CSS based horizontal menu bar, need help as not working in Opera & Mac/IE

[Reckless]

Hiya,

After posting this in a forum with no responses I thought I'd try my luck
here. 1st time posted here so apologies if this isn't the best place for it.

I found a thread on a forum
(http://www.codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=19289&page=1&pp=15)
which seemed like an excellent menu system (menu authored by Brothercake).
However, I needed a horizontal menu bar and there was a non-working demo
which looked like just what I needed within the replies.

However, when I grabbed the code tried it out it didn't seem to work
properly on Opera (I tried it on V7.54) or Mac/IE. In both cases the main
items on the menu bar sit in a vertical stack instead of next to each other
on the menubar.

Are there any gurus out there who could help me out please?

My test page is here (http://www.adamhearn.co.uk/web/menubar.html)

It uses CSS (internal to the HTML) and some Javascript. I've not edited
either of these components from the original example I downloaded. I have
placed the javascript into an external file however.

I've tested the menubar under IE6, Mozilla, Firefox, Opera, Safari and
Mac/IE. The priority is Opera but I'd also like some sort of solution for
Mac/IE given that I have a few users with that browser (they cannot run
Safari as they don't have OS X!).

Thanks in advance !!

Hiya,

Morning

Are there any gurus out there who could help me out please?

No, but I'll have a go

....

Try this:
/* main nav */
ul#menu { cursor: default; position: absolute; z-index: 1000; top: 64px;
left: 0; width: 100% }

thats width 100% rather than auto. Works for me in Opera now.

HTH
