View Full Version : Need help with 'JumpMenu'

Due to a design issue, I've had to shorten a JumpMenu (that's on every page of the site) by a few pixels.

It displays perfectly in FF, i.e. the drop down part expands to show the 'links' correctly.

However, in IE the drop down part stays at exactly the width of the JumpMenu, which means many of the links in the drop down are partially hidden.

If you click on the business cards link in my sig, and look top right you'll see the JM under the Quick Search Menu box. The JumpMenu itself was sized using CSS.

Is this fixable so it will work in IE correctly?

Hi Reggie,

You are going to struggle to fix that in IE because it is a combo box. Therefore you can't style it, it is up to each individual browser to decide how it renders the output.

You'd be far better off creating an unordered list and styling that. If you go to the CSS play website, you'll find some nice examples of unordered lists.

Does that help at all??

Yes it does, many thanks. At least I can stop trying to find a solution to the IE issue.

I'll check out the unordered lists you mention.

Thanks again.
