Since the code come with a lot MS function, it best view at IE6/IE5, also IE4. In Mozilla/Netscape6 it's no visualized function but menu will full opend. Dose not support Netscape4 yet cause I don't have one.

Hmm... neat but it doesn't look well on Netscape 7.

It'll be much better if it's cross-browser though...

Works fine on IE 6.0.2800 but it appears statit on Opera 6.05.

I thought I had found the perfect menu but I need a cross compatible menu.

Great looking menu BTW.

Sorry guys. Since NS7 is much slower
than MSIE on render pages, so I can't
make menu effect smoothly in Netscape
browser.

If you could help on this, I will appreciate it.

is it possible that in i.e. 5.5 and 5.0 appear static?
In i.e. 6.0 very well!
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

 
2/12/2003 9:32:23 PMcool4best

it is possible to do that.
first open menu.htm in html editor
second replace "if(!browser.isIE5up || browser.isIE55) return false;"
with
"if(!browser.isIE6up) return false;"

done!

excellent menu. I noticed that you use a preloader for your images particulary the bacground images for title_bg_hide.gif etc. for some reason this does not seem to be helping. while displaying from the hard drive the menu works perfectly from a webserver it experiences a delay in the background image displaying, usually just from mouse over. That is when rolling the mouse over the menu headings the background image disappears to reappear a bit latter. Any ideas?

good menu, but static in many brosers like Netscape 7. probably a DOM thing.

Very Good!
Nice look and feel

May I use this piece of code in my commercial product?

If the answer is YES, I´ll refer to the GNU Licence but, Who is the owner?

Thanks,
HEB

I did 80% change, so the owner should be me now. You say you want use it on commercial product, my point is OK; But from the first day this product comes out, it with GUN GPL licence, I have nothing to do with the licence.

If you like it and want to use it on your commercial site, you must make some change on this menu, at least make other hard to think it was mine, then you won't have any problem.

Cool Menu. But in a Web Server, when I put mouse over the header of a menu, it seems like reloads the images from the server, and it is causing a delay in the menu. Any idea?.
This is the same problem than the one submited on 2/23/2003 8:55:01 AM:

Is it easy to modify so the menu drops over content rather than forcing it to move down with the menu?
