[Plugin: Ninja Announcements Lite] Positioning problem

I discovered a nightmare when testing my site in all major browsers (IE7, -8 and -9, Chrome, Firefox 12, Opera 11.62, and Safari 5.1.5).

I placed my announcement just above the footer. It consists of an image to the left, with a public service blurb to the right at a width of 960 and height of about 300. It displayed correctly in Chrome, after some CSS adjustments. However, it was at the top of the screen, to the right, outside of the template in FF, and IE. (At that time, I hadn’t tested Opera and Safari.) It widened my screen approximately 50%, giving me a scrollbar at the bottom where there hadn’t been one before.

I was scratching my head, wondering how I would adjust CSS for FF. I thought about adding ‘-moz’ on that element, but didn’t know what to do for IE9 at that point. I’m used to doing extra work for IE, but for Firefox?? So, I went to the plugin again, to Plugin Settings and turned off ‘Use Ninja Announcements default stylesheet’. It brought my announcement back to the proper place! Luckily, it didn’t affect Chrome and it displays properly in all of the other browsers listed here.

If you’re having placement issues, I would suggest trying this. Awesome plugin guys (and gals, if there are any)! The other ones I tried simply didn’t work. Looking forward to the next update. ??

EDIT: As I was writing this, James got back with me and suggested doing what I had already discovered. I only sent my support question 15 minutes before receiving his response. Now that’s support! What a great bunch of developers! Thanks, James.
