css menu update

Saturday, October 14th, 2006

I've worked out most of the kinks in this css menu below.  You can see an example of it here. It now works in Internet Explorer.  I've tested for IE 6, 7, and 5.5.  Opera works fine except there's a weird flicker on the hover that I have to work out.  Camino and Firefox work great.  Netscape adds some horizontal scroll bars that I need to figure out how to get rid of.  Safari, well, safari just crashes when it hits the page which I have yet to figure out why.  Hopefully I will soon.

There's another way of doing this as well.  I took a drop-line menu from Stu Nichol's excellent CSS Play site and altered it to work as a flyup menu. Click here to see it in action.  The original menu at CSS play can be found here .  Unfortunately, for the project I was working on, the above code from CSS Play could not be used because the CMS I was working with did not allow for the insertion of the extra table elements necessary for IE to work properly.  I had already hacked out my version before I discovered the one at CSS Play.  

css menu

Friday, September 15th, 2006

I've been working on a new type of css menu. Basically, it's a drop down menu, except the submenu shows up above the main area as a bar.  To really get an idea of what I'm talking about, take a look at the demo page.  It currently works in Firefox 1.5 (PC and Mac), Opera 9, Safari (still debugging this a bit).  IE has a way to go before it's completely operational. I also need to figure out some backward compatibility with Firefox 1.0 and Opera 8.

Just some pics of a new WordPress admin design I've been working on.  Not a complete step away from the norm, but I thought it would be fun to do soemething just a little bit different.
