still further fix for IE5 image positioning


HierMenus
CENTRAL
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This column introduces a new version of the hierarchical menu script. All information is valid at the time of writing. New browser versions released after publication may not behave as outlined. The script is constantly under revision, with new features added, problems fixed and new browser versions addressed.
Read this column, and future columns, to learn how we built the menu script.
Use the most recent version of the script, always available in HierMenus Central.


This addendum deals with a fix to the Hierarchical Menus Version 3 script for proper "more" image positioning in Internet Explorer 5, for Windows and Macintosh.
You must be familiar with the script to appreciate the discussion.

Welcome to the tenth-and-a-third maintenance release of Hierarchical Menus, Version 3.

Our HierMenus columns can be appreciated by all DHTML developers and HierMenus fans. If you plan to use HierMenus on your own Web site, however, you will need to purchase a HierMenus license. Contact Barry Pullen via our contact form or call him at (203) 662-2868 for further information (be sure to let her know how you plan to use HierMenus and tell him a bit about your organization, as well).

In our previous two maintenance releases, Versions 3.10.1 and 3.10.2, we fixed problems with the "more" image positioning for IE5. It seems that we didn't finish the job. There is still a minor problem which can be easily fixed. Our thanks to John Fullerton for the heads-up and fix testing.

The Problem

If you are using IE5, you will have displayed top-level menus similar to the screenshots below:

Left Menu - Good PositioningRight Menu - Bad Positioning

In Version 3.10.2, we fixed the item double-line problem. The left menu is fine and it has a double-line item. Why does the right menu have a problem?
