ANOTHER MENU TIP

Don't make your menus too long by adding lots of links...you may run into problems for those who are using a screen resoluton of 800x600. Using this resolution may cause your menu to be cut off at the bottom....or, to be more accurate...the bottom part of the menu will not be viewable.

While you can still adjust the menu's position , some of you may have menus with lots of links...and even after adjusting the menu's position, find that some of these links aren't viewable.

Still...there are other ways around the problem...
  1. Go to dynamicdrive.com and find the link to the Omni Slide Menu in "Menus and Navigation". There you will find the menu scripts you need to place this side menu at the top of your page (like some of us have already done...including "yours truly". The coding is basically the same as putting the menu on the left or right. Just follow their directions.
  2. Use two columns, instead of one...to make your menu(s) shorter.
  3. Use smaller text.
If need be...refer to the "Properties" page for variables to tweak your menu(s).

I hope you find these tips useful...

Don't forget to "Mark as Installed" if you are using this menu...also, please take a few seconds to "Rate" this mod...

Remember...support is only being offered to those who have it installed.
