Vertical menu opening to the left?

I can't seem to find the specifics for how to position a menu on the right edge of the screen and have it open to the left. More specifically, I want to have the menu positioned near the bottom right of the screen and have sub-menues open to the left and up. Is this doable with Milonic?

Thanks.

Hi,

Yes, you can do that. Depending on your layout or setup the way to do it will be different. For example, you can use the screenposition property in your main menu and set it at screenposition="bottom,right"; Since the menu is now at the bottom and right side of the page, the submenus should open to the left side of the menu and up.

However, if you are not putting it exactly at the bottom right, if you are putting it in a table for instance, you can set an offset to move the submenus, or you might be able to use the openstyle='rtl';

This is the sample using offsets. Though they apply to the main menu, you can do the same thing for a submenu, if you need to offset the sub. You could then use openstyle="up"; for the direction the subs go.

Also see the link for the menu properties below my name which should have explanations for openstyle, and offsets

Well, I can get it positioned where I want it, and I can get the menues to open to the left, but what do you have to do to get the arrow image to appear on the left of the menuitems rather than the right?

Thanks

Hi,

You need to check out the various properties for the menu. There are links below my name to style, menu and item properties. For this issue, you are looking for the subimageposition= property which allows you to position the sub image. Right is default, so you'd put in left to get it to the left side.

Sheesh!

I looked high and low for that and must have gone by it. Too many late nights staring at a computer screen I guess.

Thanks.
