Jumping pop-up menu's on Macs .. WHY???

[ADaneInCT]

Hi All,

I have a real brain-bender for you. My in progress website's pop-up menu's jump when viewed on Macs. The site is developed with Fireworks pop-up menu's and then imported into DreamWeaver as Fireworks HTML before being exported.

The menu item jumps when pointed to in order to be selected. Moves down and then moves back when pointer is moved away. It does not happen on PC's.

The site is: www.johnmcolumbus.com .. anybody have an idea about what is going on?

Your help is greatly appreciated. THANKS.

what browser ??

I didn't notice precisely the effect you mentioned (Opera 7.21/Windows), but did see something that might be part of it. My screen size is set to 1024x768, but I have Opera's window tabs on the left side of the browser window rather than at the top or bottom as most people do. This puts my window size at a bit over 900 pixels wide. When I move the mouse pointer over the submenus, they extend past the right edge of the screen. This also makes a left-right scrollbar appear. Depending on the browser, this could make the page seem to jump up or down a bit, then back to normal when the scrollbar disappears as you move off of the menu.

HI All,

Got an answer for this from Macromedia's support site. It goes as follows .. and it worked, I am told.

Change this -
<td align="center" valign="middle">
<div align="center">
<script language="JavaScript1.2">mmLoadMenus();</script>
to this -
<td align="center" valign="middle">
<div align="center">

and this -
<body....>
to this -
<body....>
<script language="JavaScript1.2">mmLoadMenus();</script>

No explanation why .. but thought I would let you know.

To Cyanide - Am not sure what version of browser.
To Narasinha - the screen size was/is 800x600. However, it also happended when the resolution was put up. Seems like macs are specific about where the script statement is located.

Regards
