help, my list is broken and I can't get up.
Hey yall.
I’m still learning these css rules. The main issue I am having is that the < li > element is stuck kind of low, and I can’t figure out a parent element that might be effecting it this way. As well, it is acting different in both Safari and Firefox, which I’m not entirely used to considering both browsers are generally standards friendly.
Anyhow here’s the CSS if anyone’s interested in helping.
Thanks a bunch,
Matthew
ps. for that matter, I’m not entirely sure how it looks in IE at the moment.

Re: help, my list is broken and I can't get up.
This is what i looks like in IE.
Even though it doesn’t look like that in Firefox it seems that #top_nav_images is sticking out from inside #header just like what IE is showing. It’s just not forcing #header to grow in Firefox because of the way Firefox handles overflow (IE grows the container Firefox doesn’t)
The problem seems to be with the UL inside #top_nav_images. It’s probably inheriting the padding-bottom from general UL rule on line 77.
DOM inspector is your friend for stuff like this. I also find it useful to give my elements different background colors to visualize how big or small they are when I’m blocking things out. Just to give you an idea.
#top_nav_images ul is red, while #top_nav_images ul li is blue. You can see how th UL sticks out further down then you want.
Sorry not near my Mac to check Safari. Oh and nice design.

Patrick,
Thanks man. Yeah, I need to get the DOM inspector running on FF. I heard there is one for Safari, but it looks like its still a bit buggy?
Anyhow, thanks for pointing out that silly error. I really should have guessed that one. Hmm, log in brain.
On a seperate note, if you’re tracking this thread, how’s the img_popper plugin coming along? I’m getting two clients ready for their sites at the end of this month and mid march. I’d be really stoked to train them with the img_popper rollin, and thus I’d be up to throwing some dosh your way if that would encourage you any?
Hope VA is treating you well.
Peace,
Matthew

The DOM inspector is definitely a must. I’ve been trying out Firebug and it’s pretty nice, it’s kind of a combination error console, dom inspector. I have to check out that Safari one, but I do tend to spend most of my time in Camino these days.
I’m hoping to finish an update to hak_tinymce this weekend and then most of my time will be dedicated to img_popper. Luckily work is easing up too so I won’t be burned out on coding when I get home, which always helps.
I always welcome donations :)
