Finding particular Menus - Blending Menus Characteristics

Hi !
Initially I would like to thank the administrator for his/her time in helping us with this wonderful feature. And to you who eventually will help me in finding my way thru these fantastic products Milonic have been creating.

I am presently helping my girlfriend to create a site to help pass nutrition information and facts to her patients. Sometimes I have seen some menus which "float" over the pages, and tried to find one of these. Typing "floating menus" on Google I arrived to Milonic.

Now, my difficulty was finding a Floating Vertical Colored 3d Menu...

First, I could not find a search box in the site ( 1st suggestion... )
Second, I could not find a section with VERTICAL menus... ( 2nd suggestion, to separate menus by characteristics )
and Third, having found some menus that have only one or two of the characteristics I desire ( floating, vertical, colored, 3d ) a question arises:

Could I "blend" these characteristics, by "joining" parts of the codes of 2 or 3 different menus ?

Thanks for your assistance !

You can combine the samples listed at http://www.milonic.com/ in almost any way you like/need. Also, we have a draggable menu, shown at http://www.milonic.com/menusample22.php. Perhaps that is what you're after? The vertical menu is our tree menu, listed at http://www.milonic.com/menumodules.php.

Search boxes (forms) have been discussed numerous times, and topics can be found by using the Search function in the Forum.

Hi,

To add to what John said, any menu can be made vertical by removing the coding that says orientation="horizontal"; The default for the menu is vertical, also any menu can be made to 'float' if you mean follow the person as they move down the page, you do that by putting in the code followscroll=1 in the menu. I believe even the draggable menu, which allows the user to move it where they want it can be set to followscroll from whichever position at which it has been set.

When you download the test menu, open the menu_data.js file and put // in front of the orientation="horizontal"; save it and then look at the page, you'll see it is now vertical. Then go in and add followscroll=1; in that same area where the orientation is, save it and check the page again. Scroll down and the menu will follow.

As to the suggestions on the site, there is a search, on the main site look at the menu and you'll see the last item is search, mouseover it and you get the search box.

If you need any help on setting up the menu as you want, just post back, I'll be glad to help.
