RE: CSS Popout Menu - 12/23/2004 11:20:32   
Now this is a good Christmas gift! I'll be checking it out to see if I can implement this in my site. I've been wanting to do the Horizontal Dropdown CSS menus. Thank you very much for supplying it. I'm hoping I will be able to figure things out without the tutorial, but if not I'm sure I can hold out til the end of Jan.

Just thought I'd let you know..

I've been playing with the menu in DWMX2004, and within the Design View, it doesn't display properly, but when viewed in browser it's fine...

No big deal...it just looks a but wonky...lol

That's not unusual for DW design view it can't handle the display of CSS & positioning very well, but like you say it displays fine in an actual browser, this applies to a lot of positioned layouts in DW View unfortuantely. and makes people think that all is not well sometimes..

Anyways it's the holidays so have a good one!

oh and Hiya all, Merry Xmas

Welcome to Outfront...:)

I'm not bothered about it all looking skew-wif in DW...I mainly use Coding View for most work :)

Hang around...we could use a CSS Guru...well..another one anyway:)

Interesting conversation. I've tried the menu with IE on both Mac and PC and as far as I can tell the pop-out DOESN'T work - looks to me like the work around is to give the main menu item a URL and use index pages with the submenu links on it.

I'm using IE 5.2.3 (5815.1) on Mac OS 10.3.8 and IE 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_rtm.040801-2158 on the PC.

I like the elegance of this solution and it works fine with my many other browsers - but no pop-out with IE - when I visit: http://www.seoconsultants.com/nav/x/left-mother.asp

OK I take it back - the menu works with IE on the PC - but I just checked again - not on the Mac.

Hello jnewman. Unfortunately IE 5.x on the Mac does not support the :hover except on anchors like the other IE's, nor does it read conditional comments.

I'd also like to let everyone know that we've finalized the CSS for both the Horizontal CSS Menu and the Vertical CSS Menu.

For those of you who have implemented the above CSS Popout Menu solution, you should download/upload the latest csshover.htc from Peterned's site (file was updated 2005-01-21).

The updates address an IE 5.x specificity issue that was uncovered during our development and testing of these menus in various environments.

If anyone else has found any bugs, please do let us know so that we can make revisions where necessary, thanks!

I don't believe I missed this thread until now. POR you are a lifesaver. I have a fixed design with 5 buttons (all agreed in the contract) and now he wants 17. I've been wondering how the h3ll to get them in there but that solves it.

Is there a way to independently specify the width of the child elements? - just so they arent the same width as the <h2>?

Specify a width on the li ul...

#menu li ul{position:absolute;left:142px;top:0;display:none;width:150px;}

RE: CSS Popout Menu - 9/10/2005 2:22:18   
I have created the vertical pop out menu from the files and tutorial, but I cannot get it to work in IE. It is great with firefox. The csshover.htc and the code for the html is in the same directory, my desktop. Is there another file i need? When I browse the online version it works with IE, but my local copy only works with Firefox. Can you tell if I am doing anything wrong or need another file.
Thanks!

can't see too well from your code, but think it might be a link path issue to the hover file.

the .htc file should be called relative to the css file (like an image) and not the actual HTML page.

what I usually suggest to people is to put the .htc into the same directory as the css files and the you can call it with a simple:
body{behavior:url(csshover.htc);}


without worrying about path names

Um, yes, I was wondering how to do that!!!

Are the links given in post of 23 Dec. 2004 still the final versions, or was a tutorial ever put in place?

Will now go & see if I can make head or tail of this - most impressive.

Best regards

Newbie!

I can't download the hover:htc. I combed through peterned's site, but it is not obvious to me where I can download the file.

I'm excited to use the menu!
Thx
Paul

Hi,

is it possible to have variable width of items in horizontal menu.
I mean, I don't want to have fixed width of items. I want that every
item(cell) is wide as text in her:-).

Best regards and thanks,
basas:-)
