I think I may have found a bug, but I wanted to make sure that I'm not
missing something obvious before submitting a bug report. I've created
a simple test page to demonstrate the problem.
http://beatenbyrobots.com/demo/growing-menu-demo.html
I have a menubar with a single item. This item has a menu with ten
items. I've tested this with Firefox 2.0.0.1 (Mac & PC), Safari 3.1
(Mac & PC) and IE6. Everything works fine with the exception of IE6.
In IE6 the scrollbar shows up when the subnav appears even though
there really shouldn't be anything beyond what is visible in the
viewport. But most interestingly, each time the subnav appears, its
width increases. It just keeps growing and growing. However, if I
remove the following style, the problem goes away:
.yuimenuitemlabel {
display: block;
}
I've learned that in order for the problem to occur, the subnav has to
be long enough to force the seemingly unnecessary scrollbar to appear.
How long that is will, of course, vary depending on your local settings.
Any thoughts?
