sub menus are offset even when _suboffsetleft = 0 [SOLVED]

The submenus are popping -2px to the left of the button on each submenu. This is happening in Firefox and IE. The only browser working correctly is Opera (which is weird

)

The menu is made of three images with a separater defined in the menu style as a 2px and colored white

So it appears the menus are popping off of the separator and not the image.

I've set the global _suboffsetleft _suboffsettop both to zero to no effect.

thanks for any assistance on this!

Hi,

I have no idea what's causing that shift. I can't find it. I think it's probably a combination of things and I haven't hit the right combination of css and menu property yet. Anyway, 1st get the newest version, 5.770 is out

I don't think that will fix it, but as to the offset, that is a horizontal menu, you cannot set offsets for the subs in the global area of a horizontal menu, you have to set it in the menus, i.e. left="offset=2"; or whatever you need.

Hope that helps.

Ruth

Hi Ruth,

low and behold it was an absolute positioning issue! Opera was the only browser to render to true CSS specifications while IE and Firefox barfed.

Once I altered the CSS and rebuilt the div the menu was in, everything turned out fine.

thanks and case closed!!
