Open up the follwoing link in Firefox:
http://moodle.sparcc.org:16080/sparcc/i ... ?page=home
Links work fine, until I click on the "SPARCC Newsletter" link to view that page, then rollover the links on the menu above it (Technology Services, then back to Newsletter). The pages "jiggles" left then right while rolling over (without selecting any of the menu links) Doesnt do this in firefox, and only seems to do this once the SPARCC Newsletter page has been chosen then moved onto another link.
thanks

It's to do with the scroll bar down the right hand side of the browser window. In Firefox if the content of the browser window fits the page, or is smaller, you don't get a scroll bar on the right. This only appears as and when it's needed. In IE the scroll bar, or the space which would be occupied by the scroll bar is there as the default. So when the scroll bar is needed in Firefox, the whole of the content of the page is shifted left by the width of said scroll bar.

There are ways to permanently display the scroll bar in Firefox, but personally I'd just leave it. People expect this sort of thing and monitors are getting bigger
.
My struggle has always been to cope with the PDA / Handheld computer size of screen, not so much with stylesheets, but if you've got Java loaded like lightbox/thickbox - which doesn't work to well in Pocket IE or Opera Mobile, (it doesn't fall back to displaying the image either,) - so I guess some browser sniffing may be in order.
