Hi,
For your layout you would be better positioning the menu relatively which would place it in the same place in all compatible browsers. To do this remove the main menu from the data file and save the data file as subs_data.js or whatever you want to call it. Then copy and paste the code below and save it in a file as embed_main.js [or whatever you want]
Code:
with(milonic=new menuname("Main Menu")){
alwaysvisible=1;
menuwidth=898;
itemwidth=99;
menualign='center';
orientation="horizontal";
style=ScrollingSampStyle;
position='relative';
aI("text=Home;url=http://www.ibcmc.org/;itemwidth=50;");
aI("showmenu=About Us;text=About Us;");
aI("showmenu=Worship;text=Worship;");
aI("showmenu=Ministries;text=Ministries;");
aI("text=Calendar;url=/calendar.html");
aI("showmenu=School;text=School;");
aI("showmenu=Resources;text=Resources;");
aI("text=Contact Us;url=/contact.html;");
aI("text=Prayer Request;url=/prayer.html");
}
drawMenus();
alwaysvisible=1;
menuwidth=898;
itemwidth=99;
menualign='center';
orientation="horizontal";
style=ScrollingSampStyle;
position='relative';
aI("text=Home;url=http://www.ibcmc.org/;itemwidth=50;");
aI("showmenu=About Us;text=About Us;");
aI("showmenu=Worship;text=Worship;");
aI("showmenu=Ministries;text=Ministries;");
aI("text=Calendar;url=/calendar.html");
aI("showmenu=School;text=School;");
aI("showmenu=Resources;text=Resources;");
aI("text=Contact Us;url=/contact.html;");
aI("text=Prayer Request;url=/prayer.html");
}
drawMenus();
Then on your page, leave the call for the files as it is only changing the menu_data.js file name to whatever you saved the one I called subs_data.js to.
Then in that empty div right below the Delivering Discipling deploying you would call that main file.
Code:
<tr>
<td>
<p class=style5 align=center>immanuel bapist church</p>
<p class=style5 align=center><span class=style3>delivering -
discipling - deploying</span><br></p></td></tr></tbody></table>
<div align=center><script src="embed_main.js" type=text/javascript></script></div></td></tr>
<td>
<p class=style5 align=center>immanuel bapist church</p>
<p class=style5 align=center><span class=style3>delivering -
discipling - deploying</span><br></p></td></tr></tbody></table>
<div align=center><script src="embed_main.js" type=text/javascript></script></div></td></tr>
You'll see that in the main menu I have set the item width to 99 and then in the Home item set it to 50, that makes the items 'even' across the menu.
For your information, menualign has nothing to do with aligning the 'menu' on the page. It has to do with aligning the items inside the menu. If you want to position the menu on a page using keyword you would use screenposition, i.e. screenposition="left"; right, center, bottom, top etc. But, for your layout, using the relatively positioning puts it in the same place all the time. Hope this helps.

Before you do what Ruth has suggested you MUST update your menu code files. You are running v5.773, current is v5.792. We can only support the most current version here in the forum. Since the updates are sequential, you're 19 versions down level!

Darn. I need a popup reminder to check version. That's the second time in two days and here I thought I wasn't getting older, just better
