Problems with site in Firefox!?!

leeppp222 · 12-13-2004, 02:57 AM

Hi, I wonder if someone can help me!?!

For the past few weeks I have been trying to sort out my website so it shows properly in Fireforx. It is only a small problem but it is one which I feel needs sorting:

When you open the site www.thecvstore.net and click around, some of the pages move slightly to the left - the page still shows correctly but obviously, the more you click around, the more you notice each page moving slightly.

Could anyone here help?

Cheers in advance.

Still looking at the code but for me (1024x76

its only the CV Writing Services page that does the shift, and its a shift to the right (compared to the other pages). I noticed that it was also the only page that wasn't long enough for a scrollbar to appear, so I tested it out with a reduced browser height and there was no 'shift' occuring. I don't know why it stopped doing it once the site was longer then my browser window, but it did stop it from happening.

If your resolution is higher then mine then maybe other pages don't go past the bottom of the window, which would explain why you see more pages shifting. I will continue looking at the code and testing some things out, let you know if I find anything else.

Ok Im an idiot, I just realzied what it was doing. Its just re-centering itself each time. You don't see it in IE because no matter what the page height is, IE always shows a scrollbar, so the viewable area never changes. But with firefox, if the page doesn't extend past the window then there is no scrollbar, which means your browser width will change depending on the length of the page.

Other then making sure all your pages are a full window length (but thats tough since people have different resolutions) there isn't much you can do about it.

Thanks for your advice! I don't think I will be able to make every page fit a full window length so I best leave it as it is - it isn't a major problem, just a bit niggling lol

Lol - I have just seen what you mean - I can't believe I never noticed that before - all makes sense now! Thanks again....
