how to make a vertical menu using Chrome CSS Drop Down Menu?

[justicefish]

Script: Chrome CSS Drop Down Menu
url: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...rome/index.htm

I want to have a vertical menu instead of a horizon one, so I want the pop up menu to display next to the link instead at bottom, so I had tried to change the code, but my change doesn't seems to affect anything..

dropit:function(obj, e, dropmenuID){
if (this.dropmenuobj!=null) //hide previous menu
this.dropmenuobj.style.visibility="hidden"
this.clearhidemenu()
if (this.ie||this.firefox){
obj.onmouseout=function(){cssdropdown.delayhidemenu()}
this.dropmenuobj=document.getElementById(dropmenuID)
this.dropmenuobj.onmouseover=function(){cssdropdown.clearhidemenu()}
this.dropmenuobj.onmouseout=function(){cssdropdown.dynamichide(e)}
this.dropmenuobj.onclick=function(){cssdropdown.delayhidemenu()}
this.showhide(this.dropmenuobj.style, e, "visible", "hidden")
this.dropmenuobj.x=this.getposOffset(obj, "left")
this.dropmenuobj.y=this.getposOffset(obj, "top")
this.dropmenuobj.style.left=this.dropmenuobj.x-this.clearbrowseredge(obj, "rightedge")+1+"px"
this.dropmenuobj.style.top=this.dropmenuobj.y-this.clearbrowseredge(obj, "bottomedge")+obj.offsetHeight+0+"px"
}
},

contains_firefox:function(a, b) {
while (b.parentNode)
if ((b = b.parentNode) == a)
return true;
return false;
}

There's no easy way for this right now. For the moment you can look at: AnyLink vertical menu.

hi... i'm new here and im no pro in any field regarding web design.. however, while looking for a method in this forum to enable Chrome CSS to support 3-level menus(if anyone knows pls help me out!), i came across your post and decided to try it out..

it happens to work but i don't know if there are any implications on other parts of the code but if you're keeping it 2-level i think there shouldnt be a problem... try this... you were right to try to edit that portion of the code.

dropit:function(obj, e, dropmenuID){
if (this.dropmenuobj!=null) //hide previous menu
this.dropmenuobj.style.visibility="hidden"
this.clearhidemenu()
if (this.ie||this.firefox){
obj.onmouseout=function(){cssdropdown.delayhidemenu()}
this.dropmenuobj=document.getElementById(dropmenuID)
this.dropmenuobj.onmouseover=function(){cssdropdown.clearhidemenu()}
this.dropmenuobj.onmouseout=function(){cssdropdown.dynamichide(e)}
this.dropmenuobj.onclick=function(){cssdropdown.delayhidemenu()}
this.showhide(this.dropmenuobj.style, e, "visible", "hidden")
this.dropmenuobj.x=this.getposOffset(obj, "left")
this.dropmenuobj.y=this.getposOffset(obj, "top")
this.dropmenuobj.style.left=this.dropmenuobj.x-this.clearbrowseredge(obj, "rightedge")+obj.offsetWidth+1+"px"
this.dropmenuobj.style.top=this.dropmenuobj.y-this.clearbrowseredge(obj, "bottomedge")+obj.offsetHeight-23+"px"
}
},

Hi,

there is easy way to make chromemenu work as vertical ones
changes:

var cssdropdown={
disappeardelay: 250, //set delay in miliseconds before menu disappears onmouseout
disablemenuclick: false, //when user clicks on a menu item with a drop down menu, disable menu item's link?
enableswipe: 0, //enable swipe effect? 1 for yes, 0 for no
vertical_menu: 1,

and in the the changed drop it function
dropit:function(obj, e, dropmenuID){
if (this.dropmenuobj!=null) //hide previous menu
this.dropmenuobj.style.visibility="hidden" //hide menu
this.clearhidemenu()
if (this.ie||this.firefox){
obj.onmouseout=function(){cssdropdown.delayhidemenu()}
obj.onclick=function(){return !cssdropdown.disablemenuclick} //disable main menu item link onclick?
this.dropmenuobj=document.getElementById(dropmenuID)
this.dropmenuobj.onmouseover=function(){cssdropdown.clearhidemenu()}
this.dropmenuobj.onmouseout=function(){cssdropdown.dynamichide(e)}
this.dropmenuobj.onclick=function(){cssdropdown.delayhidemenu()}
this.showhide(this.dropmenuobj.style, e)
this.dropmenuobj.x=this.getposOffset(obj, "left")
this.dropmenuobj.y=this.getposOffset(obj, "top")
if (this.vertical_menu)
{
this.dropmenuobj.style.left=this.dropmenuobj.x-this.clearbrowseredge(obj, "rightedge")+1+"px"
this.dropmenuobj.style.top=this.dropmenuobj.y-this.clearbrowseredge(obj, "bottomedge")+1+"px"
}
else
{
this.dropmenuobj.style.left=this.dropmenuobj.x-this.clearbrowseredge(obj, "rightedge")+"px"
this.dropmenuobj.style.top=this.dropmenuobj.y-this.clearbrowseredge(obj, "bottomedge")+obj.offsetHeight+1+"px"
}
}
},

it is for newest chromemenu updated: June 14th, 06'

Check if it works for you.
