Drop down menus broken on www.organalley.com?

[Guest]

Hi--

I'd like to see more of this site, but it appears that the navigation menus are broken at the top level. It looks as though they are meant to be drop down menus, but they display in "dropped" position (covering other content on the page), and there are no active hyperlinks. In contrast everything within the forum section works fine. Embedded hyperlinks on th epage are just fine.

I'm viewing the site with Firefox 1.5.0.6 on a Mac running OSX 10.4.7. It's also broken in Safari. I don't have a PC with Explorer available to see if this is the result of some non-standard Micro$oft glitch.

Cheers,

Hi Roger.

Thanks for that. I will have to look into that problem. I have only just put the menu system in place, so yours is the only feedback I have had so far.

I only have Internet Explorer on my PC so I have not been able to test the site on other browsers.

Do the picture 'thumbnails' display OK and if so, does the picture viewer open when you click on a thumbnail?


Thanks for your feedback,

Best regards,

Hi Dave--

The thumbnails are fine, and open correctly.

I'm now on my PC at home also running Firefox and the problem exists here too.

Much as I hate to do it (it seems I always end up infected with some malware) I fired up IE and tried it and the menus work fine there.

I'm guessing you've used some Microsoft-only software that standards-based browsers don't recognize. I use Frontpage to make my web sites and have discovered through hard experience that MS does this sort of thing without warning. I'm not enough of a web programming expert to suggest an alternative. At the least you might want to include a set of normal hyperlinks at the bottom of the page as alternate navigation aids.

My experience so far is that if it works well on Firefox it will work acceptably everywhere (IE, Safari, and Opera anyway), so it's worthwhile downloading Firefox to use for testing (you may well also grow to like it as your everyday browser-- on my kids computer making the switch reduced the amount of adware, spyware, etc by ~95%)

Cheers,
Roger

Hi Roger.

I have fixed the new menus and it should now display OK on Firefox.

I still have a number of problems to resolve, EG the 'Member' menus are still to be allocated once I have decided what I am going to do with them!

Please have a look and let me know.

Hi Roger.

I have tested the Organ Alley website on a Firefox browser (running on Windows XP) and everything seems to display OK.
