    Hi all,

    I have an issue with my website, in that it does not matter what links I click on the whole website seems to ever so slightly jump to the right then back again. It is like the site blinks when clicking on links try for yourself to see what I mean.

    Any idea what could be causing this issue, it's driving me mad :mad:
    Cheers

    I am also not seeing this "jumping" using either Safari or FireFox and a Mac.

    Cheers for the input guys.

    I don't know why, but when I view my site in Chrome it seems to jump around like a bunny rabbit. Now I have install FireFox and it seems ok. Mmm strange.

    Ah yes...I see the jumping in Chrome...try adding the following to your css:

    Code:
    html {
    overflow-y: scroll;
}
    That should force the scroll bar to display and hopefully eliminate the jumping :)

    Hi Jason...unfortunately I was unable to see the jumping using Chrome this time around.

    I did notice a couple of things to fix/check.

    In your <head> you are linking to the following:

    Code:
    <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.8.2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.5.2.min.js" ></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="javascript/jquery/jquery.min.js"></script>
    The first one should be left in place (note: change http to https), the second one should be removed as it is linking to a dead file. The third one should be removed as it could conflict with the first one.

    Sometimes javascript can cause these browser quirks...try the above and see if it helps.

    Thanks Freeze.

    I have made the amendments as you said. I guess if you don't see it - it must be something my end.

    Cheers Jason
