Having problems with non-IE browsers

[gb]

I did a menu using list items.
Safari and Firefox users are complaining.
Can I post it here for inspection?

Thanks

Yes. Send an URL, please.
But I would recommend to check if it's valid HTML/CSS first.

No, you can't post it. Just give a URL to the live problem.

Sorry, I am checking my newsgroups through Google and I have had some
problems.
OK, on with the CSS.

Hi,

I can't see any problem, using Firefox 1.01.
Looks nice.

Do you mean the flickering when moving the mouse cursor over the menu links?

It looks like the Mozilla/Firefox opacity flicker bug where a brief flicker
occurs when changing to 100% opacity. One workaround I found was to make
sure the opacity never reaches 100% but instead is clipped to something like
99.99%

However, your page doesn't seem to set the opacity anywhere. Maybe the <ul>
and <li> items are causing it.
Maybe this link will help instead -

You didn't mention what the problem is supposed to be, but I'll tell you
a couple things I ran into right away:

- Your specified text size is way too small for me to read. At enlarged
text sizes (150%+) much of the text in those fixed-size boxes disappears
and becomes inaccessible.

- The navigation menu items flicker on :hover because you're switching
between bold and normal font-weight. This is distracting and annoying.
Don't change font properties that would cause a reflow. Stick with a
color change if you need to do anything.

Sorry I did not mention the specific problem.
It is the flickering of the menu. It seems to be caused by the Google
Ads.
When I hover over the menu it flickers.

I must confess I have not heard of Opacity. Do I need to set that in
all div's?
Or just the div's that are causing me problems now. Like the Left side
menu?

OK, thanks Kchayka! I changed the font weight to all bold and am
changing the text color on hover.

Is anyone trying this in Safari? How does it work for you?

Using FireFox, there is flickering during the load of the Google ads,
but then everything is fine. Is that due to Opacity?

Using IE 6 I have a problem selecting text. Like If I want to
highlight one line for copy on say this page...

Is that a problem with the placement of my .clr{clear:both;} ?

Thanks.

The FireFox flickering happens only when you do a refresh and not
during the initial load.
Is this a problem with the div properties I am using to contain the
Google ad?
I think that div might be inheriting a property I don't want from a
parent div, but I don't know what.
Any thoughts on this?
