dropdown menu width adjustment

[dainiswmichel 0]

hi, if you go here http://www.archiversum.com/ and hover over "digitales archiv," you will see a menu item "archivinformationssystem" and it does not fit in the drop-down menu. funny how this was an issue when the site was in genesis too :-) anyway, i don't immediately see the appropriate style in firebug, so can you share the style modification that would fix the issue? i gather i would just add it to custom code? best, dainis w michel

[code]ul.sub-menu {width: #px;}[/code]

had to add important for it to "take." ul.sub-menu { width: 234px !important; } is our current solution a "foolproof" way to set this style? how reliable will this fixed width be? is there a "more foolproof" way, for example, using text padding or a dynamic method? this client goes to places that are often pretty low-tech (libraries, museums, government offices, archival institutions). best, dainis

It's the most foolproof way I know of. I can't control whether or not a person is still using the first version of Internet Explorer on a Windows '98, unfortunately. :(

I could only hope no one is still doing that but I wouldn't be surprised if they are.
