Hi1

I am trying to create a menu that will be flushed right permanently on my webpage design- i.e. I have a web page design that is 1000px, and I am creating a menu that is 400px. I want it to start at 600px from the left, so that the menu ends nicely where my page width ends.

However, I keep getting it in liquid- i.e. centering itself relative to browser window. How do I disable the centering?

Hi Kevin,

What you are reporting is not a menu related issue but a page design one.
My suggestion is to enclose the menu in a div and use position:absolute or postion:relative with a margin-left:600px or use float: right. If you use the float attribute dont forget to use clear:both in the next div.
Also dont forget to set the width of the div.

Regards,

Hi Catalin

This is tag I've used in my CSS to enclose the menu:

#Tabs {
margin-left:480px;
width: 520px;
top: 28px;
position: absolute;
background-color:#99CC00;
}

But somehow the menu is still going way off. In my html, it looks like this:

<div id="Tabs">
<!-- Creative menu Menu1 begin -->
<div id="CMPH_Menu1"> <img src="includes/Creative Menus/spacer.gif" width="520" height="49"
... ... .... ...
</div>
<!-- Creative menu Menu1 end -->
</div>
<!--Tabs end here -->

I contained the menu within a tag= "Tabs" but it is going extreme right, causing a horizontal scroll bar to appear.

Hello Kelvin,

In the div use left not margin-left (for absolutely positioned DIVs).
If you still encounter problems please send us the site attached via email at support(at)extendstudio(dot)com.

Ok. I realised this now: I've been testing the webpages with Safari and the menu even if contained within another div tag will always move whereas when I test the webpage in Firefox, it is ok. Is there anyway I can get around the problem with Safari?

Hello,

As Catalin told you before, this is probably a page design (HTML/CSS) problem and not a menu one. We can try to figure out what is wrong in the page even if this is not a product issue but you will have to send us an archive of the website at support[at]extendstudio[dot]com

Best regards,
Horea.
