Works for me on both Safari and Firefox.

However, I would get the menu JS calls back together as a unit (the way they came in the download), and put them as the first items after the body tag.

I agree with John, especially since the menus are in tables. I wonder if the browser on that Mac is IE???

It tends to mess up the position if the calls for the menu files are not correct.

I also noticed that all the menus coded in the HTML page have the same name (Main Menu). The CSS has numerous duplications as well.

The CSS has numerous duplications as well.

it as to be because the submenus have diferent sizes ( caracters ).

but will take a look again on my menu and organize on the best way.

thanks again john and ruth

hi again...what i was trying to say is that every submenu have a diferent size because the first submenu have word like (milonic is great) and on the second submenu have (milonic) so the boxes as to be with diferent sizes (each submenu have a number diferent caracters).

maybe because of that i have a little problem with the submenu.

with i.e (windows)

with any other browser

i think a got it.....
on my css i have " padding-top=1px; " and this property will not work
on any browser except i.e. (i think)

but because of that the word on any submenu is 1 px up.
and not at the same line of the square that is on the left side

The submenu position [except for the first level from the main horizontal menu] is controlled in the top of the menu_data.js file with the subOffsetLeft= and subOffsetTop= That allows you to move the submenu position.

Also, keep in mind that as far as I've found, different browsers seem to treat how they render and space tables differently, and you also have to consider font size or which font is being used which will also affect things like spacing.
