Dynamic Drive - Fold-out external menu on the left side · **Released**: 09-24-2006

Background:

This is an implementation of Dynamic Drive's Fold-out external menu. I have been using it on my site for a few days and I have not had any errors.

I am not comfortable with uploading the code from the author here so I will refer to the author's website for the code information through this process.

[S]IMPORTANT NOTE!

This code does not seem to work with Firefox browsers. Because I like this, I have decided that I am going to continue using by creating a "Child Style" of my main style called "Side Menu" so members can chose to use it if their browser can handle it or not if they can't...[/S]

NOTE - This error looks to be because of the four lines I indicated that need to be deleted as below (SEE IMPORTANT NOTE)

Installing this on your site

Open Style Manager >> ALL Style Options (Steps 1 and 2 are both done there)

Below "Additional CSS Definitions" add Code from:

"Step 1: Insert the following code into the <head> section of your page:"

IMPORTANT NOTE! You do not need the:

PHP Code:


			
<style>

<!--

or

PHP Code:


			
-->

</style>

(Including those 4-lines will cause an error!)

Inside "header" section, above the first line of code, add code listed under:

"Step 2: Insert the following into the <body> section of your page, right after the <body> tag itself:"

Make a Menu File!

I have uploaded my very simple file as an example!

DEMO

NOTE: I had this on one of my sites and it really did work... I had to trun off the style with this hack however as I had this under one of my development styles and another hack I am working with was causing errors to trickle down...

I will see if I can install this on another of my sites when I get a chance so there is a demo of this in use...

Enjoy!

You would have to be able to write java and recode that second script... (step 2 script)

Sorry, but I had to turn off the demo on my board while I am working on another project. I will try to install this on one of my other forums tonight so people can see what it looks like.

This really does work...

Quarterbore - it does work, in Opera IE 7 & Firefox on XP anyway!

But have to say I think you need to alter your instructions a little bit, they are rather confusing.

I have it running on my forums if anyone wants to see, I haven't done much with it, it's still pretty basic, I just need to figure out the link coloring I mentioned earlire. And it works for me using Firefox.

Another thing I would add is.

Could we make it go up and down as the page is scrolled up/down?

Could we put vertical text on it?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
