Multiple Coloured Menu Padding

[Tessa]

Hi again,

This morning I worked on the menu again and tried to work out (for myself) how to fix the few minor things that need fixing ie, main menu item widths, submenu heights and correct displaying of submenus etc. I really am stumped.

I went through each page of the site and double checked the onload codes I have there and there was one page that wasn't right, so fixed that. (One of you may want to have a little lookie for me just to confirm this?)

I have also tried to work out what the correct wording is to call the height of each item within the submenu because I want to decrease the height of them by half. Is it separator padding??

And with the main menu bar with the four headings, I cannot for the life of me work out how to make these coloured bands show equally. Early on in the questions, Ruth was helping me with the item width to be 25% each but in the end we changed it to 100% for the main menu. Now that we've had a few variations of this menu, I really am not sure where to even put the code that I need to put in! Does that make sense?

Anyway, if someone can help with me with this final adjustment, I would be eternally grateful and then I can leave you all alone!!

Tessa, what's the url? Do you mean the main site or the index.htm link you gave earlier, just to be sure we are checking the correct pages. Thanks.

Since, I was sitting here bored out of my mind, I went to the main site and checked that. All the pages seem to work perfectly. I checked every one, going to them and then mousing over the menu on each.

As to the other issues:

1. itemwidth, if you upgrade to 5.25, making sure you keep your 3 old milonic_src, mmenudom and mmenuns files until you are positive there's no conflict between the new version and something on the site, then you can set this code in the menu

Code: Select all

alwaysvisible=1;
itemwidth="25%";
menuwidth="100%";

and the items will be perfectly spaced. That issue was fixed in the newer version. Just go to the main site, login and then download the new version. Also, you can go hereand find "watch this topic" and mark it, then whenever there is an update you will get an automatic email notification.

2. itemheight, one of the problems is that you have padding set to 5, so that means on the vertical menus each item has 5px above and below it. But, you can set itemheight in the menu in the same area you have the alwaysvisible, put itemheight=15; or whatever you want, but the padding will affect the height of the items.

The site looks really good! If you have any more problems just give a yell.

Thanks Ruth.

It's always a bit scary to download the later version, I will try this later. I suppose I can't try those codes you gave me without downloading the later version?

Thanks for saying the site looks good.

Will let you know,

Tessa,
Put the files you now have in a separate folder, then download the new version, upload the 3 files milonic_src.js mmenudom.js mmenuns4.js to the site, check out how the site works. It's something you can do pretty quick. If there's a problem, then just upload the 3 older files you put into another folder to keep secure. I ALWAYS keep the older files in a separate folder from where I download the newest version.
