The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.The menu items in the list in my sidebar is not displaying properly. The bullet in the dhtml activated menu is not aligned with the text. My site is located at freshubuntu.org and I have attached a jpg. I had been using the 1.8 version because this was the last known good version that did not break the list display. I tried to upgrade to 2.0 but I saw that it was still broken and also noticed that there was an issue open for it. I thought maybe it would get fixed in the next upgrade, so I installed the new version 2.2 but still the same issues are showing up. I opened up the css but couldn't find anything wrong although admittedly I am new at this:( any help is appreciated, thx

Comment #1
Anonymous (not verified) commentedA couple of quick questions:
1. Which module are you using to generate the dynamic menu?
2. I am able to reproduce the problem in Firefox, but not Safari. Are you also seeing the issue in Internet Explorer?
Comment #2
freshubuntu commentedI am using dhtml_menu for d6. In internet explorer the bullets are still not aligned well but is much less pronounced than in ff3.
Thanks for the quick response:) - BTW Love the theme great work!

Anonymous (not verified) commentedI think I've found the source of the problem. The CSS reset is a bit too aggressive and it seems to conflict with some of the styles that Drupal sets. I'm attaching a zip file that contains modified reset.css and style.css. These changes appear to eliminate the problem in Firefox. I haven't tried it in Internet Explorer yet.
If these changes work across a range of browsers, I expect I'll make them permanent.

freshubuntu commentedI uploaded the stylesheets to my server (1and1 shared) and did not get the anticipated results. In other words, no changes were seen even after emptying the cache and several reloads. Also, no changes were noticed in IE. Interestingly enough, when I do a page refresh (with the new stylsheets) the error disappears but once the page is done loading it reverts back to the same misalignment.

Anonymous (not verified) commentedI did some digging in your site's headers and noticed that your version of dhtml_menu is very old and no longer supported.
The version information in the dhtml_menu.js file on your site is:
$Id: dhtml_menu.js,v 1.15 2008/06/23 12:15:07 arancaytar Exp $The latest version for Drupal 6 (and the version I'm testing with) is:
$Id: dhtml_menu.js,v 1.18.2.8 2008/11/09 23:03:35 arancaytar Exp $I tried the older release of dhtml_menu that you are using and was able to reproduce the problem. Please upgrade to the most current supported release of dhtml_menu for Drupal 6 and see if the problem goes away.

freshubuntu commentedThat did the trick, thanks you very much:) Though I am concerned that the update module didn't pick up on it. Oh well, it is fixed now and I appreciate your diligence. Thanks again

Anonymous (not verified) commentedNo worries. Glad I could help!
I will probably still commit the CSS changes I posted in #3 above. The things I commented out in style.css were put there to fix things that the reset.css broke.
