Why is my navigation jumping left - Genesis?

Hi.

Hoping someone can help, this is driving my nuts. :)

I'm using the Genesis Framework and Parallax pro.

In Chrome, when switching between pages in the top nav bar, it jumps left and then back to original position.

Happens sometimes in IE, but is fine in FF. At times it's not too bad, but others it's worse. Just can't figure out what's happening.

Thanks. Kerry

p.s. I eat my words. it's jumping in all 3 browsers now. :(

Without seeing any code do you have any special padding or floats on your nav css?

My nav is in a custom header widget floated right. Think I applied 10px to top margin.

I'm not seeing the problem you outlined or else it's subtle and I blinked.

  1. Using Chrome, I started at http://theblogmechanic.com/
  2. I clicked the Praise link in the top nav

Can you give a specific scenario?

On a different issue, I'm not seeing your images in the services div.

Hi Anne.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my site. Much appreciated.

To see the problem with the nav you'll need to switch between several pages, in different browsers.

When going from one page to the next, if you look at the logo you'll see the image jump quickly to the left, and then back. Some times the whole header flashes.

And sometimes it's worse than others.

Thanks for the heads up about the images in the service section, I've switched them out now, so you should be able to see them.

Have an awesome day. Kerry
