the script works wonderfully, but I have a question regarding to its position, instead of dropping down right underneath, is it possible of moving it to pop on the right side instead? :)

/cheers!

Well, the line:


dropmenuobj.style.left=dropmenuobj.x-clearbrowseredge(obj, "rightedge")+"px"
controls the left offset of the menu. To make the menu appear to the right of the link, you can modify it to:

dropmenuobj.style.left=dropmenuobj.x-clearbrowseredge(obj, "rightedge")+obj.offsetWidth+"px"
The addition of "obj.offsetWidth" increases the left offset to include the width of the link itself.

This is great! Any way to get it to move only slightly to the right, and not clear to the right edge of the link? Like a certain number of pixels?

If You want to move 10 pixels to the right :

dropmenuobj.style.left=dropmenuobj.x-clearbrowseredge(obj, "rightedge")+10+"px"

[kbrooks]

Amazing how simple that is. Thank you very much!

You're welcome :)

Along the same lines, is there a way to align it at the top of an object? I ask because I've put the rollover code in a table cell and would like the menu to display at the to and to the right of the cell. Thanks in advance. Keep up the great work!

I answered my own question. Just goes to show that when you get to the point where you want to quit. Swear at it a little bit and then try again! ;)

Here's what I did:

On this line,

dropmenuobj.style.top=dropmenuobj.y-clearbrowseredge(obj, "bottom")+obj.offsetHeight+"px"

Remove:

+obj.offsetHeight+"px"

Voila!

I have the same question but regarding to the position of Pop-it menu

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex1/popit.htm

Where is, I suppose, no dropmenuobj. Also how can I align the sub-menu to the right.

Thanks

Hi Guys,

I have a quick question along the same lines as bfisher's alignment problem...

Is there any way to have the menu's pop up, instead of down? I tried playing with the dropmenuobj.style's top parameter but that sets the top value for all of the menus, and if there are a different number of items in each one, they won't all be popping upwards, from the same spot. I believe it's because the menu is built from the top down... maybe I could change it so it builds bottom up?

This is sort of what i'm going for, ascii style.

[pop up two]
[pop up one] [pop up one]
-------------------------------
[menu 1] [menu 2]

Anyway... I've looked at the code for a while and haven't figured it out yet and could use some help :)

Thanks a lot guys :)

Hey Guys,

Eh, I just thought of a quick solution. I added a parameter to the dropdownmenu function that's responsible for vertically offsetting an ammount for that specific menu.

Heh, I don't know why I didn't just do that in the first place :P

Ah well, thanks for writing this sweet lil' dhtml nugget. It's got to be the best menu i've seen ^_^

Hi
When i go on a menu, the sub-menu's drop under each other.
Is it possible to drop them next to each other so you get something like this.
Menu
Sub Sub Sub Sub ....
???
And i found how to change the yellow colour but i can't find how to change the red text into white or something else.
Thanks

Is it possible to add a pop up page with the below code like:-

<A class="pop" HREF="javascript:void(0)" ONCLICK="open('/???/default.asp','miniwin','scrollbars=1,width=568,height=450')">

it would be excellent if anyone has a solution to this.

I have tried placing the above into the link but doesn't want to work.

Any help useful. Cheers.

This script is wonderful, and I'm trying to adapt it for use in a right-aligned menu (direction:rtl). Does anyone know how to tweak the code so it displays the dropdowns from the right edge of the screen instead of the left edge?

Thanks a lot!!

in the "horizontal offset" just use a negative number.
