Hi
I have a horizontal menu bar on my home page - http://www.iol.ie/~tulligweather . When using Firefox if I roll the cursor over the buttons that have sub-menus the sub-menu appears OK; but with a small gap between the nav bar and the sub-menu. As I move the cursor over the submenu it dissapears making the sub-menu links inaccessible.
If you're quick enough with the cursor you can sometimes catch the sub-menu before it disappears; but you have to be very quick.
This works fine in IE where there is no gap between the nav bar and the sub-menu.
I've tried regenerating the menu to no avail. Can anyone help, this is driving me nuts!
Thanks
David

Hi David,
welcome to talkgraphics... I would look at the height settings on your menu bar. I had a little trouble, but was able to see the sub and sub-sub menus in firefox. I double checked my settings with my test bar and it worked fine. double check your height settings...

David,
I've never used Menumaker, so can't help with your case I'm afraid, but if you email the Xara Support people, link them to their demo #7, because it suffers from the same problem as you have on your menu: http://www.xara.com/products/menumak...NBExample7.htm
(With Firefox 1.0 here, your menus shift a pixel or two, the Xara demo#7 doesn't do that, but it does require very fast and precise mouse movement to get into the submenus)
(If you need to contact Xara, read an FAQ from http://www.xara.com/support/menumaker/ and scroll to the bottom of the page, then click Contact Support)

Thanks for your reply Daniel. I checked out the Xara demos and I have to say I didn't experience any problems with the sub-menus on any of the demos using Firefox.

Well, weird as it may seem, I don't have any problems with the drop down menus on your site when using Firefox 1 or IE6.
I'm going to test the suggestion above regarding the menu height; but I'm not suer when I can fit this unto the work load. I'll post up when I've tested it.

Cheers for trying. It is very intermittent but happening enough that poeple have commented on it. I have tried having spcing at 2 and currently at 0
tends to happen more if you move your mouse off teh main button down in a diagonal direction slightly.

I've narrowed this down somewhat to some affect that the css is having. Previously the menu was wrapped in its own divs with an absilute position. Putting ther menu in the same divs as the banner at the top results in the menu working properly.
At present the menu is working fine; but please beaware that at 14:00 GMT the page will be automatically updated from home and will revert to the old page structure. This will be the case until I get the chance to debug the page template at home.
At least I now seem to be on the track to fixing this.
