Quote for a javascript menu development?

[paulbeckett]

Hi all

I have been trying to make a change to my left hand navigation functionality but have failed miserably. I think it is possible but just don’t have the knowledge.

Can anyone recommend a developer of Java menus that I can give me a quote to make the amendments I require?

I have included the original requirements here.

Kind regards

Paul

Hi Paul,

Have a look at my menus. I got them free from www.dynamicdrive.com who have a host of javascript menus you might be able to use. Its sound like you're looking for a two-tone operation - part click for options and part slide-out. You seem to have the click part working but the slide-out is causing you grief. The dynamic drive system allows you to define individual menus, so you could have several of these (as opposed to one big menu structure like me) and attach them to each of the options. (Does this make sense?)

Paul,

In your other thread you said "I do not want all of the subsections to appear - only selected ones".

It is possible to inhibit NorCascade from displaying certain top-level sections (and even add some custom links as well). There are posts about this on www.drillpine.biz/forums

Thanks ... and thanks for your description of my problem. I had been struggling to articulate it properly! Yes I am trying to get to a two-part operation:

Part 1 is working. This is a click to display options (links).

Part 2 (not working) is some of the options (not all) would be slide-out. The slide out would then display further options (links). You are using this part of the functionality on your menu - see "Card Games" on your left hand nav.

What I really want to do is exactly the same functionality as your menu, but it only appears once the user has clicked on a display menu button!

So it seems like I have to understand how to intergrate part 2 where-ever I need a slide-out OR use the same code as your menu (which addresses part 2) and then find out how to overlay part 1 on the top.

Kind regards

Hi Alan

Actually, can you confirm which menu you used?

I think I would like to try and build my menu using this one from www.dynamicdrive.com see if it possible to add the ability to hide and display it.

I do think I will get in a muddle with this so if there is anyone who can recommend a developer who I can pay/donate to I would still be interested!

Actually - I have found it: DHTML Menu v5.7

Thanks!

Hi All,

really sorry to open up an old thread but having tried to implement this dhtml menu I would like to ask....

How do you make this replace the menu on the left? I use the smart them in
V7 and it justs sits to the left of my current menu.

I have searched the forums but cannot find anything.

Thanks in advance

Matt

You have to comment-out (or remove) the Actinic code that causes the old menu to appear. If the new menu is DHTML, it probably has a parameter to set its physical position on the page

Thanks Alan, will look for that and comment it out. I found the parameters to position the menu but for nicety's sake want to remove the old menu.
