Treemenu submenu scrolling with pagein Firefox 2.0.0.11

Post by ripnoel »

Greetings:

My embedded treemenu seems to be scrolling it's submenus in Firefox 2.0.0.11 and I can't seem to be able to get that turned off at least in Firefox. The page in question can be viewed here: http://www.abacusarts.com/fst/index11.html . It does not scroll in IE7

The javascript is here:
http://www.abacusarts.com/fst/js/mainMe ... a_test1.js

I aolso have another menu in a table cell and the js is here:
http://www.abacusarts.com/fst/js/mainMe ... in_menu.js
http://www.abacusarts.com/fst/js/mainMe ... nu_data.js

I have also noticed that my menu buttons seem to be sizing a little larger in IE7. Is there anything I can do about this?

Help in getting this scrolling submenu turned off is appreciated.

Hi,

I have tried everything I know to stop that from happening, but nothing seems to work. I've put it on the list for that because as you know, it is in development. I think it has something to do with the fact that you have it set relatively in the table. Do you have to have it in the table? Is that left row a fixed size? If so you could place it absolutely using left=whatever that left table column width is, and top=, the problem will then disappear. I'm sorry I can't find a solution for you on that.

Hi Ruth,

No the left column is built to center the page contents as is the right one. Until this is resolved as a sort of work around would it be possible to set the whole menu to scroll relative to it's table position? Just a thought...

Thanks for your help. BTW, how can I be notified when the beta gets updated?

Hi,

Because it is set relatively, it won't scroll. I'm going to play and see if I can get it set correctly for your layout using absolute positioning. I have time so it's not problem for me to play around. I had a thought but it will take some figuring. There is an option in the menu to set it at screenposition center, and along with that option is the ability to set a negative offset. So, if there is a way to figure the pixels from the center to set it back you could set it absolutely which would solve all the problems. I'll have to look at your layout and if I figure something I'll get back to you. Also, I can give myself a note to notify you when this goes out of development.

Keep in mind that this might be a while, as all efforts right now are being concentrated on completing v6 of the menu system. Regardless, it will most likely be announced in Milonic News, Product Updates, or both.

Well, I tried the absolute position and for the maximum resolution my computer allows of 1280x1028 it worked. I tried it at 1024x765 and 11 something up to the 1280 and the menu stayed in the correct place.

If you want to try it, you'd call the menu files up after the body tag, and you'd change the main menu to be this

Code: Select all

with(new menuname("main Tree Menu")){
style = tstyle1;
alwaysvisible = 1;
//margin=AllMargin
screenposition="center";
top="offset=127";
left="offset=-361";
So, it wouldn't be relatively positioned now, and that menu shift problem when one scrolls isn't there.
