positioning of dynamically fetched menu items horidhtml menu

[sumathys]

i have my main menu items ( displays horizontally)in a separate file and my submneus (displays vertically)in a separate file.

Currently, i am fetching the main menu items dynamically.The positioning of these items overlaps each other.

How could i set the position such that every item follows one after the other.

Give me a clear idea where and how can i set the position.
Expecting reply ASAP.


Thank you.

Hi,

I really have to have a page to see what's going on. You can position the main menu by using the top and left position, or you can position it in a table using the relative positioned menu directions at the top of this forum. Without a page with the menu I cannot give you any advice on this.

This on_menu.xsl fetches the menu_header items using xsl tag.I have a list of 6 items which is assigned to a variable 'c'.This value ,i am using in the aI().


My sub menu items are in menu_data_body.js


<xsl:for-each select="faml/subMenu/menuitem">

<script type="text/javascript">

_menuCloseDelay=0; // The time delay for menus to remain visible on mouse out
_menuOpenDelay=0; // The time delay before menus open on mouse over
_subOffsetTop=0; // Sub menu top offset
_subOffsetLeft=-205; // Sub menu left offset

/// Style Definitions ///

with(mainStyleHoriz=new mm_style()){
onbgcolor="#9EE3A9";
oncolor="#1D3B23";
offbgcolor="#61A76D";
offcolor="#F7F9F7";
bordercolor="#367E45";
borderstyle="solid";
borderwidth=1;
separatorcolor="#325235";
separatorsize=2;
padding=4;
fontsize=12;
fontstyle="normal";
fontfamily="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial";
subimage="";
onsubimage="";
menuwidth="50%";
itemwidth="100%";
screenposition="right;bottom;";

}

var c = '<xsl:value-of select="./@menudesc"/>';

with(milonic=new menuname("mainMenuHoriz")){
style=mainStyleHoriz;
top=0;
left=205;
orientation="horizontal";
alwaysvisible=1;



aI("text= "+c+";showmenu=sub2;target=frame_BuySell;onfunction=openSubmenu();offfunction=closeSubmenu();");


}

drawMenus();
</script>
</xsl:for-each>


My menu has to display Account summary,Myorder,Myportfolio,Help,Logoff
The problem is that these items overlapone another and dispalys as

Logoff r lio mmary
//assume the space to be the border

Hi,

I will post this to Milonic, but I believe they will also ask you for a page. I can't see how your main menu items are overlapping since according to what you posted there is only 1 item in the main menu. You are also using frames, and the frames menu has some different parameters. Without a page I don't see how anyone can help you. I have not seen any menu in which the main menu items are overlapping each other, I've don't remember ever getting a post with such a problem in all the years I've been here.

The forum really would like to help you with the issue, but I could guess a hundred reasons and never get the correct answer. We really do need to see the page.
