HirnI have downloaded a test version of the software and I have created a page using Flexi CSS. Input all text and graphics - set margins etc and included a navigation system using POP MENU. Everything works fine when testing off-line. When I upload the page to the server the drop down menus stop working. I can get the menus working by deleting the "Includes" folder from the server but then the page does nor render correctly in Firefox . I have tried changing the order in which the CSS style sheets load but this seems to make no difference. Any ideas on what I am doing incorrectly?

Hello,
Our extension outputs some CSS and HTML. I don't understand what connection can the menu system have with our CSS files from the includes folder.
Please give me a link to the page so I can take a look at it.
Regards,
Andrei Rinciog

Hi Andrei
The site is a test site for a client and so at this stage of production is confidential. However if you can give me a non-public address I can send you the links.
best regards

this is the rule, in
your other style sheet, which is causing the problem:
/**
* Prevents the non-intuitive collapsing margins default behaviour of the W3 Box Model.
* This rule is recognized by all modern browser (Firefox, Opera, IE8, Safari, Chrome and other) and IE7, but not by IE6 or the
Dreamweaver design view.
* IE6 does not collapse margins and for DW the problem was solved in another way.
*/
.cssLO > .cssLI:first-child{
overflow: hidden;
}
Remove the rule.

Hello,
Thank you for the help, Al, but that rule has an important role for the layout and it shouldn't be removed. It keeps the layout stable by preventing margin collapse between the exterior and interior divs.
That being said, I wouldn't recommend using that workaround as it will add other problems.
Try to place the menu code inside an additional div tag. It should be something like this:
<!-- div Content Starts Here -->
<div>
Menu code
</div>
<!-- div Content Ends Here -->
If this still doesn't work, please send me a link to the page by email so I can take a closer look.
Regards,
Andrei Rinciog

Hi Andrei
I sent the link yesterday. Did you get it? At present the rule has been removed from the Flexi CSS style sheet. But you will see from the code of the index page that the menu code is within div tags already.

Hello,
I have received your email on gmail. The drop downs function, is this the version where you removed the CSS rule from the layout?

Hello Mike,
Yes, please. Also, make the modification that I told you above with the additional div.
<!-- row_2 Content Starts Here -->
<div style="overflow:visible">
Menu code
</div>
<!-- row_2 Content Ends Here -->
I've modified it a little bit. Tell me after you make the modifications and I will check the page again.
Regards,
Andrei Rinciog

Hi Andrei
I have uploaded a new version of the index page and changed the Flexi CSS file back to the original - of course the drop down menus are not working now. I am obviously doing something really dumb - but I can't work out what.

Hello Mike,
Leave the CSS rule where it is and we will disable it only for that div that holds the menu by using inline CSS.
Modify this line:
<div class='row_2 cssLI PageLayout4_row_2_design'>
and add overflow:visible rule:
<div class='row_2 cssLI PageLayout4_row_2_design' style="overflow:visible">
This should make the menu work and still keep the margins from collapsing on the rest of the layout.
Regards,
Andrei Rinciog

Hi Andrei
Thank you. That works.
I have another problem - I want to set up a background image to run in a row with sub rows. The images appears fine when I test it in Dreamweaver with FireFox and Safari but when I upload the page the image disappears. Do you want me to open a new thread for this?
Mike

Hello again,
Please check that you have uploaded the image on the server as well. If you did and it still doesn't show up online tell me the page that you are trying with. Send any link by email.

Hi Andrei
Page amended and files uploaded (they were already). I have made one change - in the background image specification panel I have changed Attachment to "scroll" and it now works. Can you explain why this should be?
Many thanks

Hi,
The background-attachment rule sets if the background image should stay fixed or scroll along with the page when scrolling occurs.
If you use the 'fixed' option the image will have a fixed position no matter where you placed it in the layout. However, it will be visible only when the div that has it as a background image will be over it. This probably didn't happen when you tested and that's why you couldn't see the image.

Andrei Rinciog
