Check out: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/hvmenu/index.htm - this might help you out. Very easy I think. I did understand it :) If you want to see what it can look like: www.merchantaccounts4less.com - I set it up there.

Thanks for that Coreybryant

Everything is working fine now i have it on my site. i do have one problem. when i change resolutions from
1024 by 788 pix to 800 by 600 pix or n e thing higher then 1024 by 788 then menu moves out of position and i do not wont it do to that.. wot do i need to do to stop it?

Thankz



coreybryant -> RE: drop down menus (3/18/2004 18:54:33)

It should not move since it is being placed absolutely. Do you have the URL?



Renegade -> RE: drop down menus (3/18/2004 19:21:27)

nope i do not have 1 yet sorry. i have it HORIZONTAL it a space i saved just to but it in. when i view it on my comp its fine
but when i view it on a comp 800 by 600 its moved to far left of the space i have put it in



coreybryant -> RE: drop down menus (3/18/2004 20:03:12)

That might be because of the pixels actually. A pixel on a 800X600 is larger than one on a smaller resolution



Renegade -> RE: drop down menus (3/19/2004 11:37:45)

hi coreybryant

ihave a URL now maybe when u get time you can see wot i talking about i tell me wot i have done wrong. It is http:// hopefully you can help. i have not finished it i wont it get the menu fixed b4 i add all the right info

thanx again



coreybryant -> RE: drop down menus (3/19/2004 11:47:41)

Right now I see the drop down menu a little bit above the middle of the pictures & starting more to the left of the images. Reviewing your source code - you are centering your main table. If you put the table on the left & keep it at 717 pixels - you can then make sure that the menu will appear at the same place on the browsers.



Renegade -> RE: drop down menus (3/19/2004 12:37:29)

yep that works fine. but does this mean that my table and menu can not be centered together? if you do cum up with a work to do it plz can u tell me

thanx for your help

I tried to do that actually a few days ago. Someone emailed me but it looks like it has to be absolutely. We tried to tweak the JS code some but just kept getting errors along the way. [:@] so we decided to just use the absolute.



Renegade -> RE: drop down menus (3/19/2004 13:28:33)

how do i get my menu to load fast like the one on your site and take away that menu ready to use at the bottom?



coreybryant -> RE: drop down menus (3/19/2004 13:41:06)

Well as fas as the Menu ready for use - it is on mine until you move your cursor over the menu & it is gone. You can also consider using javascript & placing a message in the status bar though.

As far as loading fast - not really certain. It could be your server generating the code?



Renegade -> RE: drop down menus: coreybryant (3/25/2004 16:43:57)

hi Coreybryant

i don't know if this can be done but i wanna put my own gif buttons for the top level of my menu. Then when i mouse over my own button then the menu drops down.

Thanx

Renegade



coreybryant -> RE: drop down menus: coreybryant (3/25/2004 18:37:14)

I think the coding allows for an image but I would have to review it more to see if it is only for the top level or all levels. Is all cool or just the top?



Renegade -> RE: drop down menus: coreybryant (3/25/2004 18:46:04)

Top level is cool is wot i was hoping to do but all would be even better.

i did notice that it say's you can have images but i can seem to get it to work so i you can then it would be nice if you can post the code layout. if i manage to get it working b 4 u then i'll get back to you to say its fine

Thankz



coreybryant -> RE: drop down menus: coreybryant (3/25/2004 19:17:56)

From what I am gathering, it is something like: 
Menu1=new Array("Home","http://www.merchantaccounts4less.com/default.asp","<img src='../rightback.gif'>",0,19,151,"","","","","");

but I cannot get it to work.



Renegade -> RE: drop down menus: coreybryant (3/25/2004 20:31:14)

yeah i tried that to but it does not work. i'll have to keep playing until i get it right

thanx



Renegade -> RE: drop down menus (3/25/2004 20:42:58)

Hi coreybryant

i have got it to works now:

Menu1=new Array("<img src='menu_bottom1.gif'>","HomePage","",0,19,151,"","","","","");

That is the right way the code goes if you need it



coreybryant -> RE: drop down menus (3/25/2004 20:47:07)

Cool. Hm, I guess the instructions are wrong. And that was one of the few times I read instructions. [;)]



Renegade -> RE: drop down menus (3/25/2004 22:17:47)

hello again

do u know how i can my the top level shorter or longer because i need to add a new menu6 but i do not have the room to but it in.

thanx



coreybryant -> RE: drop down menus (3/25/2004 22:19:54)

Well the 19 - you can adjust those in pixels. That might help?
