Reading this has inspired me to update the bgiframe plugin. I'm going to have an options hash that can be passed in. The options will be:
* offsetTop: auto || specific value * offsetLeft: auto || specific value * width: auto || specific value * height: auto || specific value * zIndex: -1 || specific value * tabIndex: -1 || specific value * src: 'javascript:false;' || specific value * className: 'bgiframe' || specific value The offsetTop and offsetLeft are automatically calculated as the border's width and height (depending on top or left). If you pass in a value for the offsetTop and offsetLeft, then the expressions used to calculate borders will not be included. Same applies for the width and height options. This will make the plugin more reusable across other plugins and sites. So instead of commenting out the expressions, you could just manually set and offsetTop and offsetLeft values for your particular situation. Feature/enhancement requests? Hopefully I can have something ready today but that depends on work. :) -- Brandon Aaron On 3/13/07, Joel Birch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 13/03/2007, at 4:43 PM, John W wrote: > > This is a very nice implementation of the suckerfish menu with > > jquery.
