Css Flyout Categories Menu troubles

[DrByte]

Just have one question about the posiblity of putting all the code genrated by this into a .js file. I have a long list of links generated by this flyout menu and it is adding a lot (and i mean a lot) of code to the page. This is causing the relevant part of my page down more that 47Kb from the tope of the page.
....
Anyone have any idea if it would work to put this all in a .js file so that it will reduce my page size by 40-50KB and allow my real content to be closer to the top of the hmtl page when spidered by Google, Yahoo etc.]

It's producing raw HTML code. Thus, a .js file is inappropriate.

If you wanted to get creative, you could try working on a way to use some advanced CSS techniques to position the code where you want it, but have the code appear in the browser much lower in the source.

You could also rearrange your page...

Ok, I'm having a somewhat minor issue with this as well.

I'm also using tabbedproducts lite and the issue is the css menu places under the tabbedproducts lite thus the flyout is part hidden under the tabbed display.

Any clues on this?

Having the same problem, was there a solution to this problem?

its a download on the first few pages.

Changed z-index: 1 to z-index: 1000 for priority over the tabbed lite pics.

G'day,

Has anyone worked out how to get this great sidebar to show the count of the number of products in the categories?

Also, has anone worked out how to get this sidebar to not display a category / sub-category if there are no products in the category / sub-category?

I tried to work out how to achieve these changes, but it would seem to be more complicated than my current level of understanding of Zen Cart and PHP would allow.

Best Regards, Lloyd Borrett.

G'day,

I'm trying to get the CSS Flyout Category Menu mod to work with a new store I'm building using Zen Cart v1.3.5, see http://www.scubadoctor.com.au/diveshop/. However I'm getting some CSS browser compatibility issues. I thought I knew my way around CSS pretty well, but I'm totally stumped as to how to fix them.

With FF 1.5.0.7, the following sidebox jams up against the categoriescss sidebox. That is, the .leftBoxContainer margin-top:1em attribute just doesn't seem to work.

Also with FF 1.5.0.7, a part of the box border goes missing at the top.

Neither of these problems show up in IE6.

But IE6 has its own problems. The width of the first level category items goes outside of the box border. This has a flow on effect in that some of the second level menu get covered by the first level, plus the whole sidebox is slightly wider than it should be.

Any help with the above problems would be much appreciated.

Best Regards, Lloyd Borrett.

G'day,

I've finally managed to fix both my IE6 and FF related problems.

Taking out float:left; from div#nav-cat fixed the FF problems.

Adjusting the width of div#nav-cat li a, seems to have fixed the IE6 problem.

Best Regards, Lloyd Borrett.

G'day,

Just when I thought I had this sidebox addition sorted, I've struck another browser compatibility problem.

The flyout menus are going under the "Filter results by" manufacturer dropdown box when viewed in IE6. FF is working fine.

See http://www.scubadoctor.com.au/divesh...index&cPath=67 for an example of the problem.

I thought it would be a simple case of adding appropriate z-index values in the right places. But so far I've tried a lot of places and values and not had any success.

I'd be most grateful if anyone has a solution, or can point me in the right direction.

Best Regards, Lloyd Borrett.
