Pages jump left and right

**fuzzyphil** · 11-23-2006, 01:24 AM

Why do certain pages jump slightly left or right when selected?

My web site http://max23.sensorytoys.co.uk/ has a very irritating glitch that I cant seem to pin down.
Shipping, Privacy, conditions and printable catalog all line up when switched from one to the other but the Contact Us, Gift Voucher and Site Map and categories all jump to the right when selected. I have tried modifying my template but just cant seem to crack it.

Any ideas / suggestions anybody please.

I do not see any jumping left or right on your store. I checked every page I could. It all formats well using both IE7 and Mozilla

It does appear to be ok with IE7 but not with Firefox.
Thanks for taking a look - anybody else notice the jumps?

It is because a scroll bar appears/disappears if the page requires scrolling to see the bottom... This is not a glitch. It is how browsers work...

Try it:

Go to your home page. Then drag the bottom of your browser up until a scrollbar appears on the right of your browser window... site shifts left... then drag the bottom down so the scrollbar on the right disappears... shifts right.

You need to get some sleep. This is how browsers have worked since 1995... Oh, nice site design too! Very good.
