Netscape 4.x positioning problem

Post by Surf Monkey »

Here's the deal. I'm doing a site that has dropdowns on three buttons. I've made three different menus within the array and positioned them to drop where I want them to. It all works like a charm in IE 5.2, and NS 6. On NS 4.x I get strange behavior. The first menu positions correctly, the second one shifts WAY over to the right (beyond the third one) and the third one stays exactly where I wanted it.

Here's the URL:

Ideas??

Hum Netscape 4.x has some problem to handle the layers and some others html tag. Im not sure that the problem come from the menu itself, but maybe what you have inside the menu or inside your page.

The first thing i would recommand you is to go here:
http://validator.w3.org/
and validate your code to the HTML 4.01 standard. It helps me a lot with my pages when everything was going wrong under Netscape 4.x
(If you experience problem at this URL try to download an HTML validator like the one you found here (trial version):
http://www.htmlvalidator.com

I ofently experience problem of layers position in N4.x and the problem comes alway from some tags or other things that N4.x dont handle and not directyl from the layer itself.
That's all I can say... hope you'll find the solution. Good luck ;)
