Vertical positioning problem on Mac

Post by mcarlson »

I can't get the vertical positioning to work properly on a Mac.

http://gutierrez.cycloneinteractive.net/builttosuit/

If you visit this link on a PC with FireFox or IE and roll over the "Build to Suit" link at the bottom of the page, you will see that the menu should appear directly above that link.

If you try this on a Mac, however, the menu appears much higher on the page. The left offset is correct but the top offset is not. This is a problem with IE, Safari and Mozilla on a Mac.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Can you tell me exactly where you want it to open?

Hi,

Sorry, I should read more closely. I don't have a mac, so you'll need to test this, but I was getting the same thing in IE 5.5 pc. What I did was add ignoreCollisions=true; up at the top, below the subOffsetLeft=-2; See if that fixes it.

Thanks so much! This got the positioning right. You have no idea how many hours I spent yesterday trying to figure this out.

Now the only issue is that Safari displays the submenu image on the left instead of the right, but I think I've seen posts on how to fix that somewhere.

Hi,

Yes, that issue came up recently. I don't know why but for some reason though the subimage is default right, Safari seems to decide it wants it to default left, so if you put in the style subimageposition="right"; that will take care of Safari and not make any difference in the others since they already put it right.
