[thelist] Advice/help on drop-down menus for IE4.5 for Mac

[Andy McNabb]

I'd suggest the staff upgrade to IE5.  4.5 on the Mac is really a
problematic browser and is very difficult to support with DHTML.

As for the alignment problem, add an onresize event to the body tag
triggering the snap layers to realign them if the window is resized.  This
isn't just a Mac issue as the layers are absolutely positioned and so will
loose alignment if the window size is changed.

Also for Mac IE5, you'll have to add marginheight and marginwidth attributes
to your body tag, or the layers will misalign by a few pixels.  This is a
known bug and the only workaround is to use those deprecated tags.

HTH,

Andy
