FF 3 broke my Suckerfish :(

Roger_Ramjet

I dunno, I expected better from Mozilla. I know it's only a small thing, but everyone uses Suckerfish dropdowns. Now I've got a few pixel gap between the main menu and it's dropdown. Still works if you move the mouse quickly - otherwise the dropdown is gone by the time you get there.

Does anyone know how to fix it??

No actual solution posted there, but it suggests a possible reason to look at.

I cannot offer any solutions.. I assume that suckerfish works on all other major browsers (Opera 9.51, IE7 and Safari 3.1.2)?

Isn't suckerfish dropdowns CSS driven? I don't think suckerfish utilises any PHP (at least, not that I am aware of).. Have you checked over at alistapart to see of any news on this?

If this absolutely a pure Firefox bug, then something like that ought to be reported to Bugzilla for sure.

Yes Suckerfish is pure CSS - except in IE where some js is required in order for it to implement :hover.

My particular menu was kindly tested for me by users at another forum and worked on every platform-browser combination imaginable. This is not a bug as such, just a difference in the way FF3 renders the CSS.

Thanks NoDog, that is exactly what is happening.

I guess this will be the impetus for me to move over to Son of Suckerfish and iron out some of the IE hacks as well.
