Release Candidate 13

Post by John »

Many fixes, mostly to do with menu positioning on the Mac. Expect to see additional updates to RC13 posted yet today (note that as of this message posting, 4 versions have already gone up today :!: )

Still remaining to fix are 100% width and Div hiding for the older browsers, then we go V5 for real :D

Hooray... :!:

Hey Andy, havent looked at the RC13 yet but I know there are some fixes. Are there any new features added? Anything with styles or functions or onclicks, etc?

Not that I can remember, did you have anything in particular in mind?

No, nothing in particular. But i have a couple ideas, maybe I will bounce them off of you on the side for future versions. ;) I was just curious.

Scratch the above. He's still at it, folks. More versions posted since I left the office today. Get in on the fun. The more we get to help test in this final stretch, the sooner we'll get REAL :!:

I'll take another download, right now I have a link to apple at the top of the page.

I was wondering about 3 buttons in one item at the bottom of my tools menu, for page up, page down and close menu (move td left).

Warm regards

Try it, Maz. Not sure what will happen if you have more than one of the same statement type in there, but my guess is it would take the last one - unless Andy has gotten fancy again!

Is there any chance of the followscroll menu working for me on the mac?

So far I have it position relative in a table and only the background color moves down the page, I can't open submenus.

If I place the main menu part in the table will it make any difference now?

Keeping it without position relative was just too jerky, open a submenu scroll bar and the main menu jerked up and down, making it difficult to follow the submenu link, the top part of the submenu had no scroll bar - equal the difference between the top of the page and the top of the table.

windows IE 6 it appears to work, but when I pointer over the menu the submenu opens without the background, moving over it the background comes in. If the pointer is on the top menu on load, it fills in with the second menu items until reload.

I loaded 14 but can't test it yet due to a mysql warning.

Warm regards

Relative positioning and Followscrolling won't work.

Relative positioned means fixed in place and can't move, although John did get something to work along these lines in theory it should be illegal to have a fixed position menu move about the screen.

You can use screenposition to ensure that your menu is where you want it to be - As these menus are absolute positioned they can move.

Cheers
Andy.
