HI, I broke the problem down into the fact that somehow jQuery is not able to handle show/hide of Lists inside a talbe correctly with Safari/ Chrome. Using fadeIn and fadeOut works though, but I really would like to use show/hide as the effect is much nicer.
Here is an example code that demonstrates that the right row will always jump in Chrome and Safari: <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"; type="text/ javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> $(document).ready(function(){ //Hide all subsubmenus $(".subcategories").css("display","none"); }); </script> <table border="1" width="600px"> <tr> <td valign="top" width="300px"> <a href="" onmouseover="$('.subcategories:not(#29)').hide('fast');$ ('#29').show('fast');" >Wohnungen</a> <ul class="subcategories" id="29"> <li><a href="" title="Maisonette">Maisonette</a></li> </ul> <p> <a href="" onmouseover="$('.subcategories:not(#16)').hide('fast');$ ('#16').show('fast');" >Freundschaften</a> </td> <td valign="top" width="300px"> Row 2 </td> </tr> </table> Or am I overlooking something? Thank you for any help on that! Merlin On Sep 21, 9:39 pm, Merlin <ngro...@fastmail.fm> wrote: > Hi there, > > I am building a simple show/hide list with the help of jquery.
