Fixed height for menus
Fixed height for menus
I'm working with a image map of the US that uses the menu like in sample #4:
http://milonic.com/menusample.php?sampleid=4
One of my items in the map is the state of Indiana and I'd like to be able list all 92 counties in the state when you click on the state. The problem is that the menu will stretch to the height of the browser window and also does not include the scrollbars (overflow="scroll").
So, I guess this is my feature request: to be able to specify a set height for any menu (independent of itemheight) and thereby enable vertical scrolling, regardless of the browser window's height.
Thanks.
PS: IMHO, Milonic DHTML Menu is hands-down the best menu system on the web. Kudo's to Andy and everyone else who's worked on this!!

I think I get what hes saying. Hes got a menu thats LONG so obviously it is going to have a scroll bar. But what he wants is to be able to contrain the overall height of the menu so that it doesn't have to hit the bottom of the browser window before it scrolls. He wants to keep the menu small and contained within the area 'around' Indiana but with the scroll bars to support the large amount of selections.
I think this is a good request, worthy of exploration. Say I have a menu with 10 items in it, and I only want to show 4 at a time, there should be a way to either (1) tell it how many overall pixels the menu height should be so only a certain amount show at a time or (2) say how many menu items should be displayed at one time and if there where more, it would put scroll bars.
I like it, it'd be a neat feature that I have yet to see. It would almost give the menu the functionality of a drop down list box HTML, kinda sort.

I think it's a great idea also. I wonder if in that dropdown look..which it has but it drops the full length of however many items you have...wonder if with that drop down look there's a way to get an auto scroll if you put your mouse on the last item. I HATE scroll bars, They look so yucky..gray, fat and definately not artistic.

Actually, G4 prices have come down a bit because of the G5 release. If you're a student you can get a discount from the Apple store online, usually $200-$300 off retail. I just checked there - $1,799 - $2,699 for a 1.6GHz to a dual 2GHz. You can custom-build you own machine right online. Prices can get nasty, but so is the machine G4s go $1,199 - $2,976 for 1.25GHz to a dual 1.25GHz. These are all desktop machines.
Also keep your eye on the back pages of the Mac magazines for discounts from the mail order places.

Sounds like a good investment, I'll check reports before going there. It is afterall the backbone to a growing organization. Thanks for doing my homework
I'll have to email all my files to myself.
Have you looked at the technology project, I just missed the deadline, now applying to local foundations.

I wish there was a cheap way to get macs, like by building them yourself. I put together my top o' the line computer at home for just under $500. Can't do that with a mac unfortunately. I wish it could be, but oh well. Anyone heard of or seen a operating system (like linux) with a GUI like OS X?

If I remember right, years ago there used to be, but Apple pulled the plug on it. There were clones as well (most licensed by Apple), but they, too, got dropped.
Right now I struggle to pay for gas to get to a job that doesn't pay me enough to buy gas So, my dual G5 and '04 Durango and motorhome all wait for the lottery...

I instinctually know that my work is my fate, I was supposed to die but I survived the most horendous cancerous tumor in March (without chemo I might add), always looking for the positive side, if I'm awarded a grant, I can say I died and went to heaven
Can't you both put your javascript together and grab those lottery numbers

I have that link for you, just missed this one, so it will give you plenty of time to come up with a good plan.

(don't tell anyone I had all the mercury and metal in my teeth pulled ) then found a really nice surgeon to only take out the tumor and not all my female organs saturated in mercury, I looked nine months pregnant and skin and bone, now I'm all healthy again. Its not true Brits have bad teeth, its the amalgam we grew up on.
Where are those 2, up to something new

And I agree about the amalgam. I'm fighting a mess because of that right now.
Don't know about Dave, but Andy's computer got nailed in a power failure over there, and he's been building a new one (this time with UPS!).maz wrote:Where are those 2, up to something new

I'm here, answering questions when I can. College kicked back in (as you well know John) so I am balancing it all...along with my wife, two kids, 35 hrs @ work and a side project or two. But I hope to be done with those projects by the end of September, they're just a couple web pages and a application. I am in my final semester at University at Buffalo only taking two courses, but it still deserves attention. But I'm still here, if not posting as much, but I am keeping up, trust me. I'm hangin in there.... .
