[Express] CSS Menu wrap around

Hello!

I am having a frustrating problem as a newbie.

I hav created a CSS menu but the last link (called Contact) in the menu keeps wrapping around:

Does anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks in advance,
Irwin

Irwin, not sure what you mean about wrapping around. On my machine, 24" Intel iMac running latest Safari, it looks just fine. On the same level with all the menu choices before it.

Dear Martin,
Thanks for your email.

I forgot to say that it works well on Safari on a mac but the wraparound issue is found on firefox, IE and sometimes on Chrome. Mostly on PC.

Thanks again,
Irwin

I forgot to say that I also looked at it on IE7 under Windows Vista and it was fine. I just looked at Chrome (v.8) and Firefox (v.3.6) on the Mac and it was fine there, too.

Regards,
Martin

Looks fine here, too, on Firefox and Safari (Mac, of course).

One thing you might do is make the box the menu is in longer so the menu items have room to grow if they need to.

Right now it looks like you probably have them in a box that’s not much bigger than the width of all the items.

Just to harp back to a many mentioned tip for looking at your sites where this might be a problem.

In Safari in the View Menu go down until you click Zoom Text Only - a tick will appear next to it.

Now when viewing the page you increase the font size using Cmd+ (do it a couple of times) you will be able to see your site as others may do. Remember many users may well have their browser set to display text no smaller than X - especially if they don’t have great vision or are an older audience.

Also PCs tend to display fonts larger.

Try it and watch your Navigation menu - it may well be that all that is necessary is as Robert suggests you need to make your menu container box a bit wider to accommodate an increase in text size.

You could also make that container the full width of the page and centre the menu within it.

Dear Bob & David,

Thank you for your tips.

Yes, when I increase the text size that is what I see on the PC.

I will try to make the container box a bit wider and see what happens.

Many thanks again for your assistance, and a happy new year!

Can you make the container a little wider? That would fix it, I think.
