Problems with superfish javascript/css-dropdown menu

Hi!

 

First of all, I don't know if this topic belongs to the javascript section, but I'll start here. I have tried to post topics about this matter in the support page for superfish, but I didn't receive any answer, so I'll give it a try here.

 

I have successfully applied a horizontal Superfish drop down menu to my Joomla 1.5.10 website and I think it looks good.

Although, I have 3 problems:

 

1. I can't center the superfish dropdown menu so it looks good on my website, both in IE and FF. I mixed around a bit with relative and absolute positions, but with no good result. With relative postition, FF positions the menu after the company logo, which is in another "div" on top of the menu.

I thought that I had found a solution to this when I put a "Left: 25%" in the css code in superfish.css. But i realised that that actually caused a problem with the text positioning, the links in the drop down menu were also moved 25% to the right, which looked strange. And in FF the menu jumped outside the page with 25%, so it wasn't an alternative at all.

In Google Chrome it looks ok, but I still can't center the superfish menu.

 

2. The dropdown links disappears too fast in FF, so you don't have time to click on them. If you are really fast with the mouse, you might be able to "catch" one of the links in the dropdown, it is as if you don't have time to reach the dropdown area in time, and it hovers out. The dropdown shadow image isn't showing at all. But this problem only appears in some FF browsers, in some it look ok, very strange...

 

3. When I press on the menu link which has a sumbmenu (in IE) and it becomes active, suddently the links in the dropdown (submenu) jumps to the right x amount of pixles, for no obvious reason.

I am using the Joomla Vortex template, and this is what my template.css looks like:

This is how the menu looks in index.php if I open it with View Source:

I haven't entered any children menu in the setup for the superfish module (since I didn't know what to enter here). I have a top menu and a main menu att my website, nothing else.

 

This is what my superfish.css looks like:

 


/*** ESSENTIAL STYLES ***/

.sf-menu, .sf-menu * {

   margin:            0;

   padding:        0;

   list-style:        none;

}

.sf-menu {

   line-height:    1.0;

}

.sf-menu ul {

   position:        absolute;

   top:            -999em;

   width:            12em; /* left offset of submenus need to match (see below) */

}

.sf-menu ul li {

   width:            100%;

}

.sf-menu li:hover {

   visibility:        inherit; /* fixes IE7 'sticky bug' */

}

.sf-menu li {

   float:            left;

   position:        relative;

}

.sf-menu a {

   display:        block;

   position:        relative;

}

}

I would really appreciate if someone could give me a hint to where/how I could fix this, I'm a bit stuck so to speak...!

 

Thanks in advance,
