Re: [Trinidad] building dropdown menus using popup panels

[Renzo Tomaselli]

Thanks, Andrew. I was not asking about developing any new component - just wondering if described menu could be achieved using existing components as they are (e.g. hovering popupPanel plus a list of links/submenus). Js hacking for positioning is needed for sure - if we want nested submenus to appear on the right side - not a big issue though. Soon or later I will try it. -- Renzo Andrew Robinson wrote: No reason I can think of that it would not work, but there are VERY few developers on Trinidad that make new components or enhance existing ones. Most Trinidad work is on the framework and not the components unfortunately. So you can propose it, but it could be a very long time before anything gets implemented. Heck, look how many UIX style renderers still exist On 6/4/08, Renzo Tomaselli <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Hi, till now I used the component t:jscookmenu from Tomahawk, since it seems the only drop-down menu available around. However it adds a number of spread files in a page - while not supporting disabled items. In theory Trinidad should have all is needed to build such menus - although a straight component is missing. I mean popupPanel (hovering mode) + navigationPane (list hint) + PPR. This way the action of hovering on any item would open a new, lower-level popupPanel through PPR, according to any hierarchical menu model. It's likely that some position fixing through js is needed to properly show panels aside. Did anybody try this combination or is there any reason why it shouldn't work ? Thanks -- Renzo
