Menus in floating tables

Post by whittenmike807 »

i have a menu that looks like i want it to. http://www.enfohelp.com/enfostructure.html

Everything looks fine at 1280 x 1024, but if someone looks at it anything else the menus mess up. Need help please.

Hi

try this:

remove all

Code: Select all

left=250; 
top=150; 
from the submenus,

keep only the top=100; of the main menu, as it is.
Add

Code: Select all

screenposition="center";
to the main menu.
This position (centered) needs then to be adjusted by an offset, depending on a number of pixels to the left or right, you have to find out.
All

Code: Select all

orientation="vertical";
are not required (its the default). The orientation set to horizontal (main menu) of course is correct.

Hi

If the positions of the subs have to be adjusted, use left / top together with an offset in the respective submenu definition.

It is now only, that I had a look at your 1280 x 1024 design. The distance between the main menu (top-right oriented) and the subs (left oriented) seems not very user friendly and - as - if the distance is too long, and the timing is not correct, it will be difficult to navigate.
