Issue with smooth navigational menu

[Krakerjak]

1) Script Title:

Smooth navigational menu ddsmoothmenu

2) Script URL (on DD):

http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...smoothmenu.htm

3) Describe problem:

I am trying to integrate this script into my own css menu

CSS Menu

as you can see it is a menu meant to be placed in a footer and the sub menus slide up to reveal more items.

How can I modify this to do what I am hoping for? (slide up)

also, for reference.

CSS Menu

So any ideas on how to make this a smooth slide up menu instead of drop down menu?

There's a thread on how to do this with the more humble JQuery Multi-Level menu #2 here: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/s...ad.php?t=38517 If this is what you mean by "slide up", I'll see if I can come up with something today or tomorrow for Smooth Menu instead.

Yes, that is exactly what i mean.
that minor modification works on smoothmenu to make the menu drop up/slide up

Just gotta get the animation to go in the right direction (and those arrows too i gess )
im hoping it's just as easy to change

example

[ddadmin]

Try the below modified .js file. Note that the animation still slides from up to down (instead of the reverse) however. There's no easy way to change that.

So I managed to modify the Jquery multi level css menu 2 script to give me a animation consistent with the slideup menu I created.

All I had to do was make the change to the original script outlined in this thread that you posted
as well as changing the references to 'top' in jqueryslidemenu.js to 'bottom'
and 2 changes in jqueryslidemenu.css from 'top: 0;' to 'bottom: 0;'

It works beautifully as a slide up menu with the animation going from bottom to top instead of top to bottom!
I found the tip on another site, apparently the animation will slide in a direction based on whether you position your elements using top or bottom.

Thanks for a great script,
though I miss the option from ddsmoothmenu to fetch menu contents from a separate file.
