Hi Noah,

	To take care of the first problem, just set 

menu.style.left = "0px";

right after you define menu in the initializeMenu function (in menu.js).
As for the second, I'm afraid I haven't found any good solutions to that
one yet.

Cheers,

Peter Brunone

Subject: [thelist] horizontal scrollbar in IE/Win


I'm getting an unnecessary horizontal scrollbar in IE/Win on a site I 
just launched. I think that it has something to do with the drop-down 
menu, but I'm not positive.

When the page first loads in a browser window narrower than 858 pixels, 
a horizontal scrollbar appears even though there is no content beyond 
the right side of the window. The scrollbar disappears when you mouse 
over the last item in the main horizontal menu, "Resources". The menu is

a drop-down, so I wonder if the browser is leaving too much space for 
the drop-down menu to appear. If so, does any one know of a solution for

this?

A possibly related issue: when the browser window is narrower than 769 
pixels, the menu jumps to the right when you first mouseover then off of

it after the page has loaded. After it has moved once, it stays put and 
works fine.

Both of these issues only affect IE/Win, as far as I can tell. Versions 
5.5 and 6 both exhibit this behaviour.

The site is here:

I would also welcome any other comments about the site.

Thanks for any advice.

Cheers,
Noah
