Pure CSS Mega Menu

[DivaVocals]

Changing the col_2a to col_2 fixes some, but not all of the 'jumps'. Somewhere in the stylesheet, there's a margin-right: 35px that's being added to the col_2 li's on hover.

Thanks for the hints.. got it all working as it should..

If you want to take a look and compare stylesheets, I recently made this manufacturers drop down into 6 columns ---shop by size/type:

Thanks,

And finally after making the fix above, I realized that the manufacturers needed to be displayed in 3 columns.. thanks to this post I now have the manufacturers in 3 columns.. Thanks Anne.. That site gave me the hints I needed..

NOW I can FINALLY stop messing with this menu.. WHEW!!!

Indeed Anne.. Indeed.. and I WISH I could say that this is done.. but unfortunately IE8 (which I grudgingly still have to care about) is not behaving.. the original issue I was having with the categories menu and the "jumping" in the second column when hovering over links is still there in IE8.. I have been ALL THROUGH the mega menu stylesheet and the site stylesheet and I cannot figure out where this is coming from... Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhh.. (did I mention how much I LOATHE IE8???)

Does anyone see what my tired eyes are missing.. Does anyone CARE about IE8????? (that last part is a rhetorical question)

Hi, I am getting extremely frustrated as I'm not a programmer and apparently over my head. I did a manual install of 1.5.1 using ZC install and about 15 various add-ons. Each add-on was tested after install and worked. onlinewinesale.com is the site under construction. This is my host info:

Server OS: Linux 2.6.32-20130307.60.9.bh6.x86_64 Database: MySQL 5.5.30
HTTP Server: Apache
PHP Version: 5.3.23 (Zend: 2.3.0) PHP Safe Mode: Off

All was going well until I installed mega-menu or so I thought. I have many sub-categories in a few categories and I'm not even done entering them. The columns for the sub's go beyond the bottom of the page and I can't scroll down. Should you be able to just keep on moving the mouse down and the column would grow longer? If not, is there a way to break these long columns up into multiple side-by-side columns? I seem to need something similar to what Aussie Sapphire did which was referenced in post #142.

To make matters worse, I use Firefox and I also just realized that there's a huge formating problem with IE9. I don't know when or what happened and need to troubleshoot that. I've switched to the default Zencart Classic template and get the same results so I don't believe that it's the result of all the changes that I've made to the Avignon template that I'm using. I'm hoping to find the problem in a css file somewhere as I've made changes to all of them. So, if you look at the site, please use Chrome or Firefox which seem to display everything properly. Any assistance would be appreciated.

If you read this support thread you will see posts from others who have split up the categories menu.

The css cross browser problem is not related to the mega menu module.

Hi Anne, I have this menu through the london grunge template. i was wondering if anyone had had success with adding a sidebox to the dropdown menu? I was trying to add one (that i modded myself, DVD studios) similar to record companies; i pretty much just copied the code for manufacturers on tpl_mega_menu and changed the calling key to studios_ . It correctly lists the studios i entered, but it doesn't map them properly to the items i have connected to those studios, which the sidebox i made does. I was wondering if there is some coding for manufacturers that wouldn't match studios (or record companies, the included extra) or something. This is my site (some adult content): http://kingsdist.com/devdummy/

anyone? I'm essentially trying to make a drop down for "record companies". is this possible?

I may be having deja vu, but I believe that this was asked and discussed earlier in the thread ;)


Thanks,
