Menu maximum length?

Post by cre8ivjay »

Hi,

installed the milonic nav on our SharePoint instance. Looks good. Question.... wqhat happens when I have too many items in the nav (vertically) than the screen allows?

We're not there yet, but I fear that soon we will be and at that point, what happens? Do the menu items simply fail to show? does the page itself scroll? does the menu have a built in scroll?

We need to address this now (only two weeks after going live) because we don't want to have to do anything drastic after dozens upon dozens of WSS sites have been created.


Thanks!

Jay.

It scrolls - if you tell it to...

Code: Select all

overflow="scroll";

Hi

If there are too many items, find out, which menuheight is "suitable", then set
for instance

menuheight=400;
overflow="scroll";


which makes the vertical menu scroll (gets a scroll bar) when the number of menu items results into a height > 400px;
overflow 13 overflow is used to enable Scollable menus. Setting this property to "scroll" will force proprietary operating system scroll bars to appear on the right hand side of your menu

Hi John,

that was simultaneous! (though there are 12 minutes difference, it seems I edited a little bid too long)

Cheers
