jqueryslidemenu behaves not correctly

[severine]

Hello,

I do have an issue with the jqueryslidemenu I am using for my client's website. He is using safari, firefox, and have 2 or 3 sorts of screen sizes. I have firefox, google chrome, ie 8...And a 20". It looks perfectly normal here, but appears broken (the last UL goes underneath, like if the menu size was too big for the container) on random screens and browsers for some people I asked to have a look at, including my client. I assume I made a mistake in the css. But cannot find it :/ Can somebody help me please? the website is located here: http://www.nouvellezelandeservices.com Does the last ul appears underneath for some of you? Many thanks.

html .jqueryslidemenu{height: 1%;} /*Holly Hack for IE7 and below*/

.jqueryslidemenu{

Only if I zoom in, sounds like they have the default font in browser set larger than yours, I had the same problem with a client one time, they had large default text size I had default, both same browser, they kept telling me the last menu item was under the others, till he checked his font settings...

Thank you very much Dr CSS I am going to have a try and will go back to you! You are great!

Sorry for the delay Dr CSS! Well I told my client to give me their fonts parameters... Still waiting. I will go back to you if it was not the solution And I will add "solved" if it was. Many thanks for your help!! Love cmsms!

Ok so apparently it is a problem of windows vs mac ! After a complete browser testing it appears that this menu problem appears only under mac os . Any idea? Are you aware of any css element that could cause the conflict? Thank you very much.

Well, it was a font problem indeed. In the css I had to simply remove "bold" and play with the size and family fonts. As under mc os helvetica, verdana and arial appears bolder. Many thanks for you advice. Problem solved!

Glad you figured it out...
