[COLOR=Black][FONT=&quot] [FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]I was wondering if anyone would help me with a tiny problem I’m having. If you look at the test site at [/SIZE][/FONT][/FONT][http://www.designsuccess.com/proof[/COLOR][COLOR=Black][FONT=&quot][FONT=Arial][SIZE=3]](http://www.designsuccess.com/proof%5B/COLOR%5D%5BCOLOR=Black%5D%5BFONT=&quot%5D%5BFONT=Arial%5D%5BSIZE=3%5D) using Mac OS X, you’ll notice that when you change focus from Safari or Firefox to another application, the main rotating menu goes berserk. Since I develop and design on Windows, I had not noticed the problem, but one of my partners uses a Mac and he pointed it out to me.
