11px my css font size for standard text used?

Fontsize of 11px was declared in your style sheet (parent.css) under the <BODY> tag - this means it was global across the whole page.

Awesome, consider the issue closed.

Thanks for the help,
Great work

PS> Would you consider this a bug in the code or browser considering a font size of 100% should have rendered at 11px?

Not really, it's the way CSS declared for <BODY> overrides all other values.

It's just the way CSS works.
