L & R padding only on horiz. menu - is it possible?

[HLCJeffIT]

Hi, I want to space out my menu items with a little padding on the left and the right only, not top and bottom. Is this possible and how?

Thanks,
Jeff

A Search (handy feature!) would have found this for you, but for 3 bucks the following...

Padding works something like CSS, so you could say...

Code: Select all

padding="0 3 0 3";

...or whatever values you need.

Just in case, the values go top, right, bottom, left.

I would have expected the padding shorthand to work, but it doesn't for me.

If I put either:
padding="0px 20px 0px 20px";

or

padding="0 20 0 20";

it simply makes ALL padding 0 or 0px and ignores the other values.

I witness the same behavior in both IE6 and Opera 7.22.

I am using the unregistered version of Milonic 5, maybe that is why it doesn't work for me?

Registration isn't the issue. Its most likely your browser.

Are you adding the padding to main menu or submenu, do you notice a difference between both?

Do you have subimages or images?

I'm asking these questions because it worked for me in Safari on the main menu, but not in the submenu where I also have images.

This is how I used it:
padding="0 3px 0 1px";

Hmmmmm... I'm puzzled because this approach works well for me and I have used it several times, in various browsers. Where are you putting it? What release of the menu code are you using? Can you post a url to a test page, or post the menu_data.js code?

Kevin,

Did you try with subimages or background images?

Hi Maz,

"Yes" with subimages (the same syntax works for the subimagepadding property BTW). "No" with background images.
