PHP moving side menu

[csa]

Everything was looking great until I added some php code into my html page (all I've done so far is add <?PHP ?>) and this has caused my side menu to retract. If I extend navcontainer a width: 149px; this sorts the menu out, however it knocks everything else out. How can I get around this?

Code: Select all

#navcontainer ul 
{ 
margin: 0; 
padding: 0; 
list-style-type: none; 
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; 
font-size: 13px; 
font-weight: bold; 
text-indent: 8px; 
margin-top: 180px; 
} 

#navcontainer li { margin: 0 0 1px 0; } 

#navcontainer a 
{ 
display: block; 
padding: 2px 2px 2px 24px; 
border: 1px solid #fff; 
width: 149px; 
background-color: #999; 
background-image: url(images/buttonback.jpg); 
} 

#navcontainer a:link, #navlist a:visited 
{ 
color: #EEE; 
text-decoration: none; 
} 

#navcontainer a:hover 
{ 
border: 1px solid #fff; 
background-color: #F60; 
background-image: url(images/buttonbackroll.jpg); 
color: #69C1B5; 
} 

#active a:link, #active a:visited, #active a:hover 
{ 
border: 1px solid #fff; 
background-color: #FF6600; 
background-image: url(images/buttonback.jpg); 
color: #fff; 
}

your php tag should not be responsible for breaking your layout...

are you using dreamweaver? as dreamweaver kindly adds a little [php] square thing where your script is. which would move your design in preview mode.

Test your site and youll find this problem *should'nt* exist

Ye that tag wont do anything to break the site.

let us now how u get on. if not, paste us the script from the page where the break is...

This is strange, When I view the site the menu moves, but when I asked someone else to look at the page it's fine on their machine. I guess from people's posts that PHP shouldn't have this effect on the page so it must be something I've done!!! I'll check on another machine. Ta

post some of the code you are using and a url to look at...

also what browser are you using...

It looks fine in FF but IE throws it out. However I have decided to just add a link to another PHP page instead, not because I'm experiencing problems, just because I think it will work better.

If I experience further problems, I'll be back! Thanks
