A couple of Problems


Poster: Izgard
Dated: Tuesday May 1 2007 - 1:58:42 BST

I am using the frames version (1.7). I have it all functioning except for
these 2 problems. All my menu data is embeded into the page wih script
tags, except for the style which are in a css style sheet, using the onclass and offclass values.

1. The text in each menu item contains an underline, I cannot work out
how to remove it.

2. A menu item I have is quite low on the page and when it displays the
submenus they go of the bottom of the page, causing the content frame to
display scroll bars. In the examples the sub menus seem to reposition
themselves to avoid doing this and/or display scroll bars. If have used the
overflow='scroll'; with no success.

I cannot supply a link to this sorry.

P.S. I am still evaluating this product, so I do not have licenced version.

Hi,

Since you are using css, for some reason that seems to overcome the menu decoration= so I have found that I have to put it in the css, add text-decoration:none; to both the classes.

As to the other, I'd be glad to test it, but I need the html, so I'd need the frames layout you have so I can set it up, and also which browser is doing this. You could also try adding ignoreCollisions=false; to the top part of the menu after the subOffset.

Also, make sure that you have the newest version of the menu. I don't know when you downloaded for evaluation, but it has been updated recently. The newest version is 5.772

Thanks the decoration property worked, however the ignore collisions did not help.

Is there anyway I can email a zip file to you. Rather than copying and pasting a heap of file content?

Hi,

All I really need is the frames layout since that will give me the page names. Or do I need the menu frame page setup because of the menu positioning? If I can just do it from the layout I can set something up to test that problem, but I still need to know which browser.

If I have to have the complete setup, then I'll set a time with you for checking for my email address, so I can remove it as soon as you have it. I don't like having it on forums since that ends up getting me spam which I don't get now :)

Well there are a lot of other files, javascript files, images, style sheets etc. I would need to modify it, so u dont get heaps of errors, and formatting problems. Would be lot easier to send u a zip file. Can you just email me directly and I will reply to you with an attachment.

Hi,

The problem is two-fold. One, your using frames :lol: , two the position of your main menu and therefore the position of the submenus on the other frame which in effect is a whole new page.

There are a few things you can try and see which you like

1. Move the main menu up to top=50; then in the submenus, the ones that open too far down and cause the scroll bar, put top="offset=-whatever number need to shift it up";

2. Leave the main menu where it is and increase the number of pixels in the top="offset=- number of pixels to shift it up";

3. in each submenu that causes the scroll bar, set menuheight=whatever height you want; itemheight=whatever height you need the items to be; and overflow="scroll";

The third option will let you set the height of the menu to be less than the usual height and the overflow="scroll"; then puts in the scroll bar.

Many of these issues are to do with frames. If you were using an iframe, the problem wouldn't occur because since the iframe is actually on the same page as the main menu, the automatic collision detection in the menu would come into play and the submenu would shift up.

Thanks for looking at that for me. I think I will have to look at Iframes, as the menu is dyanmic, built by java code a the back end, so trying to determine the best positions for sub menus would be a mess.
