horizontal pop up menus |
|---|
| message from ioguy on 19 Jul 2004 |
i am trying to implement a horizontal pop-up menu. But since the items in the
menu are of different word lengths, the spacing looks awkward. There is an
option to adjust cell widths, but i would like to alter them individually, does
anyone know how to manipulate the cell width for the horizontal pop-up menus?

First, if you are using DW or FW generated popup menus, scrap them and start
over. They are wordy, buggy and extremely difficult to maintain, unless you
are a JavaScript guru. I am proficient with JS and even I donšt like it.
Also, if you don't implement it just right, you can cause search engine
spiders to miss the content of the rest of your site.
Check out the Project VII menus
Simple VII menus are my favorite:

Also look at the PVII Positioned Popups (snapmenus):
http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/navigation/snapmenus/index.htm
Both are free and although only outwardly support single level submenus,
they can both be easily configured to support multi-level submenus. Both
will support either image or text buttons. Read and follow the tutorials and
you will be a dropdown guru ... OK, maybe not a guru, but you should have an
idea where to go next.
Good Luck!
