Could some of you please carefully check the left menu when you first view the site and see if you have the same problem.

www.sanfordnavalacademy.com

The problem is that when I first viewed the site, the left menu jumps over to the main content area (center column) but as soon as I click on something or minimize size the browser and then maximize, it works fine thereafter. This only occurs the FIRST TIME when you view the site and only on occassion.

As far as I know, this has only occurred using IE6 by me and another user. Seems to work fine in Firefox, Opera and Netscape. (love to have a feedback from Safari users).

If you know what the problem is, I'd appreciate a resolution.

Thanks for you time.

Try adding position:relative; to your menu CSS.

Thanks for responding.

I tried that to no avail. This seems to be occur in IE only.

Still open for suggestions.

You don't seem to have the closing ul for your menu. Edit it looks like you changed your menu a bit.

I did edit it. Originally it was without the <ul> and I had this problem and so someone told me to use the <ul>. It didn't solve it and so I reverted back to my original code.

Of all the users that have viewed the site the first time, about 25% had the same problem and only in IE.

What I have failed to ask was what OS they are running on. Mine is XP Professional and it works fine in Win 98 on my other computer.

Validate your CSS!
* Line: 33 Context : p.text

Invalid number : float center is not a float value : center
* Line: 34 Context : p.text

Invalid number : padding-bottom -50.0 negative values are not allowed : -50px

This did not apply to any pages and so it has been removed.

Thanks.

Try adding position:relative; to your menu CSS.

After reviewing further about adding position:relative; and was given the same suggestion by another, I found that your advice is correct. I just did not add it to the appropiate location before.

Thank you!
