Ok. This has been driving me crazy for some time and I am finally gonna start asking on ways to fix it.

I use firefox as my primary browser and the first time I go to my site the horizontal solpartmenu is spread out to a point where it is extending past my skin. Once the page is loaded if I refresh the page (or go to a page other than the home page) everything tightens back up. It continues to work for that browser session, but stretches out again if i relaunch the browser.

I have captured some screen caps of the problem. You can see them here: http://www.randomdefinition.com/Home/menuproblem/tabid/89/Default.aspx

Anyone else seeing this or know how to fix it?

To be honest - I have seen this too. Only solpart seems to do this. I have not got to the bottom of this. But more complex the menu the more chances to get this behaviour.

I like to see if any one has an explanation to this too,

Have a look at tthis thread.

I ended up "solving" the problem by replacing spacer.gif with another image. Have a look at your site with the FF web developer add-on to see if spacer.gif is what is messing up your layout.

Thanks for the insight. It finally resolved my problem. I have been digging into this the last two days. In my skin, I specify the separator (spacer.gif) in the xml file as

<![CDATA[<img src="images/seperator.jpg">]]>

by adding the info as you stated in the "previous thread" so my seperator reads <![CDATA[<img src="images/seperator.jpg"border="0"width="4">]]> it solved the problem completely. Not sure where everyone else so called "spacer.gif" is but by adding this info to where ever you specify your seperator it should resolve the problem in firefox.

You can view my skin that it fixed on this page http://skins.10poundgorilla.com/Skin2Options/ColorOptions/Greenskin/tabid/183/Default.aspx

I am using the following XML and it is still not working. Originally the separator option was not even included, so I added it just to make sure that leaving it out wasn't causing a problem. Also it is picking up the spacer.gif from the root images folder in the DNN install I think. I have a spacer.gif in my skins images folder.

You can see it on www.johnhelfenphotography.com (it is my catch all site that I use for testing)

Hope we can figure out exactly what is causing this.
