menu problem

Hello all,

I have been wracking my brain over this issue for hours and think I have
determined that it isn't a java issue with the menu, but rather an issue
with the CSS of the element that contains it. Has anyone ever seen a
menu split like this before when you run the cursor over the menu items,
the submenu is all the way across the screen! And even better yet...if
you have, do you remember what you did to fix it??

My brain and my exhausted eyes will be ever so grateful. Thank you for
taking the time to look.

I assume you mean JavaScript, which is not the same thing as Java.

but rather an issue

Maybe...

I don't see any menu at all. That's the problem of relying on JS for
navigation.

BTAIM, I didn't look at your code but after loading the page in the DOM
Inspector I see your positioning is whacked. It looks like you have no
containing block for your absolutely positioned submenus so it's
defaulting to body as the container. Have a read about positioning:

don't mind scrollable boxes.

Please remember that it's not about you, but your client's visitors.
Will they not mind, either? And how do you know?

Just a single data point, but they drive me mad. I'd much rather have
a long page.

Me too, but for different reasons than you.

I scroll by moving my finger up and down the edge of my
touch pad, but if a scrollable box comes along and happens to be under
my cursor, then *that* scrolls, rather than the page.

I scroll completely by keyboard - page up/down keys, arrow keys, and the
spacebar. Scrolling divs are pretty inaccessible.
