overflow not working

[jcyr]

I am testing out the Milonic code for a site and so far its working great. However the scrolling isn't working. I can't seem to figure out either what paramater sets the menu length or what I am missing... thanks for the help!

I should note that I have installed the latest code (5.05) just today.

menuheight
itemheight

take your pick

I thought itemheight specified the size of the menu item? I want the menu to scroll after say 10 items in the list.

[jcyr]

Ok, I see. I need it in there, then the scrolling will work if the window is way too small. So it is working now.

Maybe the documentation should mention that if you have overflow set to scroll then you must specify the itemheight?

[rudy]

If you use the overflow="scroll" without the itemheight or menuheight, won't the menu still scroll "automatically" if it is long enough where it is dropping below the users screen?
The reason I ask, is the sample menus on this site do not use the menuheight or itemheight (only the overflow="scroll") code, and yet they have scrollbars on some of the menus.

[John]

Correct, Rudy.

I wasn't able to get it to work that way. I took directly from samples. Not sure why, but it is working now. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I trigger the menu from javascript.

thanks.
