Trouble with a simple offset - help
Poster: Dudger
Dated: Monday September 10 2007 - 17:03:16 BST
Hi All
Sorry if this query makes you wince - I promise i have read the help pages and seen the sticky about forms and offsets - but this quote
Quote:
if you position the menu with screenposition="center" and then delclare left="offset=-120" this will position the menu in the center of the page and then adjust this position by moving the menu a futher 120 pixels to the left
is basically what im trying to do - and i simply cant make it work
The menu works fine when the page is left justified, when i centre it to accomodate the proliferation of widescreen monitors (Like the one i have just bought cos the old one went pop).
Either the menu simply seems locked to the far left of the first table section - or it just dissapears ?

Unfortunately not - Im doing the site for a committee led forum im in (http://www.SBMCC.co.uk)- so im not prepared to let anyone critisize before its fully working ( I assume you have seen what committees cn be like
).
But honestly - its not a rocket science site.
If you want - i can post it via my personal web space for a while ?

Hi Again
I have posted the first page in some spare space
Its here http://www.brisbane.co.uk/test
The offending code in the data file is here
Quote:
with(milonic=new menuname("Main Menu")){
style=menuStyle;
alwaysvisible=1;
screenposition="centre";
left="offset=39";
//these two lines above are the problem
orientation="horizontal";
top=122;
aI("text=Home;url=index.htm;");
aI("showmenu=club;text=Club Area;");
aI("showmenu=Photo;text=Photo Pages;");
aI("showmenu=Build;text=Build Info;");
aI("showmenu=Join;text=Join/Contact;");
aI("showmenu=Forum;text=Forum;");
style=menuStyle;
alwaysvisible=1;
screenposition="centre";
left="offset=39";
//these two lines above are the problem
orientation="horizontal";
top=122;
aI("text=Home;url=index.htm;");
aI("showmenu=club;text=Club Area;");
aI("showmenu=Photo;text=Photo Pages;");
aI("showmenu=Build;text=Build Info;");
aI("showmenu=Join;text=Join/Contact;");
aI("showmenu=Forum;text=Forum;");
I hope someone can point me down the right path
Cheers
Dave

Hi Again - thanks for trying to help, ive given up on the Centre command (Does not appear able to cope over frames)
Opted to embed the menu call instead, which works fine.
Cheers
Dave
