1) Script Title: Omni Slide Menu script by John Davenport Scheuer

2) Script URL (on DD):
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/omnislide/index.htm

3) Describe problem:
Ref: http://www.greenfees.com for IE only (other browsers work fine)

The greenfees website has a background image. The Slide menu dislocates from the center to all the way at the bottom of web page (scroll to see):(

When the background image is removed, it works fine on IE

Thanks
Gerry

Use a valid page, or at least a DOCTYPE that invokes standards. Change:


<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" title="main" href="/layout/stylebg.css">


<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 FINAL//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>World Golf</TITLE>
<META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="WebDesigner/0.1.6">
<meta name="Description" cont . . .

to (HTML 5):


<!DOCTYPE html>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>World Golf</TITLE>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" title="main" href="/layout/stylebg.css">
<META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="WebDesigner/0.1.6">
<meta name="Description" cont . . .

or to (closest comparable valid URL DOCTYPE):


<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>World Golf</TITLE>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" title="main" href="/layout/stylebg.css">
<META NAME="GENERATOR" CONTENT="WebDesigner/0.1.6">
<meta name="Description" cont . . .

There still could be problems though, the entire page is sort of sloppily coded. But just this much will probably take care of this issue.

John. Thank you for the quick response and suggestion. It worked perfectly. I agree my code is a bit sloppy, ok....sloppy. I took bits and pieces of several DD resources over the years and strung them together (ref lead sheet http://www.greenfees.com). Someday when time allow., I will clean it up in accordance with SEP (Software Engineering Procedures) Right now its only me and I am wearing ALL the hats. I thank you once again!!!
