[jQuery] Re: Another jdMenu problem... IE specific...
Hi Jonathan,
thank you again for the new version. It works nice, but I encountered
a small bug and a missing feature;
Bug (or feature):
You can´t click parent menulinks because in line 100 (in the binding
function) you return false;
I commented out this line, so it works fine for me now.
Maybe this could be an option, but i think users should be able to
click on the parent links!
Missing feature: Vertical Menus via parameters
I had to modify your script to get it working with vertical menus.
Changed line 33 from elementPos: 0 to elementPos: 2;
It would be nice if this is an parameter for jdmenu( {elemPos: x})

Hi Chris,
Just wanted to give you a heads up, I've released jdMenu 1.4.0
athttp://jdsharp.us/jQuery/plugins/jdMenu/1.4.0(though I haven't posted
notice of this yet) It's been updated to work with jQuery 1.2.2 and the
latest dimensions plugin.
Cheers,

find where the HTML is getting messed up.
Thanks heaps!

Hi Chris,
Sorry, I was looking in Firefox. I see now that the problem exists in IE
only. It might have something to do with the fact that the page is running
in quirks mode and that the markup is invalid. Try running it through an
HTML validator (
e.g.http://validator.w3.org/)http://validator.w3.org/%29.
In particular, you have two extra DOCTYPE declarations throughout the
page.
And if you want to stick with HTML 4.01 transitional, replace this ...
!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN
with this ...
!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd;
If cleaning up the HTML doesn't help, we can look at some other stuff.
In the meantime, I'll poke around the plugin code and the stylesheets a
bit
to see how the positioning is being done.

the ones that do have images. I'm still waiting on my graphic artist guy

all
the css if you have the Web Developer extension for FF.

I'm guessing that the sub-menus are using position:absolute for their
positioning, so you'll need to have a parent element given
position:relative
in order for the submenus to be positioned relative to those parent
elements
rather than the body element.
Hope that helps.

Hi folks.
I'm having another problem with the jdMenu plug-in. In IE when I
hover over the top-level menu the sub-menu appears in the absolute
top left
of the view-port! Bah! I don't know what I've done wrong. I've used
jdMenu
at another client of mine, and it works great in both FF and IE. This
time
around however, I *am* customizing the css file quite a bit to better
suit
my needs.
The problem can be seen herehttp://seidal.com/dev/furniturehotspot/

This is causing me much aggravation, and more time at this one
particular client that I should really be spending.
I would *really* appreciate anyone's help on this problem. Of

what
I'm going through, or can offer suggestions, that'd be great.

Karl, I ran the site through the validator you linked to (thanks for that), but my problem still remains. I should note that there are still 43 errors, but they're things like No ALT specified and there is no attribute X The errors that are bothering me most right now are: 1. cannot generate system identifier for general entity osCsid 2. general entity osCsid not defined and no default entity. 3. reference to entity osCsid for which no system identifier could be generated. I don't know how to fix these. osCommerce dynamically generates the code that this is complaining about. I notice now that I'm getting a javascript error in IE: Object does not support this property or method unfortunately, as has been seen no such error manifests itself in FF. I've been given two hours to fix this, and I've only got an hour left. What a pia... Anyway, if anyone can help me out. I'd love the help. I'll of course keep working on it from my end.

[jQuery] Re: Another jdMenu problem... IE specific...
Hi Chris, I think the issue exists in that you're using jQuery 1.2.1 and the latest dimensions plugin which have changed since the 1.3 version. The biggest issues are $(window).innerHeight()/Width() aren't valid. I'm finishing up the 1.4 release which will be updated for latest jQuery releases.

You said it was positioning correctly for you? What version of IE was that in? For me, in IE6 it shows up in the top left (0,0) of the view port... it's supposed to show just below the top-level menu choice. Also, I know there are broken images.

[jQuery] Re: Another jdMenu problem... IE specific...
Chris, I don't have time to dig into looking at your code right now, but I had a similar problem with jdMenu when the top level menu item did not have an A tag inside of it, due to how jdMenu handled either event binding or event bubbling. If I remember correctly, IE threw because a property was not present that jdMenu expected to have been bound to. I can rummage through our old code later tonight and look for diffs if that doesn't get you anywhere. - Jack Chris Jordan wrote: Hi folks. I'm having another problem with the jdMenu plug-in.

Thanks Jack! I'm trying to fit troubleshooting this IE problem in with working on other parts of this particular menu project, and I may not get a chance to try out your suggestion tonight, but I appreciate your effort, and would love to know if you find anything. Also, when I get a chance to try out your suggestion, I'll report back my results.

[jQuery] Re: Another jdMenu problem... IE specific...
Hi Chris, Sorry, I was looking in Firefox. I see now that the problem exists in IE only. It might have something to do with the fact that the page is running in quirks mode and that the markup is invalid. Try running it through an HTML validator (e.g. http://validator.w3.org/). In particular, you have two extra DOCTYPE declarations throughout the page. And if you want to stick with HTML 4.01 transitional, replace this ... !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN with this ... !DOCTYPE html PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd; If cleaning up the HTML doesn't help, we can look at some other stuff. In the meantime, I'll poke around the plugin code and the stylesheets a bit to see how the positioning is being done. --Karl _ Karl Swedberg www.englishrules.com www.learningjquery.com On Jan 21, 2008, at 4:08 PM, Chris Jordan wrote: You said it was positioning correctly for you?
