Header Dropdown Menu - Nice! - how add Down Arrows ?

[DogTags]

Thanks for this contrib. It's something that I've needed for ages, great!

One thing I'd like to add are Down Arrows in top menu items that also contain sub items.

If a top item contains sub items, then a down arrow is displayed. But, if a top item does not contain sub items, then a down arrow is not displayed.

Is there anyway to do this in the CSS ?

Thanks so much again

Sounds interesting - have you got a link to this? (Bearing in mind that the downloads section isn't yet searchable! )

Which contrib do you speak?

Are you referring to the horizontal menus feature integrated into the Apple Zen template contributed by jettrue?

Demo: http://www.zencart137.jadetrue.com/
Available at: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=449
Support thread: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=55822

Or is there actually a contribution/mod named "Header Dropdown Menu" that is available for download somewhere on Zen Cart support site? If so I cannot locate.

Either way thinking your inquiry will be best responded to if directed to the "Contributed Templates" board. But let us know what you find out

I'm also trying to address the IE6 and older browser issues.

Netscape 4 issue:
http://javascript.about.com/library/blsfmenu3.htm

IE6 and earlier issue (hover issue):
http://javascript.about.com/library/blsfmenu4.htm

How would this all fit into this? Where would the js go?

Thanks

I wasn't quite sure where to post this. Please feel free to move it

We posted at the same time. I swear before I posted I looked in the Templates download area and did not see the new mod!!! I suspect that an old page was caught in my broeser cache. Thanks for the pointer. Looks like a very useful contribution that I want to immediately play with ;wink2:

For displaying Down Arrows, here's something that I got from the Extended Menu module in Joomla:

ul.mainlevel-son-of-suckerfish-horizontal .expanded{
 background-image:url("../images/expanded_down.gif");
 background-position:right center;
 background-repeat:no-repeat;
 padding-right:10px;
}

Here's the joomla extended menu module location:

Here's the drop menu (without down arrows but otherwise totally nice):

Netscape 4 solution? but where would it go?:

<style media="screen">
@import url(sfmenu.css);
</style>

IE6 and earlier solution? but where would it go?:

// Enhanced Suckerfish menu
// refer to http://javascript.about.com/library/blsfmenu1.htm
// for more information
// you may copy this code but please keep the comments intact

// fix for IE hover
sfh = function() {var sfE = document.getElementById("nav").getElementsByTagName("li"); for (var i=sfE.length-1; i >= 0; i--) {sfE[i].onmouseover=function() { this.className+=" sfh"; }; sfE[i].onmouseout=function() { this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(" sfh\\b"), ""); }; }}; if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent("onload", sfh);

// fix for IE position:fixed bug
function posTop() {return typeof window.pageYOffset != 'undefined' ?  window.pageYOffset : document.documentElement && document.documentElement.scrollTop ? document.documentElement.scrollTop : document.body.scrollTop ? document.body.scrollTop : 0;} function moveit() {var y = posTop() + 'px';document.getElementById('nav').style.top = y;} window.onscroll = moveit;

Both solutions above provided on the About.com pages referenced also above
