Collapsing Menu

Hi

I am working on V7 Business and have integrated Nortree.

All is working fine.

My only query is that, as the menu uses div's, when the page is minimised, the rest of the site collapses successfully, but the menu holds and position and doesn't collapse, the result is that it sticks out and looks awakward.

This would be a problem if users insist on view the site without browser window maximised.

Do you know of a fix to this?

Do you have a live site so I can see what's happening?

Hi, yep have emailed you URL and log on details (as password protected).

Also, is there a way of dropping the code into a (nav) table instead of it sourcing a javascript file?

Thanks

You have some pages (Product ones) using a centred & fixed width layout and other pages (Store Top) using a full width left aligned layout.

NorCascade can work with either but not both (the configuration parameters are common to all pages).

You can either use a centred menu with a negative X offset (for centred & fixed width layout). Or a left aligned one with a right offset (full width left aligned layout).

Hi Norman

Thanks for your help.

I am not completely sure what you mean, could you possibley elaborate?

I have now added fixed widths, but the menu still doesn't collapse. I know it should as have seen the menu work on other sites.

OK. Looking at http://www.surfline.external.smarte-commerce.co.uk/ I see you now have a centred fixed width layout. However you menu is bound to the left edge of the browser window.

To fix this, run the NorCascade configurator and check Center (near top left). This centres the menu on-screen.

Now adjust your Level1 / H Offset to be a negative value that will place the menu left of centre; e.g. try -200 and see what happens.

Please remember that this code is DonationWare (both to me and Angus Turmbull at TwinHelix).

I would like to replace the text arow, currently used to signify and sub section, with an image arrow

Code: Select all

.

Is this possible.

Any valid HTML will work there so just try an <img...> tag.

You'll need to manually FTP these images to your servers acatalog directory (or upload then via Actinic's Advanced / Additional Files).

Also keep a copy of these images in PreviewHTML so that they work OK on previews.

Menus probs still

Can you advise?

http://www.surfline.external.smarte-commerce.co.uk/ is now working as it should. Perhaps we have different interpretations of what "collapsing" means.

Hi

Sorry for confusing, when I mean collapsing I mean the nav stays with the rest of the site if the window is resized, which it doesn't. Would like to get this sorted as it looks ugly when the window is resized, apart from that the menu is absoloutely fanatastic!

It is possible (but complex) to anchor the menu to an HTML element. Read the TwinHelix documentation for how to to that.

The NorCascade program will allow you to set the Target parameter (main page near top left), but you'll have to get the rest from the documentation as I don't use this feature myself.
