Re: [WSG] naughty horizontal unformatted list in OSX IE 5.2 - Mac-addicts needed!

[Zachary Hopkins]

Here's a quick reference to the css for my nav bar:
ul.navigation{margin:0;padding:0;border-style:none;border-width:0;display:table-cell;}
li.navigation{display:block;float:left;text-align:center;padding:0 3px 0 
3px;margin:0;font-size:120%;font-weight:bold;}

Such as,
<ul class="navigation">
 <li class="navigation"><a...></a></li>
 <li class="navigation"><a...></a></li
</ul>
It's probably a combination of things, like float:left and display:block.

Hi Zachary,
I'll take a better look at your link bar and see if I can work out why
yours works and my doesn't...  thanks :)
nb. In my CSS, the LI's are floated left and it doesn't seem to help...
Regards,
Miles.

I've got a horizontal link bar on my site, 
http://www.hopkinsprogramming.net/, it works fine in IE 5 on 
Mac.  Try adding *float:left* to the navigation items.

Hi all,
I've managed to get this horizontal menu working in most 
     

browsers that 
   

it needs to, but IE 5.2 on OSX is being painful (not surprisingly).  
The original HTML was provided by another designer who 
     

seemed to build 
   

standard-compliant sites differently to me so I've changed 
     

most of the 
   

menus to use unformatted lists.  The Top Menu list refuses to go 
horizontal, instead it just stacks the list items.  Also the links 
don't even work!  A nested list is supposed to popup when 
     

hovering over 
   

'Components', however I expected that to be a problem.
Example page

CSS
http://career.uat.edna.edu.au/styles/acdsScreen.css
I'm running out of hair trying to get a nice solution, so 
     

before I give 
   

in and use a hack to hide the styles from OSX IE 5.2, has 
     

anyone been 
   

able to fix a similar problem?
