Short Description
An updated smaller and faster vertical menu script for IE4 and IE5.

Long Description
An updated version of the original vertical menu script. The vertical menu script is based on our original Menu Toolkit.

This updated script is smaller, more efficient and easier to use. In addition, this script fixes the positioning problems that appeared in IE5.

I want to use this vertical menu in a left-frame but the menu is hidden / slides under the other frame .. how do I get it to display the menu over the main frame ?

Please advise

Fantastic, have changed the style-sheet and all.

Has anyone added a mouse-over event to the page on which the menu resides, to close any open menu item. This is the only annoying thing that I have found, that the open menu doesnt close when the cursor leaves the menu.

It would be extremely helpful if you included definations for the elements in your style sheets.  I'm having trouble modifying them to make the colors look how I want.  Please help!

I haven't tried this but add an onmouseover, onmouseout, and onclick event handler to the element surrounding the "|". In the event handler go event.cancelBubble=true. This should prevent the event handler from reaching the highlight code .

I take it that no one actually reads and responds to these questions and comments???

I like this menu system. Simple, attractive and customizable. However ... I want to add small vertical bars between menu elements  "  |  "  without having them highlight or respond to mouseovers. Shoving them into the table gives them the property of a menu item. How do I stop this from happening ... or do I have to dig around in the MenuJS code?

Does anybody have backend database solution for building this menus for both IE and Netscape.

Thanks!

I'm looking for a similar version of horizontal DHTML Menu (compact, more efficient, fixing IE5 positioning problem). Is it easy enough to build it on the similar lines or am I better off using Menu Toolkit ?

If you're looking for the best cross-platform menu solution, take a look at http://webreference.com/dhtml/hiermenus/. It works cross-platform but is slower in rendering the menus and doesn't have dynamic sizing.  On the State of Washington site, they will continue to use DHTML menus for IE and hiermenus for Netscape.  We build the menu data with ASP, so it's not too much extra pain to build two versions once the initial coding is done.

Even after reading the updated version and seeing it in action at the Washington Access site (http://access.wa.gov) -- it is apparent that there is NO VERSION for NETSCAPE. For those of us who prefer to write once for the dynamic duo, this solution just won't do.

IE5 changes how offsetParent works. I will look into updating this script.

Problems with IE5

Somebody has tried the Vertical Menu with IE5?

Do you know how to fix it?
