Sub menu moves away from main menu

Post by Kristamk2447 »

Hi,
Thanks in advance for any assistance. I recently implemented the Milonic nav into this site, http://www.noahsrafting.com (as an include)

Main issue:
The nav seems to function well on a Mac in Safari however, (not IE or Netscape) and on a PC in Explorer however, (not in Netscape or Firefox)

Symptom:
When you scroll down just slightly then roll over the main nav links, the sub menus or "drop down menus" break away from the main nav, they no longer neatly "hug" the menu bar.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Krista

Hi

I´m sorry but I have a problem with the
structure of your startfile (index.html)

as there are, after the </head> end tag two body tags and after
the second <body> tag and an iframe another <html><head></head> section and then a third <body>
It is then only, that the milonic files are referenced and everything (beginning with that second <html>) is in a <td> !!!

So there must have something happened with your file.
Don´t know. so I stopped at this point, because for me it looks as if this structure may cause this problem.

Hi,

Upgrading to the latest verison of the menu should help fix that problem.

Also, as Migru says, you've got some major problems with your HTML, I see 3 opening <BODY> tags and this is bad.

Hope this helps,
Andy

Hi

the menu is placed entirely into a <td> cell of the table.
Please see (and follow) suggestions how to position the menu in a table:

Hi

Its more elegant, to include in each of your files <td> cells something like

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="embedded_main.js"></script>
with the embedded_main.js - file containing the main menu......instead of having the js-code in the table. Its much easier, when you need to edit that menu...!
