Bill, Lars and anyone else who might be interested!
By adding position: absolute and left: n px to the drop down menu items, the mysterious IE5.5win
horizontal scrollbar completely disappeared at 800x600 and 1024x768, as follows:
#homeMenu { width: 5px;}
#companyInfoMenu { width: 115px; position: absolute; left: 150px; }
#productsMenu { width: 135px; position: absolute; left: 200px;}
#servicesMenu { width: 175px; position: absolute; left: 250px;}
#downloadMenu { width: 135px; position: absolute; left: 300px;}
#sitemapMenu { width: 5px;}
Note: In IE5.5win I still can't get the dropdown menu boxes to align exactly underneath in each main
menu heading in all monitor resolutions, so I optimized for 1024x768. The boxes swing to the right
in the other resolutions. NN6.2 gets it right.
Could someone check out IE6, Mozilla, and Opera for me to see how it looks? That would be great!
