Ok, I’ve posted about this somewhere else, but for some reason it says it’s solved but it really isn’t, so I’m re-posting in the hopes that someone else will see it. I apologize for the double-post, but I really need a hand and don’t want it to go unnoticed.

Anyway…

A bizarre thing is happening on my website. I have a menu across the top, and a menu on the right column.

When I pass my mouse over the top menu, part of my website is moved down. Then if I pass my mouse over the menu on the right, it all moves back up.

I’ve noticed that this problem only happens in Internet Explorer (I have version 7 installed). I have attached a gif file to illustrate the problem:

This is my website: http://www.endinmind.com
Running: Joomla 1.5.8
Template: JA-Pyrite

Thanks in advance for taking the time to look at my post and helping me out!

Can you disable the foldout flash thingy and see if the problem continues? On IE6 there are two warnings when opening the page asking if you wish to continue but it does not say what the errors are. The menus do not bounce the page in IE6.

Scotty,

The problem persists with the flash module disabled.

I’m wondering if the culprit is the menu on the right and not the top menu? The change really only happens when the mouse is passed over the menu on the right.

I have very limited css knowledge, so I’m totally lost.

Thanks for taking the time to this! 🙂

Does anyone else have a clue of what could be causing this to happen? I’m in desperate need to solve this! So far my attempts to resolve this have taken me nowhere. 🙁

nashlah;105808I’m wondering if the culprit is the menu on the right and not the top menu?

I think if it were the menu on the right it would happen on all pyrite sites and not just yours so it’s got to be something unique to your site.

The part that is being collapsed is an empty area at the top of a table. I notice that your Flash module is set to 272px high but the images in it are only 249px high. Also in the .css the topsl (The position the falsh module is in) is 272px also.

I suggest you open your module in the module manager and set the height to 249px and open template.css and find line 1078…

#ja-topsl {
clear:both;
height:272px;
margin:0 0 30px;
overflow:hidden;
padding:0;
}

and change height: 272px to 249px

let me know how you get on.

Scotty,

That didn’t work – it’s still doing it.
Wow I’ve never been this stumped before! Grrr

On the ‘speaking’ page where there isn’t a menu on the right the problem doesn’t happen, that is why I thought it was associated with the menu. It seems like somehow it triggers the problem. I don’t know!

****, I thought that would solve it.

You have the flash module enabled on all pages. Try disabling it on one and see if it happens on that page.

Do you have a joomlapack backup you could send me by any chance?

Scotty,

When I disable the Flash modules the problem persists.

I have an exact replica of the website here: http://demo.nashlah.com/

I will PM you the login details, and of course if anyone else wants to give it a try let me know and I’ll send you the login details as well.

Thanks a bunch, Scotty!

nashlah,

I would recommend you take the login information, and your login information out of this post for security reasons. Would be better to pm them instead.

Thanks bennitos and scotty!

I have removed the info… I don’t know what I was thinking! :confused:

On your proper live sites template.css find on line 634….

#ja-containerwrap,
#ja-containerwrap-fr,
#ja-containerwrap-fl,
#ja-containerwrap-f {
margin:0;
padding:20px 0;
}

and change to…

#ja-containerwrap,
#ja-containerwrap-fr,
#ja-containerwrap-fl,
#ja-containerwrap-f {
margin:0;
padding:0;
}

Don’t ask. I don’t know. :confused: But it’s fixed!

Also… change your topsl back to 272px as some of your flash modules are bigger than others.

template.css (line 1002)

#ja-topsl {
clear:both;
height:272px;
margin:0 0 30px;
overflow:hidden;
padding:0;
}
