At this site I use a mega menu at the top and several list menus on the left. All of them perform well, except the menu on the front page. I believe it has to do with loaded modules. When on the front page, only in Internet Explorer, if any modules are loaded on the right, the menu jumps up and down as you resize the page horizontally. It doesn’t matter wide or narrow, but switches back and forth the whole time.

I cannot discover the source of this problem. Does anybody have any recommendations?

After posting the question, I had a few other ideas. Here is more information. It does not matter which modules are loaded in the left position, if there are any modules loaded in the right position, Internet Explorer bounces the modules in the left position. Mind boggling.

Further information. If I switch the layout from left, main, right round to left, main, right square the behavior is the same. If I switch to left, right, main round it is the right position that starts bouncing.

Hi saganomics

I see your site works normally. Could you provided admin account & screenshot where bug was occurred?

Sure, sorry for the delay. I have loaded the polls mod in the right position for non-registered users, so you can see it now right at the home page. http://www.kansasresponder.com/mcid. I am attaching two screenshots, the second of which is only different by dragging a window corner slightly. Really, frustrating. It seems to be based on some funky math because if I reload the page in one of these jumped positions it stays at the bottom.

Hi saganomics

Could you tell me exactly what step I need to do to raise your bug?

Yes, no problem. Open Internet Explorer > goto kansasresponder.com/mcid > grab the right or left sizing border of the window > slowly drag smaller or larger > watch left menu

I have made no headway on this. Has anybody else seen it? It is driving me nuts. If there is any bug that drives me totally berserk, it is the type that only shows itself in IE.

Hi saganomics

I think this issue occurred due to IE calculation. So, you should reduce percent of left column to 24%.

Thank you very much for your help. I suspect you are right. It is difficult to test because the one browser showing the issue does not have a DOM inspector/editor. Changing that width is very difficult in this template.

I have found that the variables that are called in left-rounded.php and main-rounded.php need to be changed, but they don’t seem to affect the output. Also, I don’t think I can change the value of $this->getColumnWidth(‘m’) because other parts of the object may depend on that value.

This thread http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/purity-ii-column-width/ has worn me out and I haven’t figured that out.

//$this->customwidth(‘right1’, 25); <== override right1 column width to 25%. Must call before call definePosition. Can call many time to override many columns.
$this->customwidth(‘inset1’, 23);
// 10 -> 13
// 15 -> 19
// 20 -> 25
// 23 -> 29 <= almost no jumping
// 24 -> 30 <= very little jumping
// 25 -> 31 <= very little jumping
// 30 -> 38
// 35 -> 44 <= no jumping
// 40 -> 50

This is some code from left-main-right.round.php. Only the commented line at the beginning is there by default, but I added the rest. It may look strange, but here is there reason.

In order to set a custom width for the left column in this format you must declare this variable. However, it does not, as the comment says set the percentage to match your value. There is some math function manipulating it along a curve. So the left values are the set values the right values are the output percentage for the left column and how it affected the IE bouncing.

The problem is for the most part fixed, and I’m not sure that it could get any more fixed. It is a strange phenomenon that I wish I fully understood.
