Google Chrome Menu Drop down aligns to left

[shunya]

Folks,

I am working on a page and I am almost done with it however my dropdown menu works perfectly fine in IE however, it aligns to left in google chrome and Safari. Tried various google methods like margin: 0px aouto; etc none of it seems to be working. Help

My CSS file as follows.

#nav 
{
	
	margin: 0px auto;
	padding: 0px;
	list-style-type: none;
	list-style-image: none;
}

	#nav li 
	{
		
		margin: 0px auto;
		padding: 0px;
		float: left;
	}
	
	#navTab01, 
	#navTab02, 
	#navTab03, 
	#navTab04, 
	#navTab05,
	#navTab06,
	#navTab07,
	/*#navTab08*/
	{
		position: relative;
		float: left;
	}
		
		a.mainNavItem, 
		a.mainNavItem:active, 
		a.mainNavItem:visited 
		{
			float: left;
			padding: 0;
			height: 49px;
			background-image: url(../images/structure/mainNav.jpg);
			text-indent: -9999px;
			font-size: 1%;
			overflow: hidden;
		}

Hi shunya,please post a link to the page you are having issues with.

What exactly are you deeming to be correct behaviour? Please clearly explain what you would like to happen.

It appears that you do not have a valid DOCTYPE - address that and that should help to standardise the behaviour across different browsers.

Also, you link to a jQuery library but i don't see any other kind of JavaScript - should there be an additional menu plugin or in-page menu initialisation script that you have forgotten to include? If not, why include the library if you're not using it?

If this is a CSS only menu, have you followed an online tutorial or grabbed the CSS from another website? If you have, please provide the link as there may be something that you've overlooked.
