Hi All!!

I was wondering if there was a way to start the menu scrolling when the first link gets to the top of the page and then start scrolling with the window. I have it fixed right now where i want it, but some my pages are long and i would like to to follow the visitor down the page with home position of the menu being set where I currently have it.Not using frames using Actinic v8.

See the "pop_extras.js" file shipped with the script download from this site, there's a plugin to do just that :).

Hi Angus,

I got the menu anchored as explained in the help Syntax document. The only thing is that the submenus seem to be overlapping and not coming out from the side like before the menu was anchored.

startMenu(menuname, true, 'window.page.elmPos("home").x','window.page.elmPos("home").y + 147', breadth, style, frame, show);

The elmPos only need to be on the root menu, the others should keep their normal positions/offsets :).

Good luck - Angus.

As I said above, the startMenu('root'....); line should have those positions in it. All other menus should have plain old numerical offsets as they do in the demo script.

Good luck - Angus.

Hi Angus,
In norcascade_pop_data.js the star tmenu is

startMenu('root', true, 'window.page.elmPos("home")'.x,'window.page.elmPos("home").y + 20', breadth, style, frame, show);

The menu dissapears and only one menu object is shown actually one submenu. This over-rides these variables below? Do i need subM in the parameters above maybe??

var firstorientation = true;
var firstleft = -370;
var firsttop = 320;
var firstbreadth = 150;
var firstcharsize = 150;
var firstautowidth = false;
var firsthpadding = 0;
var firststyle = Level1
var firstframe = '';
var firstshow = false;
var secondorientation = true;
var secondleft = 147;

Thanks!!

Regards, Bob

OK, i am at a loss here.
The menu works fine, as long it is not anchored. I never added items to the menu, per say, norcascade.js i believe does this when i add a new subsection to actinic.

Please explain what i am doing wrong here. the line in post 3 is in norcascade pop.data.js. I tried fiddling around naming it root where menuname is, but still no luck.

From a brief look at the script it seems that positioning is built into the actinic integration code. All you should need to do is set the "targetloc" variable in the script to the name of the <a id="name_goes_here" name=" id="name_goes_here"></a> element in the document, and it should work OK from there!

Hi Angus,

Thanks!!!!! It Worked!!!!!!!!!

Do you know of a fix for Opera?? It is too high, but it is anchored though.
Best regards,

Hmm, that's annoying :(. With the standard script you can mix and match positions and anchors for the X and Y positions, often it helps to only use an anchor for the Y position. Otherwise, try finding where it builds the position string and adding this:

+ (isOp ? 10 : 0)

after it within the string, which will add 10px to Opera browsers only.
