Hi all, I'm Nikko the webmaster of eSoundz.com. I've made a new menu to give a better browsing experience to the users...

But this menu seems to have an issue with its horizontal position, depending on the browser you use.

I've checked the latest IE, Safari and Firefox on both MAC and PC, and I've fixed the menu on these browser.

However if you have a problem please let me know :
- Your browser brand and version
- Your OS
- description of the problem.

I want this menu to works on any computer.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Nikko, welcome to KvR :)

I guess you mean this one:

- it works here [IE6/Windows XP Home, SP1]
- but I much prefer drop-down lists
- the Sounds CD/DVD sub-menu items are far apart, so you need to scroll to get to them all, and the scrolling here is a bit slow.
- can the sub-menu font be bigger?
- some sub-menu items are Bold and other don't

HTH ;)

Thanks for your quick answer,

I've tested on IE6 v.6.2.2900.2180 and the menu displays like 20 pixels left compared to what you have... that's weird. What is your exact IE version?

"but I much prefer drop-down lists"
About drop down menus : the reason I don't use them is that it displays under the flash banner! And there is no way to avoid this. Also the metal bar was empty, I've decided to use this dead space to add more info. Before it was very hard to find the free stuff link for example or the support link (was at the bottom only from the main page)

"the Sounds CD/DVD sub-menu items are far apart, so you need to scroll to get to them all, and the scrolling here is a bit slow."
- I agree about the sounds menu, but I've left it like this because I wanted to be sure that the scrolling was working. I'll leave less space between each item once all the tests will been ok. But it is interesting to have a scrolling menu in case we need to add more links...

"can the sub-menu font be bigger?"
yes the sub-menu font can be bigger, it is very easy, I'll do some tests.

"some sub-menu items are Bold and other don't"
I see and it is weird, it seems to be some kind of bug with IE 6 only because I don't have this on any other browser (IE 7 for example works fine). Maybe I'll leave everything in all bold, but change the color instead, this should work everywhere ... I hope.

All understood.

My IE6 is 6.0.2800.1106.xpsp2.050301-1526

Menu is dangling off to the left in Opera 9.2.2 (latest version). :(

Everything I highlight other than "home" the options pop up below and the items on the end land over the search box. Firefox 2.0.0.5

Don't know if this is intentional?

About Opera : I've fixed it, I guess. Could you confirm?

Smart : "the items on the end land over the search box"
Could you do a screen-shot? I've Firefox and it work fine. Did you used the CTRL + - functions to have big fonts? this may happen if your fonts are really big. Otherwise with v 2.0.0.5, it works here.

Sorry, Nikko: not quite on my end; it's a about 50% better than before:

Oups you when too fast I haven't downloaded the fix on the server... it is done now :)

Post

:lol: (blows smoke off pistols...)

Still looks wonky...should I flush my cahce?

Post

Hum, I've downloaded the v9.22 and it is fixed in my browser... yes try to clear the cache. Or refresh several time.

Post

Damn! It's still off, no matter what I do...I wonder if there's some global setting or something I need to change... :scared:

Post

Hum... it is time to go home. there must be something. Let see if someone else experience the same issue with Opera.

Post

Yeah, don't knock yourself out! Let's see how other Opera-heads fare. Thanks! :D

I've noticed that the sub-menu items go Bold when you hover over them (this is in IE6) - then they stay bold.

Also, when I go the the R.A.W Series page it says "1-16 of 54 CD/DVD Libraries in Sounds > R.A.W. Style Pak Series" but only 18 products are shown (on 2 pages). Similar for the Sonic Refills - only the first 18 are listed
