In Safari at least I don't see any issues that you describe.

I don't get the jumping either but I see the text thing. I think this may be the problem - or part of the problem. You are using the font - Economica. On the "good" pages the link to the Google hosted font is this... <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans|Open+Sans+Condensed|Economica">On the "not-so-good" pages... <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans|Economica">I case you really can't see the difference, the "not-so-good" one is missing "+Condensed". Notice that I used the term "not-so-good" rather than "bad" so that I wouldn't upset you too much! ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Thank you for respecting my feelings. Now how do I resolve this? Because in this case, I created my Nav bar on my Introduction page and copy n pasted it everywhere else. I didn't change the font. However, I used to be using Open Sans Condensed for the nav bar. I am now using Economica regular. You'll notice that even in EW, it looks like the dropdown is the bold version. In Safari, both the bar and the dropdown take on this appearance. On the faulty pages, it's reversed. To illustrate better, here's some screenshots: As for the jumpiness, I'm going to record a video. Doesn't happen on your end? ------------------------------- rMBP 15", 2.6 Ghz, 16 GB RAM, OS X 10.11.6, with 27" Thunderbolt Cinema Display www.cleetche.com |

I've done a video recording of the jumpiness. I don't understand why you can't reproduce this on your own screen, using Safari. But again, it's happening on my movie pages where I've inserted html snippets (if that offers any clue at all): https://www.dropbox.com/s/e2dbvg14l35mi ... 0pages.mov Sorry it's so compressed! Maybe I should have saved it as 720p. Anyway, you get the picture ;) ------------------------------- rMBP 15", 2.6 Ghz, 16 GB RAM, OS X 10.11.6, with 27" Thunderbolt Cinema Display www.cleetche.com |

You could try pasting the correct link into the page Head Codebox on those pages with the "not-so-good" navigation. It's not a complete solution since you should really remove the other one. Perhaps Paul can suggest how? The page jumping issue is what you get when a page doesn't have enough content to fill the full height of the browser and you switch to it from one that is. It's not peculiar to EasyWeb. I'm still not seeing it happen but you could try dropping a text box onto these almost blank pages and dragging it down to temporarily increase the page length until you get around to adding more content. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Hmm, as to your second point, the pages with less content (at least most of them) will be remaining that way. They're kind of the fallback in case someone clicks on the Directory title in the Nav Bar (something we talked about disabling earlier). These pages are set to 1000 px height. The pages that are jumping (or not) are longer and fall below the browser requiring scrolling. So this is the issue? I'm not sure filling the 1000 px pages with more content (like a blank text box) will make any difference as my Intro page (at 1000 px) is already pretty full and behaves just like those with less content. So is this just a little quirk I have to live with? I'll see what Paul has to say. Re: the text issue, it's not even open sans condensed that I'm using anymore up there! So why would that make a difference? But I can try inserting that code on the page and see what happens. Think I'll wait to hear from Paul on that too so I don't add too much code clutter before it's necessary. ------------------------------- rMBP 15", 2.6 Ghz, 16 GB RAM, OS X 10.11.6, with 27" Thunderbolt Cinema Display www.cleetche.com |

Hmmm, well the directory problem really does need fixed. Do you get the jumping in all browsers? Safari really sucks and I get weird things happening in it that most others don't. And don't get me started on about Lion/Mountain Lion - not Apple's finest hour. The link is for Economica. I looked at the source code of both types of page and that's the only difference I can see. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

It jumps in every browser (at least Safari, Chrome and FF). But I only have the text problem in Safari. Maybe Mavericks will solve this!

No jumping for me in any browser on my laptop either. It must be your brain leaping about! ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Copying this into one of the page head code sections didn't make a difference: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans|Open+Sans+Condensed|Economica"> I don't know how it would. I'm not even using Open Sans Condensed anymore. Paul, do you know why my dropdown text looks anorexic on my movie pages, compared to the rest of my site? It's Economica that I'm using. www.cleetche.com ------------------------------- rMBP 15", 2.6 Ghz, 16 GB RAM, OS X 10.11.6, with 27" Thunderbolt Cinema Display www.cleetche.com |

Okay I'm almost ready to launch my website but one thing is still bugging me. I still can't figure out how to fix the Navigation bar text on my movie pages. It's driving me crazy! It's fine in every browser but Safari... but Safari is my browser of choice. You can see it change right before your eyes. If you click on Documentaries for instance, and look at the dropdown, the text is consistent throughout. It's Economica regular, but like all text once published, it looks a little thicker so is maybe actually Economica 'bold'. But then if you click on Beach Hawkers under Documentaries and go back up quickly as it loads, you'll see the font change, with Beach Hawkers suddenly becoming thinner than it was. And thinner than the rest of the Nav bar text. Like I said, it's only happening on my movie pages and I've looked at the CSS injected there, and I don't see any conflicts... but what do I know. I'd love to be able to fix this once and for all! http://cleetche.com/introduction/index.html ------------------------------- rMBP 15", 2.6 Ghz, 16 GB RAM, OS X 10.11.6, with 27" Thunderbolt Cinema Display www.cleetche.com |

I don't know how the link to the font got scrambled on some pages but the actual font family should come first like this...<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Economica|Open+Sans|Open+Sans+Condensed">
