Popup Menus not displaying correctly - help?

[Cky47]

So on my forum http://boardinghq.com for some reason when I made my template, the pop up menus (aka the search button, quick links, etc) arent displaying right in any of the browsers. When I click on them they dont display under where I clicked they display off the side of the page.

Whats wrong, and how do I fix it. It cant be something bad, probably just something stupid I missed.

Thanks! :D

Compare the css class used for the default skin to the css for your skin. It's probably some sort of setting regarding the type of display (I forget what it's called right now - but compare them to see).

I didnt touch the stock vbulletin css minus a few colors and backgrounds. I just added my css needed for my design to it.

Well, I can't see them (unregistered users get no dropdowns in the navbar), but I'm tyinking you changed something in the way they are called. Either a class, the tag it's in, or one of the classes 'above' the navbar was changed. Use a web tool like firebug in firefox and you can view all the css that is affecting a particular tag and that should show you the problem.

Tried firebug, no luck. Its really bugging me, I cant figure out why it does it, and Im ready to just remove the feature.

[Lynne]

All the css affecting the navbar dropdown was exactly the same on a default skin and on your skin?

[Cky47]

Yeah I didnt change it... I think its something to do with the css classes I added though. Im not sure to be honest. The only thing I changed was the header and footer really.

If there is another css class affecting it, then it would show up when you Inspect Element using firebug.

I dunno if you want to check it out yourself, the forum doesn't require email verification to register.

[Lynne]

If you setup a test account, then I will check it out. I get too many emails from sites where I used to register myself just to help out.

Ok so I made you an account...

When I Inspect Element on the search dropdown on my site, I get this:
element.style {display:none;margin-top:3px;}

On your site, this is what I get:
element.style {clip:rect(auto, auto, auto, auto);display:none;left:647.767px;margin-top:3px;position:absolute;top:320px;z-index:50;}

You've added that positioning somewhere. You'll have to find where it is getting added.

Thats sooo odd... haha I never even use positioning. Maybe it was a mod or something I installed.

Thanks though.

Ahhh... for some odd reason the main div that everything was contained in was position: relative and it made everything go goofy and add the global positioning.

Thanks you very much.
