Menue Pull Down Problem

Freeway

A client of mine told me that the pull down menues on the new page do not stay open, when he is moving with the mouse over it… On my system (Mac and Windows) everything works well. What can it be?

… up to my experience, things like that happens if a client/user is on “strangely” odd browsers (such as IE6 or 7).

I remember having had something like this, too - but I can’t remember how we fixed it. It’s probably not always suitable just to recommend “update browser” but I tend to say that this had been really the solution in my case.

Hi Tom,
It looks like you’ve made the CSS menu from a number of shorter CSS Menu items rather than one single one. If you roll the mouse over the menu from left to right you may notice that the 4th menu item drops down and then disappears when you get about half way across it. This is because of an item called ‘fwNavContainer3’ that is sitting in the way.

I suspect you don’t want to hear this but I’d be inclined to merge these menu items into a single CSS Menus object which should eliminate this issue. It will also make your page code smaller and a lot neater.
Regards,
Tim.

… what I actually did (snitching design parts of Tom’s page - hihi).

However I struggle (no I don’t cause I normally do not care about) with the following:

Assumed, I have a page-width of 960px and I want to have in total 5 entries and a white 1px entry divider I now calculate:

960:5=192px

Including the dividers I would now have a total menu-width of 964px what would mean, that I have to decrease the entry width on 191px.

As a result of this I miss a single px (191x5+4=959px)

So I thought:

Why not to grab the:

and “bridge” the missing Pixel?

So far so good. But what style I should tackle for the “last child sub” to do the same, cause actually there is (naturally the one Pixel still missing)?

Well - guys, I do not expect that the above is really understandable, so I wrapped this in an example.

I’m talking about subs of entry5.

Thanks for any pointings

Cheers
