I'm using a modified version of the 'Eye' theme as a development site for a new client, and the client has requested a drop-down menu for navigation, so I purchased the Superfish menu. The edit features seem to work fine, but when I mouse over a menu item with 'child' links, the menu pushes the entire page down. The result is disconcerting, to say the least - everything below the nav header moves.
I've tested the menu in Firefox and Chrome and get the same result in both browsers. I'm afraid to see what it does in MSIE.
I installed Superfish in the Nav header, replacing the default navigation of the theme. I need to solve this issue, as I know that my client will not accept the pages of the site jerking around.
Any suggestions on how to beat this? Thanks in advance.
It sounds like your theme is conflicting with superfish-- off the top of my head it seems like it might be related to z-index or overflow, possibly on the container div that your menu is sitting in. The best way to diagnose stuff like this is to inspect it with a tool like Firebug.
If you can send a link to your development site, I may be able to help track down what element is causing the problem. Feel free to send it to me in a Private Message if you prefer.
Looks like the div below, #pageHeader, has settings for overflow-x and overflow-y hidden.
When I disabled both of those styles using Firebug, the picture stopped jumping around. Try commenting out those styles in your theme's general_styles.css file.
