Ul.hmb ul alignment problem ie7 and lower only

So to my knowledge the menu on my site works correctly in all other browsers except ie7 and lower. As a last resort I have turned to conditional style sheets for ie7 and previous versions to take care of this problem. Here's a link to my site: http://geekpowwow.com
My style sheets are large and probably a little disorganized so i'll post the relevant rules here. I'll post one ul and if you guys have any thoughts on how to solve this problem please let me know. (I have removed a#li and div.menubaralign from the ie7 css)

ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul
     padding: 0;
     list-style-type: none;
     font-size: 100%;
     z-index: 1020;
     cursor: default;

     marin:0;
     width: 12em;
     height: 40px;
     border:0;
As you would expect from the code here the drop down is left aligned directly below the menu bar li. Any ideas about why margin-left:-8em won't center, or even move the list from the current position?

  • Problems with IE7 and FF

    Hello,
    I'm facing a problem in my site. I have a table located
    inside another table. My inner table contains text.
    I'm using a css file to define the inner table properties. I
    used 'position: absolute' to define the inner-table text top
    position but got some problems with it in IE7 and firefox.
    Once deleting the absolute position I'm not able to get my
    text be align to the top on the cell, it keeps being painted in the
    center of the cell.
    How do I solve this issue?
    The problem is in:

    and also in:

    Thanks,

    Vertically align the outer table cell which contains your
    inner table.
    like this:
    <td width="82%" height="235" valign="top"
    bgcolor="#FFFFB9">

  • Acrobat 9 Pro  sizing and aligning problem

    Is there a setting for checkbox default size. when I try to select the box handels to reduce the size I can never get the all the same size. Any tips on this ?
    ALSO
    I am having dificalty in aligning the left and right edges of the Text boxes I have 7 text fields (one above the other) the "Align" function does not seem to work or is very slow.
    any help please.

    Adobe Tech support was most helpful on this.  First download the updated
    Distiller ICC profile files at:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/thankyou.jsp?ftpID=4075&fileID= 3790
    Unzip the file and copy only the *.icc files (without regard to the subfolders that they are in - in other words, take the files out of each of the subfolders) to the followng folder in Windows 7:
    c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color
    These new files will probably overwrite some old ones.
    This solved the problem for me.
    This is actually the best solution though I found that instead of copying all the .icc files to the windows\sys...  folder, all you need to do is copy the 3 Video files from the RGB folder (VideoHD.icc, VideoNTSC.icc, and VideoPAL.icc).  Once you add these three files to  c:\windows\system32\spool\drivers\color  you will be good to go.
    It seems that this was an error on the part of Adobe in that there is no reason to include Video files for printing.  Nevertheless, the distiller will look for these and return the ICC profile error message if those files are not present.

  • Keynote 9 and objects alignment problems

    Why keynote does not align object using the first one selected as stated in the user guide?
    It will rather use the highest one for top, the lowest one for bottom and a ponderate value for all objects for middle.
    Same problem for left center right.
    If I do align top with an order like (1 being the 1st selected, 2 the 2nd and 3 the 3rd).
         2                                             1     2          3
    1                       I end up with                              Rather than 1     2          3
                   3
    If I do align top with
         3                                             2     3          1
    2                      I end up with                               Rather than
                   1                                                                                      2     3          1
    Can this be changed somewhere?
    This is just not logical at all. The first object should be the reference for the alignment.
    There also is a problem with distribution, it uses the farthest left and the farthest right in Horizontal distribution rather
    than first and last selected.
    This is against the documentation.
    Cheers.
    Joffrey.

    Hello.
    Thanks for your reply. Indeed, these alignment guides are a powerful and great tool that I use all the time.
    Nevertheless when it comes to aligning a big amount of shapes, I can't be bothered doing it one by one.
    In the manual of Keynote 09' it is written page 89 and 90:
    Quickly Aligning Objects Relative to One Another
    You can use menu commands to quickly move objects on the same slide in alignment or space them equally apart. First, you must select all the objects you want to align (hold down the Shift or Command key as you click each object to select it).
    To align selected objects:
    m    To align the objects with each other, choose Arrange > Align Objects and then choose one of the alignment options in the submenu.
    Left:  Positions objects so that their left edges align vertically to the first object you select.
    Center:  Positions objects so that their centers align vertically to the first object you select.
    Right:  Positions objects so that their right edges align vertically to the first object you select.
    Top:  Positions objects so that their top edges align horizontally to the first object you select.
    Middle:  Moves objects vertically so that their centers align horizontally to the first object you select.
    Bottom:  Positions objects so that their bottom edges align horizontally to the first object you select.
    There is a discrepency between the manual and what Keynote actually does.
    I know there are lots of way to circumvent this alignment problem, I would just want to know if there is a place, in a config file, may be where this can be switch from topper to first one for example in case of an align top.
    Any other tools such as Omnigrafle, Axure, Visio, Adobe suites, you name it, do it using the first selected object. I whish Keynote would act as expected.

  • CSS and DIV alignment problem in IE6

    I am working on a new site based on a DW template. I have
    modified the right layout slightly for a flash header and also for
    a footer div. I am also using alternate CSS files to fix IE6
    display problems.
    The site looks correct in IE7 and Safari, but in IE6
    something is causing the right DIV to collapse. I have tried

  • Upper and lower case Username creates Contact, Calendar, Note acces problems

    Dear All
    Maybe someone has a solution for this or discovered the same case. Our server infrastructer is using Username with upper and lower case letters e.g "Galler".
    Pushing these access data (Username, server adress etc.) for E-Mail, Contact, Calendar and Notes via the profile manager creates problems for the Contact, Calendar and Notes access, because profiles is rechanging the username in all lower case letters "galler". For the E-Mail it is not the case.
    Every help would be very appreciated. Maybe some solution in using username alias with only lower case letters, but I don't no how to establish.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

  • PhotoSmart 8450 aligning the cartridges and color matchingr problems

    I have problems with aligning the cartridges and color matching on my PhotoSmart 8450 printer.
    Aligning the cartridges
    I just replaced a cartridge on my PhotoSmart 8450 printer. I always use the original Vivera cartridges.
    After replacing the 343 tricolor cartridge, the 100 gray cartridge suddenly gave smudge results.
    I did a lot of Clean cartridges and Align cartridges before getting acceptable results.
    The clean cartridges printout still gives small imperfections in the top grids.
    Color matching
    Most of the time I print on plain paper. Ocasionally I try to print photographs.
    In fact my PhotoSmart 8450 never really printed photographs in the right colors.
    Always too much blue and too little red... To solve this I decided to use ColorMunki Photo.
    But on the Colormunki test print some of the colors are smudgy.
    The settings are Paper type (HP Premium Plus Glossy), Quality (Best: 600dpi, PhotoREt), Real Life Photography (everything off), Color Management (I tried ColorSmart/sRGB or Managed by Application).
    The result is stripes and or smudgy appearance in some of the colors.
    Doing the same on plain paper (Standard or Best;  ColorSmart/sRGB) gives good results.
    What can I do to solve both problems?
    Thanks for helping.

    Hi,
    It looks as if you have done a lot of troubleshooting already, however it maybe that the cartridge is displaying minor color mix which should be apparent if you try to follow procedure in this support link, the stripes or small imperfections you have mentioned may be linked to partially missing color or colors which could also contribute to the appearance of photographs printing in the right colors.
    Hopefully this will give some assistance in resolving the issue.
    Thanks

  • Problem: Voice is lower and tempo slower than recorded

    I create a new project and slow the tempo to 95. Then I record a keyboard track. Good so far.
    Then I create a new "real instrument" track. Sing along using the built in microphone. Select the track and deselect the Follow Tempo & Pitch checkbox (checking or unchecking this box has no effect on problem).
    My problem is that my voice is lower and my pitch slower than I actually sang. Does any know what I am doing wrong or how to fix?
    Thanks in advance-

    Seriously, this problem of the recording being slower and lower than the actual pitch is a major concern. This has been happening both with the internal microphone and with a usb audio interface. From my experience with other programs, I think it has to do with the sampling rate, something like 44100Hz vs 48000Hz etc., but I have no idea how to change that in Garageband; and particularly no idea how to change it (to salvage a decent take) after I have recorded. This problem has been very frustrating and has turned an otherwise user-friendly program into a nightmare.

  • IE7 and web.show_document

    We run a forms application using 9.0.4 on IAS10gR1, JInitiator is 1.3.1.13. We often use web.show_document to display files (usually pdfs, but also other types) that are stored as blobs in the db or as files on the app server. From time to time users complain that this feature doesn't work anymore. In most cases this is caused by a popup blocker, either IE, or they use Firefox, or have installed Google's or Yahoo's toolbar with their popup blockers enabled.
    But now we are facing problems with users that have installed IE7. When they try to show a file which should be displayed using web.show_document, a new window flickers shortly and then disappears, even with the popup blocker disabled.
    Anybody out there with the same experience and (hopefully) a solution/workaround?
    And yes, I know that IE7 is not yet certified.
    Thanks in advance.
    Gerald

    We had the same problem opening files through web.show_document with IE7. It has to do with the Download settings in your Internet or LocalIntranet zones under Tools > Internet Options > Security > Select the zone > Custom level > Downloads group > Automatic prompting for file downloads setting.
    These prohibit IE7 to ask the user about downloading a file. That's why the new browser window closes right away. You could either change the settings for Internet and lower the security for all sites, or add your Forms server to Local intranet or even TrustedSites and set these up properly.

  • My CP1518NI prints with out of alignment. Calibrating and updating firmware did nothing. Fix?

    My CP1518ni prints out of alignment.  I tried re-calibrating several times with no change.  I updated the firmware, also without any improvement.  I override the message that my toner cartridges are out so that I can use all of the toner.  Some say that that causes alignment problems.  How can I solve this problem.  My operating system is Windows 7 (64 bit).  I would appreciate any help.  Thank you.

    I am having the same problem. It just started happening after nearly two years. I ran a diagnostics page and it is the magenta that is off. The magenta bar on the bottom of the page is at an angle. It  is aligned on the right but on the left side it is about 1/16th of an inch low. I also updated the firmware and ran the calibration twice. I have 1/3 of toner left in the magenta, black and cyan. The yellow is getting down to about 15% left. I would love a solution. 

  • Flash buttons not working in IE7 and Chrome

    Here's my website where the problem is occuring www.bakercreative.co.uk
    As you can see the Flash buttons animate, but when clicked they should go to a new html page.
    I've tested it in IE8 and Firefox without any problems but it's not working in IE7 and Chrome.
    Does anyone know what the problem is? Could it be the html code or the flash file itself?
    Thanks

    Hi, Glad you were able to solve that issue with the buttons and Chrome. Any small thing can cause big problems!! LOL
    I'm sure IE7 will test out ok, IE6 did Your website is very nice and has a variety! I hope it all comes together for you.

  • Ios7.1 causing web pictures to show very grainy and low resolution.  Help!

    Since I've updated to ios7.1, I've noticed that pictures on a lot of apps have become very grainy and low-res (think 2002 dial-up loading images), yet pictures I take with my camera are fine.  I tried saving one to see if it was just a temporary display problem but the final saved image would come in clear, but the problem continues.  I thought maybe it was part of the visual assistance that came with 7.1 but if it is, I certainly can't find a way to turn it off.  Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it?  Additional info is that I'm using an iPhone 5c.  I don't know if this is going on with any other models, but a friend of mine is having the same issue with his 5c.  Thanks in advance!

    My phone has been having the exact same issue. Every time I try to look at an image in safari it is grainy and pixelated. I have the 5 and two of my friends who have the 5c are having the same problem. Hopefully Apple will soon put forth a new update to fix this bug that the 7.1 update caused!

  • IDVD problem burning and multiplexing - gets stuck but ejects the DVD and the DVD doesn't play

    I am having trouble burning DVDs.  Everything seems to be working fine during the iDVD project creation.  I can watch the movie and select scenes within iDVD.  Then, when I go to burn the DVD, it gets stuck at the burning/multiplexing stage - the wheel just keeps spinning and says there is about a minute left.  Yet it ejects the DVD and the DVD won't play when inserted into a DVD player.  It will show the intro and the scene selection pages but when you click on one of the scenes, it gets stuck and doesn't play.  I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iDVD.  The problem persists.  It seems like the burner itself is the problem.  What can I do to fix it?  I have Mac OS X Version 10.6.8 with a 2.8 GHzintel Core 2 Duo and iDVD version 7.0.4.

    Hi
    Multiplexing error is a very complex problem due to many things (long long list following) - one common but not obvious reason is that material on the iDVD menu goes outside the TV-Safe area (or just touching it).
    So first - turn on TV-Safe area and move any object well inside of this.
    Wide screen stretched - usually (as I think) it is due to making a 4x3 movie in a 16x9 wide-screen project OR the other way around. This forces one to on flat-screen TV (or other) set the presenting view right - My has 4x3, wide-screen, zoom and auto-wide-screen and I have to switch this by my remote for some DVD I've made "wrong" way.
    Now my long long list on Multiplex Error
    LONG LONG LONG LIST
    Multiplexing Error
    PART One.
    Use of strange video/audio material e.g. .avi, .wmv, .mp3 etc.
    I only use.
    Video - StreamingDV (miniDV tape via FireWire) and
    Audio - .aiff (as on audio-CDs) (else converted to this .aiff 48KHz)
    Photo - .jpg (.bmp known problematic)
    Chapters !
    A.    Using strange letters in video project name e.g. +,/; etc. keep to a-z and 0-9 strange letters in project name e.g. +
    as described by Donnyboy69.  Does the title of your project have any symbols or decimal points in it. If so, that is why you are getting the error. I had a project that had a + sign which caused the same problem. I renamed it without the symbol and low and behold, it worked.
    B.    Location of Chapters
    • Can’t be at start or end of movie (Skip first/start one - iDVD sets this by it self. At the End - no need)
    • Not in a transition (or within 2-3 seconds from it)
    Important when from iMovie HD6 or previous - Now also observed when using FCE 4
    PART Two.
    from Robert Modero.
    "Multiplexing Error. Problem during initialization of tracks"
    Simply remember to add subtitles to your Quicktime files and menu buttons.
    Once I did that, I was back in business.

    Do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    I always makes a DiskImage first and test this so that it runs OK
    I use only - Verbatim DVDs
    I use only - DVD-R
    I burn at an as slow speed possibly e.g. x1
    This gives good DVDs
    PART Three.
    Multiplex Error
    Chuck, Chicago 2/7/2009.
    Back again. Here is what I have found to work. I also have and use a LaCie DVD-R/RW DL external drive and a LaCie external hard drive as well. Since yesterday I have tried a few ways to burn a themed iDVD project having four 56 minute movies on it, amounting to 226 minutes onto a DVD DL disc, capacity 240 minutes. Apple tech support really didn't know what to do but gave me a very good tip. I had two options left. Apple tech support's tip was to try disc image. One of the replies on a thread with this subject said not to, but my experience today is good. Put your project onto "Burn to disc image," under "iDVD, file." Yesterday encoding took me 23 1/2 hours. Overnight for iDVD disc image, encoding took 21 1/2 hours (again) while I slept. This morning I tried to copy/burn disc image to a DVD with Roxio Toast 7, and it stopped near the end of the burn with some kind of "error" message. So then I tried Utilities> Disc Utility> Burn icon, and followed it through. Be sure to click the DVD DL drive in the window "Burn disc in.". I had one other problem though. At the end of a 46 minute copy, it started to verify, and at the end of verify it rejected the burn. So I tried again, and when "verify" appeared, I clicked on "Skip." The disc finished burning and is doing fine and well. A long and tortuous process, but at last something works. I made several additional copies using Disc Utility. Best wishes. Chuck, Chicago.
    2. Disconnect any other external devices not absolutely needed.
    e.g. external USB/USB2 hard disks, other FW hard disks etc.
    3 Chapter marks in transitions - minimum 2 sec from
    FROM Bev.
    (Not a 'guy' but I will answer!)
    First, I do not think that mixing wide-screen and standard makes a difference in iDVD.
    Second, you should use a better brand of DVD disk. Also, many of us have experienced fewer problems on playback with DVD-R disks. Recommended brands here are Verbatim, Maxell and Taiyo Yuden. Memorex and TDK are not consistent and may not give you a correct burn. They apparently have fewer layers in the composition of the disk. I have always used Verbatim DVD-R disks and have not had any burn problems.
    Also, choose a slower burn speed, 4x or less.
    Third, to determine if the iDVD project will burn properly, create a disk image file (from within iDVD, go File->Save as Disk Image) and test it. Mount the disk image and then open DVD Player (in Applications) and view your project. If it plays correctly, you can then burn the actual DVD disk from the disk image file using Disk Utility.
    From. Boise, Idaho
    I did everything I've seen suggested, but a friend (who used to be an Apple Genius) suggested that I do a safe reboot (by holding down the shift key until you see the spinning gear on gray background, then release, then restart when your start-up screen appears).
    It worked, and I got a clean burn from iDVD.
    Hopefully this can help other people.
    by dheb0422
    Well, I finally got it, and it was odd enough to post here incase anyone looks this topic up again. Many things were tried, including burning the unedited film, the edited film without titles and chapter markers, abbreviating the chapter markers in case length was the issue (remember the old iMovie used to truncate them when moving to iDVD?). In the process, I noticed that one, and only one, chapter marker was on the same line as the title marker. All the others were on the line above. The only way I seemed able to change that was to clip a few seconds of film. After that last clip, the offending marker took a place on the line above, as were all the others. That run published, compiled completely and burned. That's one for the books.
    One user more writes
    To add my experience with Multiplex Errors using iDVD (7.0.4), I recently created two iDVD projects
    Video from both passed from FCE 4.01 with chapters
    One project worked fine in creating disk image file
    The other gave Multiplex Errors
    I tried suggestions to remove special characters and no chapter marks at beginning, but nothing worked
    Note that I've used iDVD for dozens of projects and this is first time I've run into Multiplex Errors
    Anyway, for problem project, I tried an experiment where I removed all chapters in FCE and passed to new iDVD project
    This time multiplex errors gone
    So had something to do with chapters
    So now I tried numerous experiments to remove individual chapters and try again creating disk image with new iDVD project
    After numerous tries, I was able to narrow problem down to 1 "Bad" chapter mark
    That is, when I left the "bad" chapter in my FCE project and passed to iDVD, iDVD gave multiplex error
    When I removed "bad" chapter mark (and others in), no multiplex error
    As a final experiment, I moved "bad" chapter mark about 5-10 sec's beyond original point and passed to iDVD, the multiplex errors now magically went away and I was able to finally create my disk image.
    I have no idea why this worked, but thought I'd mention here in case someone else runs into similar problem.

    In addition to Bengt's fine advice, burning errors can occur if you have located any of your menu buttons wholly or partly outside of the safe TV viewing area. Go to your main project menu, then click on View/Show TV Safe Area, to check. Drag into the safe viewing area any buttons that are outside the safe viewing area.
    Russ One - suggest this
    Multiplex Error-There was an error during muxing preparation
    One thing that worked for me was to export the video w/o chapter markers as a self contained movie (thereby not loosing the edits & etc). Then make a new FCE project and import that movie into a new sequence and add the chapter markers. I've used "-", "&" and "," with no problem in the chapter names. Removing the markers or exporting without them did solve the problem but renaming them with just numbers 1,2,3....5, did not solve the problem and since this problem seems to happen with with iMovie as well, it would suggest the problem is in the video or audio and in combination with the chapter markers iDVD just can't handle it. The only other possibility is that both iMovie and FCE share the same or similar chapter marker code that some how is corrupting the markers.
    Summary - What to try
    1. Chapters
    • Only A to Z and 0 to 9 in chapter title
    • No Chapter mark at very beginning of movie
    • No Chapter mark in or within 2 seconds from any transition in movie
    2. TV-safe area for buttons (no one outside this)
    3. Safe re-boot
    4. No other external devices connected - that are not needed
    SDMacuser adds to this
    • On #4 ... No ext. devices. Some think this applies mainly to ext. FW. Not the case. Also applies to ext. USB2 as well (not to mention flash drives too).
    Do not leave 3rd party devices / camera / camcorder plugged in unless it is being used with iDvd's One Step process. Certain web cams can trigger this also (especially ones with added features like LED light/s that draw additional power from the FW or USB bus).
    5. Minimum of 25Gb free space on Start-up hard disk
    6. Make a DiskImage first - reduces where problem originates
    7. Trash iDVD pref. file
    8. Make a new iDVD project
    9. Movies in project with same aspect ratio e.g. 4x3 or 16x9
    10. No other programs/applications running during iDVD process. e.g. Internet, screen & energy savers

  • Problem selecting and dragging or moving an object with hyperlink activated

    Hei!
    It is impossible to select or move normally an object, for instance a photo, which contains an activated link, and that's very annoying.
    First: Let's say I have that object on the top of the page and I want to put it lower, or maybe cut it and paste it somewhere else. First I need to select it, but as soon as the mouse is on top of it, the mouse over activates and opens a webpage to the designated link.
    Second: before I do anything with it, I need to select the object and the only way to do it is by drawing a selection rectangle, which gives me the problem of needing to avoid surrounding objects which I don't want to select. If I don't have space enough, I have to let them get selected together with the desired object, and then unselect using the command key + mouse click.
    Third: if I want to move it, i can only do it with the arrow keys, because if I use the mouse, I get back to first problem. So it's that, or disabling the hyperlink, move the object normally, and putting the hyperlink on again. None of it very practical.
    If I actually want to cut the object and paste it in another page of the site, after I went through first and second problem, I can cut normally the object, got to the desired page and paste it there. If once there I still need to move the object to place it where I want, I end up in third problem anyways.
    Is there any way to avoid this trouble?
    Thanks

    Thanks Mark, but you answered what I already included within my question. I wrote "So it's that, or disabling the hyperlink, move the object normally, and putting the hyperlink on again"
    With that, to "Uncheck the "Make hyperlinks active" you need to first select the object, and you end up back to the first and second problem I wrote.
