Milonic JavaScript Menu

Got it!

added "?wmode=transparent" to the embeded youtube URL.

How's everyone in merry old England?

Any thoughts?

Thanks.

I think I may have solved it myself. Set the wmode to "opaque" in flowplayer.

From:
flowplayer("player", "http://www.rimea.org/flowplayer/flowplayer.commercial-3.2.5.swf", {

to:
flowplayer("player", {src: "http://www.rimea.org/flowplayer/flowplayer.commercial-3.2.5.swf", wmode: 'opaque ...

Hi all,

Happy New Year.

Previously, I had a flash object placed using the "swfobject.js" script, which I think I found here at Milonic. It always behaved perfectly; the menu always in front of the flash movie:

Now I'm using flowplayer, and I thought all was well, it ...

Thank you so much Ruth.

Unfortunately, it still doesn't change the way the menu is displayed in IE8. The menu on the forum page is still smaller than the history page... the black dashed border around the "menu" div is different.

On the history page, the border sits right on the edge of the div ...

Hi Ruth,

I added that meta tag just this morning... I was trying to see if I could make the little IE compatibility view button go away. It's not helping or hurting anything, I think. I've removed it.

That's correct... that one page is NOT showing the bottom margin on the forum page, which I guess ...

Thanks Ruth.

There is a div called "menubottom", it contains the the small grayish border under the menu that looks kinda like \\\\\\\\\.

That div has a 5px margin at the bottom. It's the last item before I close the red-bordered "no-print" div.

In bottom screen shot, you can see the extra white ...

Hi Ruth,

Thanks so much. I've added the borders.

I just discovered that on my laptop (same OS and version of IE), the menu appears identical on both pages. 8O

Is this likely because I used em rather than px in the css?

The "broken machine" shows extra space below the "menubottom" div and the ...

Hi Ruth,

Thank you.

That small difference is what I'm talking about... it's more than a few pixels on my machine though. It took me forever to try to ingrate my site into phpbb... I'm kinda happy with how far I'm come, but it bugs me that I don't know what ...

Hi Ruth,

Sorry...I've been hacking away at this for weeks. It all seems okay now, save for one issue.

In Fire Fox, it's perfect.

But in IE 8, when I look at the menu here:
http://www.rimea.org/history.php

and then here:
http://www.rimea.org/forum/

... it's off a bit, probably a result of phpbb ...

Thank you Ruth.

Been testing in FireFox. Noticed that the menu looks fine in IE.

I separated the main_menu.js and subs_menu.js as described in method 1 here (thanks for this):

It's better now... but the ...

I found it... in the css, these two bits are causing the menu to act weird:

#outer
{
z-index: 2;
position: relative;

and

#menu
{
position: relative;
background: #009BDE url('images/menubg.gif') repeat-x top left;

I can move the "position: relative;" from the #menu, but not from #outer ...

I was working offline until now... but that's gotta be it. (A css conflict)

Right before the css file uploaded, the menu behaved correctly...

Thanks.

I found this...

It's working beautifully... except that the menus that open up under the parents are far, far away from the parents. Weird.

Hi all,

I'm redesigning my site so that it is a centered, fixed-width theme, much like Milonic's site

What settings does one use to position the menu like it is on the Milonic home page?

screenposition="center" doesn't quite cut it, as the menu will appear fluid as I'm re-sizing the browser ...

GOT IT!
Thanks anyway!

Hi all,

Once again, please forgive me for asking this here... please know that I am a long-time member of the Milonic family (I own a half dozen licenses), and I now a lot of knowledgeable people frequent the Milonic boards.

This does have something to do with the Milonic menu, as the form in ...

Thank you Andy!

Hi all,

Forgive me for asking this here... but I now a lot of knowledgeable people frequent the Milonic boards.

I might be reaching, but this does have something to do with the Milonic menu, as the form in question uses the menu to populate some very long "virtual" pull-down menus. (Andy assisted ...

That did it!

Ya know, I bet you hear this all the time, but YOU ROCK Ruth!

Thanks very much.
