Everything was fine last time I checked in IE before the last update.
Now MAC IE is floating all over the place on different pages.
Can someone tell me what its doing on a PC?
I suppose its taken on CSS where it wasn't before, any ideas? it works normally in other browsers.

Ruth too, your followscroll [MENU] is in the center of the page with a 100% border accross the page.
Maybe we need to change code that didn't work previously on the 100% width?
Thanks,
maz
Also for Ruth: Safari, Firebird, Opera beta okay.
IE no onbgcolor change.
You could use an adjustment on the outside onborder, its overlapping to the right looking like 3 borders (too many) IE centers it and causes mainmenu items to move. May need to adjust padding or something to get on and off to be only 2 borders.
MAC IE Menu alignment moved
Maz,
It works fine in IE 5.5, Netscape 7.1, Firebird .07. Netscape 4.79 works if you reload or resize, otherwise the bird and menu stay to the far left border and open left so you can't see it. You might be able to do some kind of javascript code that would resize the window in netscape 4.79 automatically by a few pixels. I'm sure there's a way for it to read the window size and say downsize by 2 pixels or so, so as not to change their window size much.
Problems in:
Opera 6.05, the bird bobs up and down about 10pixels so the menu never really loads even though you see it. can't use it.
Opera 7.1, works fine but the menu has the last item, the rate section never visible because it's off the bottom of the page. I'm sure that's to do with the follow scroll function. if you could get it to work, maybe having the menu fixed with a button like mine would fix that. Opera has so many new problems every time they update the browser.
Netscape 6 [
] The rate section when you mouseover it has the 5 stars checked and on all the others the little boxes hide behind the menu so you can't reach them. Good job!!!!

PS: thanks for the info on the follow scroll. I think I might make that a separate menu and see if that fixes it. I mean a separate data file, right now it's a menu in the main file.

Thanks Ruth,
I put 5.6 back for now, is that better? Looks okay to me in all browsers.
Okay Ruth, not good news,
now in IE you have not only the border on MENU-TOP in the center of the page but also a background color 100% of the screen.
In IE the other menu submenu's and sub-sub-menus are opening in the center on top of each other.
There is an offset onborder right bottom in both safari and ie.
In IE you have 100% width bgcolor, looks okay but not present in Safari.
Here's one that works in IE but not in Safari, the large Milonic menu submenu disappears leaving an empty border and the line 'what colors...'

ie 5.5, ns7, firebird .07 perfect
opera 7, everything fine but rate off bottom, bet that's the followscroll.
ns6.01 the rate section seems to be slanting so you only get the 4 top stars. I looked at the file and I think what you have to do is have equal images for ns6. 4 stars, then for the 3 stars, a blank and 3stars etc. I don't think that would change anything for the others.
opera 6.05, the menu keeps bouncing, that's' the followscroll I bet.

Ok, I fixed all the items that didnt' validate and now the page validates as to css and html 4.0 transitional. Could some mac guys 
check it for me again to see if there are still problems? Sea Dream Thanks very much.

I don't know. It uses the exact same on/off class as the main menu and the little scroll menu. Try this, I just noticed that for some reason I had fontweight in the actual menu data file, and that's the only thing different than the other ones so I took it out. Sea Dream 2

No, I have no headers declared anywhere. Here's one last try, I found one more thing different, I had itemwidth declared where you put orientation and such, in the other menus I put it actually in the item, so I did that with this page, and I removed the filter since it doesn't show with this menu anyway. This item now matches the main menu, so if that doesn't work I have no clue. Sea Dream 3 Thanks so much for the help, Maz.

No, John, it's using the same style as the main horizontal menu which seems to work fine. Did you check Remembrance of 9-11, Borders, Games? They like Milonic are direct links with no submenus. Maz mentioned something about white and that triggered a thought. In my styles I have defined an a.hover: and a.active: with text as white and decoration as underline. So could you guys try it again, then click the links to NEXT PAGE at the top. I put up 1 with the references to white text, then one with all references to a.hover and a.active removed totally. If that's it, I dont' know what to do about it except remove all reference to links. It seems if you define them in styles the menu just automatically picks it up. I didn't put them in the class definitions that I actually call in the menu, they are just defined in the page style so the menu must be designed to automatically read any reference to link colors and such. Wondering if that is the case if somehow I can define them in the class definitions? Thanks so much.

rut roh...head would be someplace else if it weren't attached! Ok, I updated to 5.09 [whatever happened to 8, I never got notice]
No changes to styles
Removed reference to #ffffff in the a:hover and a:active in style but left text-decoration:underline
Removed all reference to links in style
If it's still doing that center thing with IE I'll have to talk to Andy about what's happening.
