Hi,
I'm not sure of the right solution, but I do not like the current
simplified navigation for the website. For me it feels more cumbersome
when navigating around the site. It has added an extra level of
indirection, and an extra mouse button click between the front page
and the content. However I agree what we had before wasn't very good
either. So I'm wondering if we could do something like:
1. Do something like the service mix website where the children of the
top level headers are bunched up together more closely. I think we
should be able to do this by updating the sites CSS.
2. Perhaps we could use a mouse over to expand the sub menu as you
mouse over the heading in the navigation.
I think the first option is probably easier than the second, but I do
think we should look getting the key subpages back into the main
navigation.
I spent some time yesterday experimenting with sub-menus in JavaScript
and with style sheets. I think that the easiest was to do it is with
modifications to the style sheet and some corresponding modifications to
the wiki layout. I didn't like the JavaScript solution was working out.
I have something on my local machine that creates a sub-menu on hover
which looks like this: http://imagebin.ca/view/qumyPsoz.html.
To get this I had to make changes to a local copy index.html - the next
step would be to make the corresponding changes on the the Wiki and
check that confluence exports something equivalent to my local changes.
If it does then I can check in a modified stylesheet that creates sub-menus.
wdyt?

What do you think?
