Im using a free template to revamp a website of mine, at the moment though im having a problem with a navigation bar that Im using:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/chrome/index.htm

It looks fine in IE but not in FF

Hi Boomers,

If you post some code then we might be able to help. Not too sure how its coded but maybe you could include the code at around where you think it might be going wrong.

It's not recommend to rely on javascript menu! It requires the user to have javascript enabled and are inaccessible to those who do not use the mouse. Have you considered using a pure css one?


The issue you're having is most probably css margins or padding related, I usually stick in "padding: 0 auto; margin: 0 auto;" just to be on the safe side and it usually helps!

Good Luck

AFAIK these two drop downs are the best to work with for cross-browser compatibility and accessibility:

http://www.xs4all.nl/~peterned/csshover.html (http://www.xs4all.nl/%7Epeterned/csshover.html)

FWIW I usually go for a tweaked version of the first one:

I dont believe it!!

I spent hours messing around with the suckerfish menus on my website to get the tab key to work - done slightly differently to here though but same result.

Carrying on with the same theme on the Dynamic Drive drop downs, does any know how to change the colour of the text on the drop down? I can change the main links colours and the hover colour on the drop down.

Any Ideas because I'm lost! :wacko:
