Second horizontal suckertreemenu

**wiswag** · 04-08-2008, 11:44 AM

I need a second horizontal suckertree menu - the first expands/drops down - the second is horizontal only. When I attempt to combine them on one page the second adopts the width attributes of the first. I need to be able to control the width factor which has to be different in each menu. Thanks in advance.

Here, lets make sure you did it right, you need to put in here:

Code:

var menuids=["treemenu1"]

Then add a , then place in the next ul, example:

Code:

var menuids=["treemenu1"],["2"]

Then I'd make another:

Code:

<ul id="2">
<li><a href="#" style="border-left: 1px solid black">Item 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Item 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Folder 1</a>
  <ul>
  <li><a href="#">Sub Item 1.1</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Sub Item 1.2</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Sub Item 1.3</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Sub Item 1.4</a></li>
  </ul>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Item 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#">Folder 2</a>
  <ul>
  <li><a href="#">Sub Item 2.1</a></li>
  <li><a href="#">Folder 2.1</a>
    <ul>
    <li><a href="#">Sub Item 2.1.1</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Sub Item 2.1.2</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Sub Item 2.1.3</a></li>
    <li><a href="#">Sub Item 2.1.4</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>
</a>
</li>
<li><a href="#">Item 4</a></li>
</ul>

Hope this helps, I need your code to make it really help.

Here, you need to take a look at the html code. It was wrong, you weren't applying any hover on it and thats why it didn't have the hover affect:

Code:

<style type="text/css">

.suckertreemenu ul{

So did my script work?

**wiswag** · 04-11-2008, 08:57 AM

I am afraid your coding didn't do what I was looking for. I am trying to get the second menu to have a different width (/*Top level menu link items style*/) from the first. I've tried various permutations without success. Thanks again.

Apply a different class to whatever element you want to increase the size of. Then change the size from that.

Here is an example of what I mean:

Code:

<html>

float: left;
background-color: #F3F3F3; /*overall menu background color*/
}

/*Top level menu link items style*/
.suckertreemenu ul li a{
display: block;
width: 90px; /*Width of top level menu link items*/
padding: 1px 8px;
border: 1px solid black;
border-left-width: 0;

}

The important parts that I added (except for the obvious second menu markup) are highlighted. You'll have to reapply any styling changes you made as well as reset the image paths.

Do you want a hover effect for the last one? If you do, I don't think that your doing it right, you didn't include the hover stuff, in the case, it won't show.
Hope this Helps,
Nile
