I am sending the message my webmaster sent to you by email yesterday. Also I have sent two emails in the last week and have had no reply so I am hoping we can get a response to our question.
I am a webmaster working with a client who has purchased your dreamweaver menu products. She bought the vertical menus and the drop-down menus. I maintain a website which has both and I am in the process of switching over from a simple javascript menu to using the Extend Studio creative menus.
I am running into a problem with the way Firefox handles the blank graphic your menus require behind the area where the menus and submenus are displayed. I have been able to sort the problem out in IE, but Firefox seems to place this background graphic somewhere else because it is detecting an overlap between this graphic and the dynamic contents of the website, which I want to have come to the right edge of the vertical menus(covering the area where the submenus pop out). I did some research to make sure the DOCTYPE of the template file is correct but it made no difference to the operation of Firefox in this situation.
The website in question uses PHP scripts which work with an HTML template file containing the banner, menus and footer for every page in the site. The template file has placeholders which are replaced by the dynamic portion of the page. In order to get the contents of the placeholder area to snuggle up to the edge of the main menu (with submenus retracted), I used a DIV command with absolute positioning to align the left edge of the dynamic area with the right edge of the menus.
This works fine in IE, but in Firefox, the barebones text descriptions of the menu items are all that is shown instead of the proper menus. I have experimented with using absolute positioning to put the dynamic text in a different layer so Firefox will not detect an ovelap with the area occupied by the submenus. When I use absolute position (and layering) on the DIV containing the background blank graphic, the menu comes up in the top left corner of the page instead of where I tried to position it. When I tried using absolute position and layering on the placeholder contents, the menu was in the correct place in IE but Firefox had the sam problem as before.
My question is: Do I have touse a style property forcing absolute position and layering on every DIV used to define the menus, or just the outmost DIV.
The webpage I have been working on to try out the new menu system is:
