Hey,

Something is wrong with the layout of my site and I think I need to find a hack to fix it.. maybe I just messed up. The problem occurs in firefox and IE (probably others as well). When I resize the window to a very small size the content moves to the left and the BG doesnt move with it... it messes the content up bad for small resolutions.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

Hey TaylorAtCts,

I'm at work and am not able to download your site for testing but a quick glance at your css has given me a few ideas on things you could try.

Try changing;

Code:

#container {

position:absolute;

width: 641px;

left: -321px;

margin-left: 50%;

top: 0px;

}

to

Code:

#container {

width: 641px;

margin: 0 auto;

}

Like I said I couldn't test this first but I think it should work. Give it a try and if it doesn't work post again and I'll play with it when I get home.

Cheers,

yeah most likely that would work, but you see everything is trial and error or in this case, success.

**TaylorAtCTS** · 01-16-2005, 02:09 AM

Yes! That fixes that problem

But it creates another problem.. now the banner at the top isnt quote at the top.. even though i kept:

top:0;

it doesnt work now.. adivce?

Problem NOT solved.. that only worked in firefox

Ahh, that's where I have being going wrong, not using css along with layers. Silly me, thanks Tayloracts for putting the thread up. I almost abandoned Layers.

For the top spacing issue change padding:10px to padding:0; in the css body tag.

I've been playing with this a little and it seems to only cause the original problem in IE when the menu is present. I get a similar problem in Opera but there is also a new problem as well, the sub menu items appear so far to the right of the parent that they dissappear on mouse out before you can get to them.

I'll keep working on it, if I come up with anything I'll let you know.

Good luck,

Thanks faze! The top logo looks perfect now; but the original Problem is not fixed in IE

Thanks very much faze

**TaylorAtCTS** · 01-16-2005, 02:35 PM

is ther some kown problem with IE that causes this.. ?

**faze1** · 01-16-2005, 05:23 PM

Well I believe the problem is related to the menu, when I remove the menu everything is fine, except for the fact that there is no menu. I wont have time to play with this today, but I should have some tonight.

**TaylorAtCTS** · 01-16-2005, 06:38 PM

I really appreciate it faze, thanks m8

**TaylorAtCTS** · 01-17-2005, 04:03 PM

nothin doin.. cant fix it!

**faze1** · 01-17-2005, 05:03 PM

I only had a few minutes last night to work on this, I wasn't able to make any progress except to isolate the problem to the menu. I changed the menus postions from absolute to static and I got better results for the main menu but it destroyed the submenus positioning. I should be able to put in some more time tonight.

Cheers,

**Omega Xnpio** · 01-17-2005, 11:59 PM

lol. crazy person... you can't do it that way...

**Mooofasa** · 01-18-2005, 03:23 AM

I think the reason for the menu's going up in smoke is because of the conflicting layers.

It looks sort of ok in IE6.0 but it (banner + menu) need about 5px added onto them to make them be inline with the site border.

Hey Taylor,

I don't know if you have PM notifcation on but check your PM. I'm narrowing in on it but I haven't got it yet. I sent you a link so you can see where I am an maybe push this thing over the edge.

Cheers,

**Mooofasa** · 02:48 AM

Doesn't matter

**faze1** · 01-21-2005, 06:37 AM

Hey Taylor, I didn't want you to think I forgot about you. I got the new file and it still seems like something is missing. I started a rewrite from the ground up up, but I've never made a css only drop down so I'm not sure what to expect. I'm up a little latrer than I should be and I probably wont have a chance to get to it tomorrow, or Saturday but I'll get crackin on it Sunday.

Twitch, the last bit I sent to Taylor was a few days ago and I've made a lot changes since than, seeing how it's his code I'll leave it to him to decide. Personally it doesn't matter to me.
