Menu alignment across frames

Please note that official support for this menu version has now ceased. There are still plenty of users, though, and the forum is still running. Some of our long-time users may be able to help you out.

Menu alignment across frames

Post by bueffel.scott@cnf.com »

I have successfully been able to make the submenus appear in another frame (that took a lot of work), but their alignment is not correct. If there are 5 top-level horizontal elements and element 1 is Home, the submenu for element 2 appears under element 1, all the way down the line. I have tried lots of different settings, but can't get it going. Do you know what value I should be setting? Thanks. Scott.

You guys have to help me. I am going nuts here trying to figure this out.

If I use the sample frames_header_array.js and rename submenu targets to use mine from the ..body..js, it still does it.

If I use the my ..header..js and the sample ..body..js, renaming the body's submenu names to mine, it still does it.

If I take everything out of the main frame's html file except for the calling of the js files, it still does it.

I have tried to tweak this in so many ways I can't remember all the different settings I have tried...offsets, top, width, borders, blahm blah, blah.

I cannot!!!!! figure this out. I am begging for mercy here. What the heck am I missing?

Well, I could not make it work. It was driving me crazy. I figured out that I could get the submenu to line up ONLY IF I also created a side frame the same width as the sample. If I adjusted the width of the side frame at all the submenu would move with it. But I WAS able to make it work by using someone else's 3.3.18 version that they were using. There is a person who posted a link to his website in the beta forum who got it to work. I am in his debt. If any of you continue to have problems, check his site out...his callsign is One Sick Puppy.

Hi!

I had the same problem. If the state field of your menu is "#" just replace it by the display name of the item e.g. news. That's it
