@tester:

Why doesn't this menu show "Home".

There is no parent switch at this Moment. It isn´t easy.
Where should we position this link? At the first and all other will be drop down from this parent link? Or like a simple standalone link (without drop down) first in order?
Please think about this.

@daniel.grant:

nav_list_ul dropdown doesn't work in IE6, I'm assuming this will?

Without JS it does´t. Please switch the IE_hover to on in your config.

Hi flip-flop!

I get your point.

To me the most logical solution would be a a simple standalone link (without drop down) first in order - like:
Since "Home" in most sites just is an entry point from which you can access all other main categories I think this makes sense.

Best regards

Why you don´t redirect to a second "home" like this:

+ root
++ Home
++ Menu1
+++ .......
++ Menu2
+++ .......
++ .......

Thats the method you see in my screen shot.

Knut

Hi!

What about search engines when you redirect them at the entry of your site?

Anyway I forgot to mention that I like this menu very much - nice work

Nice one - thanks!

It isn´t a NAV_LIST_UL tread. The {NAV_HORIZ_DD:ID} don´t use this switch

Knut

i love it
this menu is great

thanks Knut

This is really a nice menu! On the other hand I find it being not so trivial how to get it going as required:
When I install it out of the box and place it somewhere in the normal flow, everything is fine.

But when I try to place it in an extra div which is then pulled at place with position:fixed and some z-index (should not scroll!) the menu items are a bit out of order then and have to be reordered quite a lot (shifting to the right, not open fully (only when hovering) and so on...

Perhaps I'm doing something wrong... perhaps some secret trick will pop up ...
Anyway - a nice one nevertheless

I have a lot of white space between the Drop Down and my breadcrumb.
When I remove the Drop Down the space goes away.

Is it something in the css code?
Also because I sometimes have a vertical scroll bar I need to have the width of my content block wider than the Drop Down.
Can I make both widths the same and change the Z-Index code?

#menu_container {
margin: 0px 0 100px 1px;

-> It is for testing only (ie5.x)

Try this instead: margin: 0 0 0 1px;

Thanks!
I'm learning little by little.

I'm using this simply brilliant bit of code on the webiste I'm building at the moment, however, I do have a query.

On my site I have phpwcms, an image gallery and a blog. I'd like to hard code links to the image gallery and blog onto the phpwcms navigation bar, but I haven't the faintest idea how to go about doing it.

Suggestions/advice would be gratefully received.

Hi,

at -> ADMIN -> [site structure] please insert a new category e.g called blog and/or gallery.
At -> ARTICLE -> [site structure and article list] insert into this new category one article. In [article basis information] you will find the field [redirect to:]
At this place you insert e.g.: http://example.com/myblog.php _blank
( _blank = new window)

That´s all.

Knut

Oh! That is so simple. *feels a bit of a fool*

Thanks very much Knut!

Today I ran into a "problem"
I've created a CP multimedia with a little .wmv file. I call the page and the video displays its content. So far, so good...
When hovering over the pull down menu the video just plain vanishes in FF
In Opera it seems to hold breath but then continues to stay on screen.
In IE7 and IE6 it's all as it should be.
Should it be possible that my beloved FF isn't able to handle this one?
Has anybody any experience with such an issue?
