CSS - Menu Styling Issue [In IE] (magik creep?)

username#132 · 08-December-05, 12:54 PM

I've constructed a minimal test case for something I think might be "magik creep" but which doesn't respond to either of the fixes suggested.

In IE, when the page first loads, the menu text is out of position in relation to the boxes in which it is supposed to be contained. It becomes more and more out of position as you go from one menu item the the next. Moving the mouse cursor over the menu item shifts everything back into the right place.

The page is located at http://username132.tasminslair.com/m...pages/page.php

The CSS is at http://username132.tasminslair.com/m...sheets/all.css

This is my final major problem with this website, so any help fixing it would be greatly appreciated!

In the all.css file, under the first item (#primary_nav li), try changing

margin-left: 4%;

to this instead:

margin-left: 25px;

I know, it doesn't auto-resize the margin that way. But since IE calculates the margins incorrectly, you can bypass the problem altogether by giving it a static number of pixels.

I haven't yet posed a question on PimpRig that I haven't got answered!

Always nice to lend a hand; I've been banging my head against CSS for quite awhile, so I could identify with your frustration!

I usually have to play around with elemental positioning to get things to display correctly in FF and IE. IE seems a lot more tempremental than FF most of the time...

Nice to know if I have any troubles I can bounce questions off you Funky
