any help guys would be much appriciated.

i am having a problem where my dropdown menu is not aligned correctly with its category when the website first loads up and it is only happening in Google Chrome.

the drop down section is not being displayed underneath the correct category, instead they are being displayed "out of sync" and not underneath the correct category.

however, if i mouseover a category and click one of the links in the drop down menu, they all work perfectly, being displayed under the correct category.

if i leave the website and go back to it, the problem returns and the drop down menu goes back to not being aligned correctly. also the problem returns if i hit F5 at any time when on the site and refresh the page.

i am very confused as the problem only happens when you either first visit the website or refresh the page but then corrects itself once one of the links in the drop down menu is clicked.

i have attached my code underneath so hopefully someone can figure this out as i cannot.

many thanks in advance.

This is the code in my includes/header.php file

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="includes/example1.css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" src="../ie5.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/DropMenu1.js"></script>

You're not explictly declaring the session on for you menu items are you?

Example:

<a class="item2" href="http://theasteriskjigsawpuzzles.com/index.php?cPath=21_28&osCsid=3p7vtt1kd96sh2pjj6b46ce947">100 and Under</a>

Should be written as:

<a class="item2" href="<?php echo tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'cPath=21_28'); ?>">100 and Under</a>

Now, I'm not sure if the session thing is the issue or not, but should be fixed unless you're doing something I am not familar with.

Since your site requires a user name & pass that is the best I can do. I will say that when I trouble shoot browser issues I use the the debuging tools to see what isn't
getting called correctly. Firefox/firebug, Chrome & IE /Developer Tools

thanks for the reply.

i didnt realise you could simply have 'cPath=21_28' without having the full address of the url.

this is a much easier and quicker way.

thanks alot for than.

however the problem is not resolved.

each time the site is first visited the drop down boxes are still unaligned untill a link is clicked, then for some reason they align themselves up and work perfectly.

any other ideas?

sorry about the password protection on the site. the person i am doing the site for does not want this removed untill the site is completely finished.
