Specific problem developing my jquery menu

I am developing a menu using jquery.

The menu grows dynamically, and i need to keep the appearance for each level. And i do, but the problem is now the browsers. IE and Mozilla.

I am using jquery to get the width of unordered lists for when i pass with the mouse over the next level opens, in that width shifter to the right

In firefox works ok because the width is not set to "none" but a integer value, but in IE is setted to "auto" and i need a integer value to shift to the right.

Suggestions?

thanks :)

jQuery UI has a Position method which is perfect for these things.

$("#position3").position({
  my: "right center",
  at: "right bottom",
  of: "#targetElement"
});

I'm not entirely sure, but I think the jQuery method width() should be able to compute the correct width of an element. Could you give us a code snippet describing how you get the element width?

Not sure if this is available in IE or not but you could try getting the offset width or the scroll width.

$(this).[0].offsetWidth/scrollWidth
