Followscroll menu embedded in a table?

Post by jrs »

I have a menu embedded in a table. If the page gets too long because of the content, I want the menu to scroll with the user, but staying inside the table cell (it is obviously a vertical menu). Is this possible? My current menu is positioned relative because it is embedded. If I change it to absolute, does that change the way it will appear on different browsers?

Hi,

Currently, followscroll does not work within a table, plain and simple. If you want followscroll, you have to have the menu out of the table.

If it is done as suggested here:

there shouldn´t be problems with different browsers.

The menu can only be in once state at a time, either static or movable so a static (relative) menu cannot scroll with the page.



I've had trouble getting the menu to do Quantum Mechanics so it can't do both at the moment but I am working on it.

ps. I'm only joking ;)

Works for me (with a little 'manipulation'). See here.

John,

You gotta tell me how you did that :>)

I'm trying to figure out your code, but I don't see any menu_data files, just references to cource code. I also couldn't find the standard table implementation of the menu. I do see a reference to the tree menu, though.

Will you reveal your secrets? :>)

Hi Viken

its in a <td>, name is "steps_new_data.js".
Looks like a collapsible, but no "tree" type sub.
