Q: I'm still having the issue with the sub-menus not being in the proper place, however I was able to fix the issue with menu now showing up in IE at all, it turns out I forgot a tag. So do you know why the sub-menu alignment changes depending on the browser window size? Either of the links below should give an example.
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="position:absolute"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="position:absolute;"
to the
<DIV id=navholder>
So, you'll have:
<DIV id=navholder style="position:absolute;">

A: You can create Individual XP Style and use it for items with submenus:
var tXPExpandBtn=["left.files/blank-arrow.gif","left.files/blank-arrow.gif", "left.files/blank-arrow.gif","left.files/blank-arrow.gif"];
var tXPStyles = [
["tXPExpandBtn=left.files/menu-arrow.gif,left.files/menu-arrow.gif, left.files/menu-arrow01.gif,left.files/menu-arrow01.gif"],
];
and assign this style for all top items with submenus:
["+Company Profile","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ], //style0
["|Item 25","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["|Item 26","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["+Projects","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ], //style0
["|Item 27","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["|Item 28","", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", ],
["+Services","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", ], //style0
Try that.
Q: There is one other issue I am hoping you can help with? When the dhtml web menu drops down in Safari over a SWF -- it disappears. I have added the function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide() code to the top of my data file. Can you please advise what else I can try?
A: Submenu couldn't overlap flash in Safari correctly.
And the following code:
// Safari detect
if ((parseInt(navigator.productSub)>=20020000) &&(navigator.vendor.indexOf('Apple Computer') != -1) &&(navigator.product=='Gecko'))
return true;
in function
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
// Safari detect
if ((parseInt(navigator.productSub)>=20020000) &&(navigator.vendor.indexOf('Apple Computer') != -1) &&(navigator.product=='Gecko'))
return true;
else
return false;
}
cause flash to disappear in Safari.
You can try to write this function in the following way:
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
return false;
}
Q: I have a question:
The smHidePause = 1500
If hide is busy (during 1500), and I click somewhere else on the screen (empty place), I want the submenu to hide.
Can I make this happen?
A: Yes, you can do it.
You should use the following function to hide your submenus:
_dmsm(0);
where 0 - is index of the menu on a page >0.
