Menu not visible on Mac

Hi there,

after reading the thread I hope this is the correct place to post this problem.

I have created a menu for client, the menu works fine on my own PC and I'm sure most PC's. However my client owns a MAC and cannot view the menu on the screen. He understands that the menu does work and is viewable to any users on PC/ Internet Explorer (and hopefully) and other browsers.

the URL is http://www.verbiercpd.com

I gather from reading the post the code may need to be placed inside a table to function properly. Is this correct?

Thankyou for any assistance, obviously without having a MAC myself it makes any testing difficult.

Mark

Hi,

I'm splitting this off because the issue is not the same. You don't have the menu in a table, so it should show fine.

FYI the menu is fine in IE5.5, Netscape 7.1, Firefox 1.0.2, Opera 7.54

Someone with a mac will have to test for the mac. Can you provide more information on the client's mac? What OS, what browser?

The 'main' menu is displayed (slightly off to the left) but the sub menus do not show at all in IE5.2 (MAC)

Is fine in FireFox (MAC)

Strangely enough if I place your 'menu_data' code on to my test server it works fine in IE5 (without the rest of your site code) so the fault seems to be not be with the menu but maybe with your page?

Perhaps you can make a test page on your site that just builds the menu and nothing else and I will check it out on MAC?

OK from what I can make out it is your CSS

Currently you have:

Code: Select all

body { background-color: #006699; text-align: center; margin: 0px auto; position: relative; width: 770px; topmargin: 5px }

You are using margin: 0px auto to center your pages - however that seems to be affecting the menu in IE5 (MAC) - maybe a bug - dunno but by removing it restores the working of the menu.

I guess you could remove it from your CSS and replace with a <div align="center"> straight after your <body> call?

Or maybe on of the team members here have a fix?
