Coda Slider help

[virtual]

Hi Guys,

I have been tearing my hair out over this one. I cannot figure out how to get the navigation not to drop down a line on the slider2 panel.

 

I can only have 3 panels, anything above that stretches out across the page, but the last nav tab drops down to the next line. There is enough width, and the only thing I can think of is that is being generated by the js.

Lynne, I don't see the nav drop. All 5 nav items are on the same line for me on the slider2.

Oh my, they only do it in Firefox 3.5.6 on the Mac. Shoot, I just tested on the virtual PC and even IE6 works!!!

 

Any ideas anyone?

OK I found it,

.stripNav ul li needed to have the margin-right changed from 2px to 1px and then it worked in Firefox.

I must say I have no idea why?

Another helpful little tip fir times when some browser needs to think it's wider to avoid drop is to float the ul left and then give it a large negative right margin. Some times that works some times not.
