I am currently building a site for a client and have noticed that on loading the menu height appears larger than it should. I have noticed this on IE 5.5. But it currently appears OK in IE 6.
If the page is reloaded it then resizes to the current height.
The page is located at http://www.digitalevolution.com.au/espp/
The site is developement but if possible I would like to know if anyone else sees this issue and if so, do you have any hints on fixing it.
Thanks in advance Stuart
Site Check: resizing issue with menu
This is just a guess, but I'd move your menu calls up to immediately after the <body> (very first items - this is where they typically are). My thoughts are you're calling a lot of page before the menu even gets a chance to get started, and this might be messing it up in the older browser (as you said, IE6 works OK).

Just as an interesting note, I am running IE 6 SP2 on WinXP and the first time I went to the page, it loaded with extra space below the menu that is not supposed to be there. I went looking for a problem like this as I am having a similar issue on my site (http://www.shorthills225.org/hrts). When I closed the browser and opened again, though, it came out fine. Odd, right?
I am surprised that you are seeing the extra space as it was fixed a while ago.
The problem was fixed by specifying the widths and heights of images in the menu i.e.
The main menu item:
"<img src=scripts/menu_sq_Blue1.gif border=0> home","default.htm onbordercolor=D5FF0F;offbordercolor=AFD500;",,,0
was fixed by adding:
,"<img src=scripts/menu_sq_Blue1.gif border=0 height=10 width=19> home","default.htm onbordercolor=D5FF0F;offbordercolor=AFD500;",,,0
Hope this helps,
