MX CSS Menus Forum :: One safari's bug and one question

Hi
I usually work under safari on osx.3.8 and i found a bug when i tried your CSS menu demo. The tab navigation is bugged on first loading. The sub layer is out of control from the top. Is it normal ?
I have a question too : is it possible to reinitialize position of the layers on the tab version after a mouse out (for example, i arrive on the product section. I rollover other section, and the tab stay on the last menu rollovered).
I'm really sorry for my poor english. Hope you'll understand what i mean ;-).
Thanx anyway for this extension.

Hello Bertrand,

Please explain what do you mean by "The tab navigation is bugged on first loading". Are you referring to the fact that the submenu bar is displayed at a lower position while page is loading?

Regarding your question - this is just how tabular menus are designed to work. If the last selection is not kept, you won't be able to select an option from the submenu bar! This is because the submenu bar is aligned to the left, so in order to select a sub-option for a main menu category that is placed somewhere to the right, you will inevitably do a "mouse out" operation. I hope you understand what I mean.

Hi,

thanx for your answer.
- First, for safari's bug, that's exactly what imean. I didn't see that bug on mozilla's browsers.
- For the tab navigation, i'm sorry, i got a so poor english that it wasn't as clear as i thought. Let me explain : i'd like to have an option which can give a "come back" to the inititial position even if you rollover another menu. For example : when you load the page, you arrive on product section by default. If you rollover the "downloads" section, your menu stays on this position, it doesn't come back to "products" menu. Is it possible with MX CCS DM ?

Thanx anyway and sorry for this misunderstanding.

Regarding the Safari bug - this happens because the rendering is made rather slow. We cannot override this for the moment.

Regarding the tab navigation - I have just explained to you why the things work this way. The only solution would be to have the submenu bar centered on the currently selected tab from the main menu bar (this would require a custom solution). Otherwise, you won't be able to execute a submenu selection for a menu category from the right (like "Company"), because the left submenu would be gone!

Hi again,

sorry, i'm not sure we talk about the same thing : it doesn't concern the submenu but the menu itself.
When you load the product page, item "product" is highlighted, right ? When you rollover another item, the item concerned is normally highlighted. The thing is that i was wondering how the first item (in that case "product") could be highlighted again after a mouse out the tab nav.  Hope it's clearer now ;-).
Regarding Safari, the submenu bar is still displayed at a lower position after page is loaded. That's the bug (see the file uploaded in my post) i've noticed.

Thanx again and still sorry for that terrible english i have...

My God, Bertrand, I can't believe this :) I was looking at the "interakt_blue" skin and I could not see the issues you were talking about. You should have mentioned the skin that you are using.

Regarding the rollover selection - this is just about how the colors/images for the skin elements are defined. You are testing, for example the Menus using a skin that has the background color for high-lighted tabs set to brown and the one for current selection set to white. This is why you say that the current selection is not kept, but it is, just that it's not too obvious.

You can customize your skin settings as you wish - just read the documentation on "Create your own skin".

I will note down the issue with the rendering of submenu bar into our internal bug tracker. Thank you for pointing this to us.

I hope we are more clear on this aspect now :)

Ionut

Thanx a lot for your help and your patience ;-)
