Safari subimage aligned wrong

Post by ianlandsman »

Any idea why in Safari the arrow is aligned incorrectly? It's fine everywhere else.

Image

My code is standard:

Code: Select all

subimage="images/arrow_nav.gif";
subimagepadding=2;
I've tried changing the padding, but that didn't help.

Hi,

How is it aligned wrong? It looks to be in the middle of the items from top to bottom.

True, but it's on the left side of each navigation item, where it's on the right for other browsers. Shouldn't the arrow be on the right? Is there a setting I'm missing? The arrow being on the left in only Safari doesn't seem right to me and I don't like the inconsistency between browsers.

Interesting. I hadn't noticed that before (rarely use Safari any more), but I'm seeing the same thing on my sites. A Safari-ism. It will be up to Andy to tackle this - or not.

IMHO, I wouldn't worry about it. I suspect folks who use Safari are not going to be aware that the arrow is on the "wrong" side.

I agree in general, but it's still incorrect and I have a very technical user base who most likely will notice (and generate support requests, etc). It's used within an application, not on a website.

Is there someplace formal I need to report this bug?

My first inclination would be to say "Apple"... :roll:

However, if you're a registered user you can go here.

And, just for info, although the default is supposed to be right side and seems to be so in all other browsers, you could always use the subimageposition property in the style and set it at right, then safari would follow all others subimageposition='right';

Thanks Ruth! You know what's odd is that I did indeed try that and it didn't work, but this time it did. I wonder if last time I left the quotes out?? In any event I'm all patched up!

Hi,

Yes, in the styles area everything but a number takes quotes. And, if you put something like px with the number it also takes quotes. fontsize=12; or fontsize="12px";
