Accurate Menu Positioning in Browsers

Whatever positioning method you use for MenuMachine menus, you should set your page margins to 0px for best results.

Page Margins

Some browsers need page margins specified so they can display the position of elements accurately. Set your page margins to 0px (zero) pixel values for best results. Some browsers (Internet Explorer for example) will not handle anything BUT 0px margins correctly. Also, the page margins must be set in the page, not just in a CSS.

There are a couple of ways to do set the margins to zero:

1. Choose Special > Page Properties or click on the Page Properties icon (looks like a page with text on it) at the top of the page's window (Left side GL6, Right side GLCS) to open the Page Inspector.

2. In the Page Inspector, click the Page tab and enter values in pixels in the Margin Width and Margin Height text boxes.

OR

To set the page margin offset to zero:

Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) in the page and choose Document > Set Page Margins To Zero from the context menu.
