hi all

how can i make sub-menu have a fixed width in DNN 5.1

i use the defualt horizontal menu

As a start, add the following to portal.css (via Site Settings / Stylesheet editor).  This is based on the version of Extropy being pumped out on dotnetnuke.com.  It will restrict the submenu width to 1 inch and adjusts the visual so that the menu items that wrap make sense.  Words that render wider that 1 inch will stretch, but they still look nice.

/* SUB Menu Normal */
.main_dnnmenu_submenu  { width: 72px;    /* 1 inch */ }
.main_dnnmenu_submenu td span { line-height: 1.4em; }
.main_dnnmenu_submenu td { height: 36px; }

This is a known feature / problem with DNN Nav Menu.

You could use min-width, like so:

.yoursubmenuclass {
min-width: 180px;
}

Where .yoursubmenuclass was the class for your submenu (csscontainersub="yoursubmenuclass").

BUT, IE does not render min-width.

We need to know what browser you're viewing the site in, what version of DNN, and a working version link would help.
