Images disappearing?

I'm wondering what the problem is here.  This works just fine in IE, but does not work in FireFox, Safari, etc.

Still can't seem to figure this out...don't viewcategories and viewcart use the same header and footer???

Yes, unless you've created different ones.

I've had a look at your site a couple of times, and I didn't see a navigation bar on any page, but now I see what you mean -- the top navigation.

Looks like it's a DHTML menu written out by a JavaScript file.

Likely the problem here is a conflict between that JS and something in all of the JS/AJAX/JQuery used on the product and category pages.

However, that DHTML menu you are using spits out a TREMENDOUS amount of nested table layout, IMHO. You should just do away with that and use CSS. There's just no reason whatsoever for all of that useless markup, and it will slow down your page loads and inhibit optimization of your site for search engines. The CSS you'd need to accomplish the exact same look and behavior would be just a few lines of markup and styling.

PS: If you really want to see what it is spitting out at a glance, use Google's Chrome browser's "inspect element" option, and you'll see what I'm talking about if you can find it within all of your other nested tables.

I see. That is indeed unfortunate.

It's almost certainly a conflict between the JS for the DHTML menu and the boat load of other JS in PC on these category and product pages. I'm looking at it in FireFox with FireBug, but I'm not seeing anything there to give a clue. Seems you've got a real needle in a hay stack to find here.

Swapping out the DHTML menu with simple CSS hover effects would be a whole lot easier, and frankly better. That's what I would do -- and I'm a developer too, not a designer.

I've been in contact with the designer...and he's exploring some other options - a Flash menu (oh, boy!!!).  So, we'll see what comes of it.  WE are just going to have to tell people at the moment that if they want the images at the top, they will have to use IE.
