ie07

1. when arrows point down, nav doesn't move so text and artwork are overlapping
2. 'health conditions a-z'-- columns don't line up...column starting w ADHD is above the columns starting w 'fertility and conception' & 'prescription drugs'

[maryann]

QA from Chris:
*** In the nav bar when you open up a category, the subcategories have one less bullet then the number of actual sub-cateogries and the top one is indented improperly (only happens in some browsers on some computers...)

1. when arrows point down, nav doesn't move so text and artwork are overlapping--works fine in IE
2. 'health conditions a-z'-- columns don't line up...column starting w ADHD is above the columns starting w 'fertility and conception' & 'prescription drugs'--are properly aligned in normal IE

1. The problem actually is that the bullets are misaligned in certain OS deployments (Confirmed: Windows Vista and XP, likely others). All bullets are present, but the last one causes the label for the category below it to shift to the right away from it's arrow creating the impression that a bullet it missing.

1. We currently have the top title of the nav bar text: "Baby Health Videos." We are changing this to "Baby Health Topics" because we currently feature links to both vids and articles

2. When the links appear in the talk boxes of the Baby Health Topics, the user doesn't know whether the links are vids or arts--please add '| video' or '| article' text in on pxl smaller than the current text and hex#828282 after the title link. (mock up attached if need be)

[lila]

this mock up has an example of ' | article' or ' | video' link after the title in the roll over

[maryann]

We added the content type at the end of the title in the talkboxes.
Also I made some adjustments to the leftnav that should fix the bullet problem.

Ubuntu - Firefox 3.1

left nav:

- in the Health Guru Channels box we should change the names to appear as the following:
Pregnancy Health
Baby Health
Sex Health
College Health
Health News
Health Guru

- the color of the BHG rollovers is off... they are the right color on the live site.

- When you rollover 'Newborn Development' the title 'Newborn Development - Month 3 (Weeks 9-12) | video' wraps onto a sectond line with just the word 'video' appearing on the next line. This looks strange... perhaps we can simple truncate the video heading or force it to wrap in such a way the the '| video' suffix does not wrap onto a line by itself. also the wrapped line should be indented a bit from the line above.

-in the 'Now Viewing In: standard' section the link of the opposite mode should be underlined so the user knows they cn click it as a link. the underline dissapears with rollover. Twitter, YouTube?, MySpace?, and Facebook should all be underlined as well.

This looks strange... perhaps we can simple truncate the video heading or force it to wrap in such a way the the '| video' suffix does not wrap onto a line by itself. also the wrapped line should be indented a bit from the line above.<---added a character limit

-in the 'Now Viewing In: standard' section the link of the opposite mode should be underlined so the user knows they cn click it as a link. the underline dissapears with rollover. Twitter, YouTube??, MySpace??, and Facebook should all be underlined as well. <---done, did it in leftcoltool and also in layout

[Brent] Almost perfect.... can we just reduce by a few characters the articles in the 'newborn care' rollover still spill to a 2nd line.

10. can we move the Follow us on: Twitter , YouTube?, etc links down a bit from the site mode so they dont look like they are all related

[brent]

11. (from josh) We should not have the NIH and the CDC showing up as experts on the nav bar. [is this a container where we can adjust this in the back office?]

--Removed NIH and CDC from experts nav bar. The amount of experts showing up on the nav bar is limited to 3. Right now we only have 4 records in the database including NIH and CDC, so there are only 2 experts showing up. Once we have more records, the 3 expert slots will be filled up.

[Brent] Almost perfect.... can we just reduce by a few characters the articles in the 'newborn care' rollover still spill to a 2nd line.<---truncated it from 35 to 30
