Title: menu Heading in IE9 64 bit
Post by: terryd on July 02, 2013, 01:43:25 AM

Nettalk7.10
The attached image has the same menu displayed using 3 browsers from the top Chrome, Firefox and IE9.
The IE9 cuts off the last character in some headings. It doesn't seem to be related to heading size since the Application Maintenance heading is longer than the Claim Maintenance heading yet both are cut.
This also doesn't seem to have anything to do with browser zoom as I have tried both CTL+ and CTL- with no change to the look.
Any quick fixes.
Unfortunately I can't wean all users off IE.

Sure you can - something like;

if p_web.agent = 'msie'
  return ''
end

works wonders. Then 100% of your users will not be using IE.

ahh - but I think I see what you meant - you want to actually _keep_ the users.
if so, just increasing the min-width for the menu is likely a good approach;
In your custom.css file put;

.nt-menu > li > a{
min-width:1000px;
}

Obviously 1000px is too much, so you'll work it down to something reasonable, but I always start with something outrageous, then it's obvious the setting is at least being applied. (If you do the above, and nothing changes, then clearly you've missed a step - maybe need to run gzipall.bat etc.)

Cheers
