You got an example of the page James so I can see the difference
between FF and Safari?

Give it as many columns as you want to have main menu options.
Duplicate this table off onto the pasteboard somewhere. With the
first table selected, choose Item > Actions > Menu Bar from the main
menu. In the Actions palette, select your second table in the Menu
Items (table) picker. In the second picker, you define your first
level of options by entering text in paragraphs. Just enter an
option, press return, and enter the next option and so on. Do this
for each column of the table when you have options for that main menu
item. If you want sub-sub menus, put a + at the beginning of the
line, two ++ at the beginning for even more sub-ness.

Sorry - not between FF but FW and Safari. In FW the preview the menu
was stretched properly with the menu width, etc. In Safari, the width
set wasn’t being respected and it was less wide than wanted…

Basically, what SHOULD happen is that when you create your HTML box
and add the list to it, depending on the number of main line menu
items, the action should auto fill to the width of the html box
without having to fiddle with the width in ems (who uses those anyway
as they are a highly unreliable setting for anything)…
I seem to remember that this does not light up the box behind the
link — just the link and why I stopped using it???

Your top-level menu options are missing. I forgot to mention, in that
first table, the one that you added the Action to, you have to put a
line of text in each cell – that line of text are the menu headings.
Clients Portfolio Contact Us About - -that sort of thing. Then the
submenu options go in the second table off the screen.

This is apparent because you have centered the text in your submenus.
Can you turn that off any way? That would make it look a little
better. The other thing that’s happening here is that your submenus
are wider than their parents. Is there any way that you can make them
the same width? Then you might have a better effect.
