Need some help...

 

I'm using son of suckerfish drop down menu and i need to modify it for submenu's but dont know what i'm doing... javascript isn't my language but seems to be the most universal ...

 

this is the suckerfish php code:

 

<script type="text/javascript">
startList = function() {
if (document.all&&document.getElementById) {
navRoot = document.getElementById("nav");
for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {
node = navRoot.childNodes[i];
if (node.nodeName=="LI") {
node.onmouseover=function() {
this.className+=" over";
  }
  node.onmouseout=function() {
  this.className=this.className.replace(" over", "");
   }
   }
  }
}
}
window.onload=startList;
</script>

 

The nav menu uses LI UL html code with css implimented... shown below:

 

.....<li class="menuitem"><a href="#" class="link">MENU 1</a>
<ul id="nav">
<li><a href="#" class="link">NO SUB MENU</a></li>
<li class="menuitem"><a href="link.php" class="link">OPENS SUB MENU</a>
<ul id="sub"> [b](This is what i added)[/b]
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE1</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE2</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE3</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE4</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE5</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE6</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE7</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE8</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE9</a></li>
     </ul>
        </li>.....

 

This is the CSS style sheet with some changes i used to make it work, but its not working.. :(

 

ul {
  padding: 0;
  margin: 0;
  list-style:none;
  border-style: solid;
  border-width: 0px;
  text-align: center;
  }
  
ul.sub {

  border-width: 0px;
  text-align: center;
  }
  
li {

  position: relative;
  text-align: left;
  width: 10em;
  }

  padding-left: 5px;
  padding-bottom: 5px;
  padding-top: 4px;
  padding-right: 5px;
  border-style: solid;

}

li.menusub {
width: auto;
text-align: center;
border-style: none;
padding-left: 10em;
margin: 5px;
background-color: #FFFFFF;
}

li.sub:hover ul, li.sub ul{ 
display: block; 
height: auto;
width: 10em;

}

background-image: url(../images/links.gif);
border-style: none;
background-repeat: no-repeat;
text-align: center;
vertical-align: middle;
padding-top: 0;
}

.sfield {
border-style: solid;
border-color: #000000;
border: 1px;
padding-top: 5px;
padding: 2px;
margin: 2px;
font-size: 11px;
}

border-style: solid;
border-color: #000000;
padding: 1px;
border: 1px;
margin: 2px;
font-size: 11px;
background-color: white;
}

li.menuitem {

try this code instead:

 

<style type="text/css">
#nav, #nav ul { /* all lists */
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
line-height: 1.40em;
}

#nav a {
display: block;
width: 10em;
}

#nav li { /* all list items */
float: left;
width: 10em; /* width needed or else Opera goes nuts */
}

#nav li ul { /* second-level lists */
position: absolute;
background: white;
width: 10em;
        border:solid 1px black;
        padding: 5px 10px 10px 10px;
left: -999em; /* using left instead of display to hide menus because display: none isn't read by screen readers */
}

#nav li ul ul { /* third-and-above-level lists */
margin: -1em 0 0 10em;
}

#nav li:hover ul ul, #nav li.sfhover ul ul {
left: -999em;
}

#nav li:hover ul, #nav li li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul, #nav li li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */
left: auto;
}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

sfHover = function() {
var sfEls = document.getElementById("nav").getElementsByTagName("LI");
for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) {
	sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() {
		this.className+=" sfhover";
	}
	sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() {
		this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover\\b"), "");
	}
}
}
if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover);

</script>

</head><body>

<ul id="nav">

<li><a href="#">MENU 1</a>
	<ul>
		<li><a href="#">NO SUB MENU</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">OPENS SUB MENU</a>
			<ul>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE1</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE2</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE3</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE4</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE5</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE6</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE7</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE8</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">EXAMPLE9</a></li>

			</ul>
		</li>
</ul>

 

to add another second level menu - do this:

 

		<li><a href="#">Level One Name</a>
			<ul>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">Level 2 Name A</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">Level 2 Name B</a></li>
	<li><a href="#" class="link">Level 2 Name C</a></li>
			</ul>
		</li>

This works great except for one problem...

 

I need the total width to be 850px and the text NOT to drop a line...

 

is that possible? Because when i tried doing it, .. the MAIN menu goofs up... or the sub menu goofs up...

 

below are pictures of each.. i can't figure it out.. ARGH!

 

this is default...

 

image1.jpg

 

This is what happens when i try to adjust the table width...

 

image2.jpg

 

I need a mixture of both

 

i need it to align the second image, with the drop downs to look like the first image.. is this possible?

here is about the best I can get it; your still going to have a scrollbar at the bottom of the screen. you could try setting the font to a small size; that may help with that.

 

but anyway - here's the code:

 

<style type="text/css">
#nav, #nav ul { /* all lists */
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
line-height: 1.40em;

}

#nav a {
display: inline;
width: 6em;

}

#nav li { /* all list items */

float: left;
width: 6em; /* width needed or else Opera goes nuts */
}

#nav li ul { /* second-level lists */

position: absolute;
background: white;
width: 6em;
        border:solid 1px black;
        padding: 5px 10px 10px 10px;
left: -999em; /* using left instead of display to hide menus because display: none isn't read by screen readers */
}

#nav li ul ul { /* third-and-above-level lists */

margin: -1em 0 0 6em;
        position: absolue;
}

#nav li:hover ul ul, #nav li.sfhover ul ul {

left: -999em;
}

#nav li:hover ul, #nav li li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul, #nav li li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */

left: auto;
}
</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

sfHover = function() {
var sfEls = document.getElementById("nav").getElementsByTagName("LI");
for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) {
	sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() {
		this.className+=" sfhover";
	}
	sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() {
		this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfhover\\b"), "");
	}
}
}
if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfHover);

</script>
