Safari Browser/Pop-Up Menu Problem

ivisioneer · Joined: 05 Oct 2005 Posts: 18

Hi,

If you look at http://www.ejphotovideo.com/ using Safari and try to use the pop up menus, they are screwed up. This seems to only be a poblem when only using the safari broweser but every other browser works. The pop up menus open but sort of freeze the menu when you try to use them so you cant click on any link using any popup menu from safari. Im sure there is probably some javascript, html or trick that would fix this issue.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Without knowing what link to click, you might check out PopUp Making Wizard or seach the International Web Developers Network

Hi,

Sorry I meant drop down menu when i say pop up menu. All of the drop down menus act strangely when you use the safari browser. They are located on the left sides when you roll your mouse over most of them.

Did you use Dreamweaver to create this menu?

Hi,

I did use Dreamweaver MX 2004 to make the drop down menus.

DW creates some proprietary code. You might check out Suckerfish Dropdowns or Accessible Website Menu for a much better type of menu.

Thanks for your help and your speedy replies cobe. I'll see if this resolves my issue. You would think a program like dreamweaver would not have issues like this. Maybe its better in dreamweaver 8? We'll see.

Cobe, I have another question. I have the horizontal scrollbars in my iframe that I want to get rid of becasue they are not needed. Some pages have them, some dont. I want all of them to not have them such as the homepage. How do i get rid of them? I have tried to get rid of them but can't for some reason. I have tried changing the scrolling to yes, no and auto with no success. I have also tried some other things I have looked up online but they dont work or I just may be doing it wrong. Thanks.

Keep in mind that DW is a WYSIWYG editor - and all WYSIWYG editors have some flaws.

Whats the URL to the offending page that has the frames on it?

Hi,

The whole sites contents is pretty much in an iframe. So for example the home page has a horizontal scrolling bar that I would like to not have becasue its not needed.

I was wondering if you were a web designer?

Thanks.

Well I would still need the URL to see exactly what is happening.

I actually manage designers / developers on my team.

Its the same as the drop down menu problem. http://www.ejphotovideo.com/. On the homepage for example there is a horizontal scroling bar i want to get rid of. Some pages have it, some dont. Want to get rid of all of them.

Do you know of any site about the web design business becasuse I am getting into the field a little but know very little about the web design business. I have looked online but found it hard to find any good information. I dont want to overcharge or undercharge and dont really know the process. Thanks.

hey, how do you put an iframe into the table?

Corey Bryant · Posted: Thu Oct 06, 2005 6:12 pm

Not the iframe (although you can but unnecessary) but on the other page which is the frame: http://www.ejphotovideo.com/welcome.html

Oh i see. So place all the content in the welcome page into one large table. Thanks I'll try it out.
