Milonic JavaScript Menu

Thanks for the ideas!

It turns out the menu needs to stick to the left margin, but the basic idea of hiding the fact that the items aren't stretching is a great one. I'll try that, probably by setting the containing TD's background to the regular menu background color, then fiddling with borders ...

Hi there,

I've run into a quirk with how vertical menu items set their width when the menu is in a table cell.

Basically, the TD containing the menu gets ends up being wider than the menu itself, because of the large contents of the TD above it. When that happens I'd like the menu to expand to ...

10% worked great, thanks.

Hi,

I just downloaded version 5.21 of the menu and while it fixed my opera problem, it changed the way my menu is drawn for the worse.

Previously, setting itemwidth="100%"; caused all the items to spread out across the menu to fill the whole width of the menu. Starting with 5.21, all of the extra ...

Thanks! Version 5.21 solved that problem.

Hi,

I've been having problems positioning a menu in a table with center or right justification in Opera 7.5. Ijust checked menusample9 on your site in Opera and I noticed it doesn't work either:



Any ideas? Or is this just a bug?

5.2 seems to have solved the Safari problems! And with two special cases for IE 5 on the Mac, both top and bottom menus are working fine:

Of course, Opera is still weird, but then most of my page looks like crap in Opera, so I'm not going to sweat it.

Thanks ...

Thanks again, Ruth. I tried all those suggestions and no joy in Safari, for the bottom (second) menu.

In fact, adding the extra <table> in the cell (which fixed IE Mac) caused the menu to break pretty badly... instead of the highlight when you mouseover it goes all black.

So, for Safari the ...

Thanks again, the non-breaking space worked great.

Of the other suggestions, only explicitly setting the itemwidth made any difference in Mac IE. So that's what I'll do.

As for the Safari problems, I haven't made any progress. Since the relevant demo on your site doesn't work either (menusample9 ...

Yay, Ruth! The table in a cell thing worked to position the menu on the right in IE on the Mac once I removed width=100%.

The itemwidth="100%" thing actually makes the top menu look better than before in most browser, but in Mac IE it makes every menu item only as wide as its text. It even wraps ...

You're missing the closing ; in both drawMenus() in the HTML.
Oops, added those. As you suspected, no change in the output.

One solution would be to put a one cell table in that cell and align the table right and put the menu in that table.
Ok, I tried it with just a table in the cell, then a ...

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting a menu that looks fine in IE on Windows and in Mozilla to look acceptable in Mac IE and Safari.

Here's a slightly simplified page that show the problem:

And here's a direct link to the menu data:
