Hi,
I'm getting reports that my menu items ( www.pbm-cht.org ) get cut off
on windows ie 6. Any ideas why?

Misha
I get cut offs - IE6 & win2K
It may have something to do with your table & cell widths e.g.
<td width="1%" id="menubarwrapper">
and I'm not sure about the Colspan content
Try Highliting the table and hit the <-> icon in the property inpector (left
of 'bgcolour). Then reset the table & cell widths you really need.

Hi Misha,

You have declared a width of 120 for the cell that holds the table with
houses the menu - this table has the same width (120) applied.

If you make both these 140 I believe that should work.

I believe it has somethign to do with the padding of the CSS. Any ideas?


#menubarwrapper {
vertical-align: top;
padding: 15px 15px 30px;
}
#menubar {
padding-top: 6px;
text-align: right;
}
#menubar a {
letter-spacing: 0em;
}
#menubar ul {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
list-style: url(none) none;
}
#menubar li {
padding: 0px;
margin: 0px;
}
#menubar ul.mainmenu a {
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
padding: 3px 7px;
color: #000000;
width: 100%;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: bold;
border: 1px solid #fff;
line-height: normal;
}
html>body #menubar ul.mainmenu a {
width: auto;
}

Well I think that your HTML markup is conflicting with your CSS - did you
try it on this page?.........

How is the markup conflicting with the css? I don't declare width in
the CSS.

That page was a special page. Most of the pages have a td width="1%".

Hi,

No - sorry but that's made the cutoff more pronounced - I took that page and
made the changes locally before you changed it again - the fix I gave
earlier worked for me.

Unfortunatley I don't want the td to be 140px. I don't understand why
that would change anything.

OK, now I added a new id (menubartable) and applied the width to that.
Does it work now?

may have to reload the css:

www.pbm-cht.org/styles/global.css
www.pbm-cht*org/indigenous_people.html

so you're saying that making the td in which the menu is 140px wide
solved the problem? Any idea why?

Thanks for all this help. I want to know what is doing it so I can
avoid it in the future. I need to buy a cheap dell.

Sorry Misha - I dunno really, I'm guessing the mixture of %'s ems and px

Seriously though - perhaps you'd better post again - and hopefully someone
with better CSS skills than I will take a looksee :-)
