Layout messed up, why?

Post by Drieske1982 »

Hey,
Sometimes the following appears (look at the right):

But strangely, it doesn't appear always. When i press refresh, it's gone.

You can try it at http://www.aendekerk.be/beta

Why is this? How can i prevent this?

Thanks

Dries

Worked with no problems for me in many tries using Safari. Is it failing in a particular browser/OS/version?

Also, your original subject wording was not necessary, and that one word was edited by me.

It tried it with Win98 and WinXP, both using the latest Internet Explorer (6.0).
It doesn't occur often, but it does bug me.

Hopefully one of the other folks can take a look before I get back to work on Monday. That's the only place I'm stuck with Windoze...

The last item does stretch in Firebird and goes on refresh, but it doesn't look bad.

In Safari the table border is less than the menu width, again on refresh it corrects itself.

I don't know the solution, but what might look better is removing the border from the table and only using the menu border.

Referring to the last item being longer and then shortening on refresh, same thing was occuring for another user. And, if you put an item width in that last item, it seems to fix the problem. I think it has something to do with the menu trying to fill the whole table cell where it resides. http://milonic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3565
