photoria template, drop down making the slideshow jump?

Kind of hard to tell for sure, but fooling around in Firebug, it looks like it may be caused by a this <div class="cleaner"> </div> which is between the menu and the slider. The CSS code for it is:

#container div.cleaner {
    clear: both;
    font-size: 1px;
    height: 1px;
    line-height: 1px;
    margin: 0;
}

which looks like it is there to use “clear” below the menu. If you remove the font-size, height and line-height, there is a bigger gap, but the “jump” seems to stop. Then you could try using a negative top margin on the slider div below.

Thanks WPyogi!

I kind of suspected that may be the culprit, but wasn’t sure how to manipulate it…I will def give your advice a go and report back!!!! ??

shoot! I just tried it in firebug lite (I am using Chrome) and I didn’t see any difference…it’s still jumping….just curious as to what browser your using and if that made a difference?

Can you check whether plugins are responsible by de-activating them?

Hey Andrew!

Deactivated the plug-in’s and they are not responsible:/

What now???

You would think this would be simple right?? lol…..

By the way, I just removed the “What’s New” menu item (it was linked back to the home page and didn’t take you anywhere)…so the only one now with a sub menu is the “About Us” …. but the jump is still a concern because “About Us” is the only one with a sub menu….for now. Once the client gets the site, they may add sub-menu items so I want to resolve this glitch.

Thanks for all your help:)

It’s to-do with your dropdown menu.
If you position the dropdown menu absolute, the issue disappears (but formatting goes too).

We can still resolve this if you’re interested.

absolutely! (no pun intended, lol) please help!

Try adding this CSS;

#menu li {
 position: relative;
}

.submenu {
 position: absolute;
 right: 0;
 top: 0;
}

Thanks Andrew!

Unfortunately the .submenu conde didn’t really have much effect. The menu was still out of place but overall, I’m pretty sure I can get it right from here….I just wanted that darn jump to stop, and it has….thank you so much for your help (everyone) and if I have any other questions I will pop back in:)

All the best!

okay sooooo….changing the position of the menu to absolute fixed what i needed to fix but created a new problem that i noticed the other day…now the menu collapses as one resizes the browser window…i dont want it to do that:(

is it either/or? or can i have both?
