Milonic menu incorrectly displays on IE, perfect on firefox

Post by boeshoe »

Hi all,

I am new to all this coding and everything.

I was wondering if someone could help me.

I have started a site http://boeshoe.freehostia.com and i was working on it in firefox, the menu looks perfect, but when i happened to have a look at it in Internet explorer, the menu is all distorted, and there are all crosses over the menu and it hangs off the screen.

I assume it is just something simply, but i was wondering if anyone had also had the same problem.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

IE can't find your images. FF can't either but FF seems to just ignore that the images aren't there, whereas IE gives you the x to say, hey there's supposed to be an image here.

you have it coded as image="orangedots.gif"; overimage="whitedots.gif"; and subimage="arrow.gif"; however those images are not in the root directory they are in /Menu/arrow.gif and so on. I think the others are in that same folder but I can no longer get to your site, it just says page not found.

Try coding those items as image="/Menu/orangedots.gif"; and all the others the same way, if the images are in that folder. If that doesn't work, try removing the / before the Menu and just make it "Menu/orangedots.gif";

The menu is also off the screen to the right on FF, I mean it goes beyond the right edge, just like IE. I'm at 800x600 if you want it to be not over the edge, and if your site is centered, try using screenposition="center"; instead of setting a left position, just remove the left=
