Issue with IE 6 & 7 and the word False showing....

Post by imattjc »

I have a weird issue. On the first load of a page there is a weird error with the menu and the word False appears, then the menu positioning is messed up. Also there looks like a drop down? or something else going on.

The page can be viewed at

I don't see it under FF2.0.0.3. The page comes up fine for me.

Exactly where does this word appear?

Hi,

I'm getting an object error in IE, something to do with the urchin. That is not the problem with the main menu items looking like they are in different top alignment positions in the menu. The images are different heights. That means those images that are only 10px high look like the 'text' is above the ones that are 25px high. You should make all the images the same height. I don't see any problem with the drop down positions..

The word appears in both menus (the red and yellow) on the right-hand side, but I have only seen it in IE 6 & 7

Ruth, you have been a great help in the past and I am hoping this will happen again! I don't have any problems with the display of the menu if I do a refresh of page -- and they look great on all other browsers. But I am seeing a 'drop down' menu and the word False.

I am also seeing something very similar on another menu on a different site. The site is http://www.mainegardens.net (and this is password protected with:

Hi,

I'm not getting any of the dropdowns to show the word false anywhere. That almost sounds like some security setting on your IE6 and IE7 browsers.

As to the other problem, you won't have the problem if the images are the same height, that is you won't have to refresh to get them to do a middle alignment. I tried everything I could think of using css or using image aligment in the menu itself and could not get it to be correct on the first load in IE. But, it seems more difficult to me to try to figure out a css setting or some way to do image positioning in the menu when all you need is to have the images the same height to avoid ever seeing that problem.

Ruth,

I will try that next. I must admit now I don't see False now either.....

I will update. Thanks both for helping.
