Troubles with _subOffsetTop and _subOffsetLeft
Poster: dagon
Dated: Thursday August 21 2003 - 14:35:18 BST
Problem: on menuv5rc5 the properties _subOffsetLeft and _subOffsetTop don't work, not even in the examples in your site!!! Browsing with Opera 7.11, MS Explorer 6 and Mozilla 1.4 on WinXP...

Dagon, more details of exactly what is going wrong are needed ("don't work" doesn't help us at all). Also, a URL is most helpful so we can see the problem and your code.
BTW, your Avatar is coming up as "X" (not found). You might want to try reloading it to the Forum.

Sorry, you are right! But actually I've not an url (I am testing offline) and I am poor in english. By the way, I'll try to explain me.
Here is my code:
Code:
_menuCloseDelay=500 // The time delay for menus to remain visible on mouse out
_menuOpenDelay=150 // The time delay before menus open on mouse over
_subOffsetTop=10 // Sub menu top offset
_subOffsetLeft=-10 // Sub menu left offset
_scrollAmount=3 // Only needed for Netscape 4.x
_scrollDelay=20 // Only needed for Netcsape 4.x

The menu appears to me with no offset of the submenus, neither left or top...

Everything appears to be in order as far as I can see with a quick scan of your code. _SubOffset is how far from the upper right corner of a menuitem the child should render. So 0,0 would make it appear right off the upper corner of the item, if you add say 30 to the left, it should appear farther out to the right..try that and see. Also, try turning off followscroll to see if that affects it. Let us know what happens.

Don't worry about your English - you're doing just fine.
Quick tip - if you're not using a particular item in your code and have it commented out (//itemwidth=60), you can remove the entire line from your code. This makes it easier to read, and, in some cases, might even let it load a bit faster.
Glad to hear its all set.
