I have seen a number of designers struggling with this issue. Scenario: A dropdown menu works just fine in IE, but does not expand fully in Firefox, or the text cuts off to the right.

First ensure the menu is brought to the front. You will most probably find that it does not solve all the problems. The reason is that this type of menu bar is not compatible with FF. It will ONLY work if you use the DEFAULT theme under the Styles tab. All the other themes will cause the description in the scenarion above.

To solve this problem, just change the menus theme to default theme and you will be okay. Changing the colours, etc works just great.

Enjoy.

please help

Lasse, You will find that your posts will get answered quicker and more constructively if:

1) You start a new thread rather than post on an existing one

2) You tell us what your problem is. Just saying 'I have a problem with a drop down menu' is not telling us anything.

Nice tip by the way Tom.

Hi Lasse,

Please describe your problem, but it is a good suggestion by Marincky to start a new thread.

I had a look at your page and cannot see any menus.

thank you for your answers.

Tom, I am using the default theme and brought it to the front.

As you noticed, in IE it doesnt even show the drop down menu now, and if you have a look at the site with FF, it displays fine, but when the drop down links are clicked, the following error message comes up; "firefox doesnt know how to open this address, because the protocol (c) isnt associated with any program.

I really hope we can figure this one out...

Hi Lasse,

Double-click one of your menu items. The Edit Menu Item dialog will open.

Tell me what you have filled in for each of the fields on this dialog.

Hi Lasse,

You are linking to the files on your own computer. That is wrong. You must link to the url of the pages on the server.
E.g. http://www.yourwebsite/yourwhateverpage.html Just remember the home page must be named index.
