Category View breaks template in IE

Using Category View as a main menu option breaks the template in IE (not in Firefox). Specifically it appears to decrease the width of the content area, thus forcing the menu navigation bar itself to overflow to a 2nd line.

Alternatively, Categories View does not exhibit the same display problem.

I cannot locate what CSS style tag seems to be causing this problem. Please view this page in Firefox and then compare in IE where the problem breaks the template and ruins the menu navigation bar layout.

I appreciate any tips on CSS customization(s) that will resolve this issue.

Thanks.

Jan, your screen shot does not show the menu navigation bar at top --that's where the problem is with phoca layout. Here is a graphic showing the problem. Notice that the FORMS tab on the menu creates a second level on the menu bar. This is an error -- all menu options must fit in the bar horizontally in only one level. NO OTHER menu option causes this problem; only Phoca changes the page width and causes this problem with the menu/navigation bar. And only with the Phoca Download Category View. If you click on any other menu option (HOME, OUR STAFF, etc.) you will see the menu bar correctly displayed, with only one level. itproworx.com/thorell - Please advise what changes to the CSS tags will fix this problem.

Hi, I still don't see any problem in IE and have no idea, how the component can influence the menu, which is created by module :idea:

Jan, thanks for taking the time to look at this. What version of IE are you using, and do you use Compatibility View? I'm using IE9 without compatibility view and --as you can see-- the screen shot from my laptop does not look like yours. Not only is the menu bar different but I also don't see the sidebar module (Office Information) which is visible in my screenshot. Do you have any ideas why this page looks different on your screen? I appreciate any recommendations you might have. My customer is seeing the same problem as I have described -- we are not seeing the same thing that you are seeing. Thank you, again, for your time and comments.

Hi, I think, I am using IE9 (standard installation with default features - I don't use IE normally so I didn't made any settings there), unfortunatelly I don't have any idea why the IE behaves like it behaves :-(
