SpoOf, when did you download your copy? Is that the old one, or did you delete all the hints, as the new one is "color coded" to make it easier for you to find your way around each level.

Ive played around with it to work with my template and looks like ive deleted the hints! Have i made it to complicated to implement the tasks i wish to achieve?

Thanks for your speedy reply.

Kind regards

Hi i have managed to solve it by playing around slightly more.

Thank you for your help :)

Kind regards.

Sorry Spoof......looks like you posted about the time I went to bed. Glad to hear you got it, though.

A couple of sites has recently had problems with their stylesheet_categories_menu.css either not loading correctly or not loading at all. So I tracked down and hopefully squished a bug.

The amended menu (CSS Flyout Menu 1.3.8a) has been submitted and should be available for download later.

In the mean time, if you need a copy you can pm me.

CSS Flyout Menu 1.3.8a is now available for download.

Is it possible to use this same flyout menu for the information sidebox as well? If so, how would I go about doing that???

Well, I don't know.....................what have you got in mind?

On the website I'm building - mybeatrice.com - I'm only using two sideboxes, the categories sidebox and the information sidebox. I would just like to get the information sidebox to match the category sidebox. So in other words I would like the links that are normally located under the Information sidebox (privacy policy, contact us, etc.) to flyout similar to the menu I've created for the categories.

O.k. I see where you're going..........and it is possible to create what you're wanting, even using the same CSS, throw away the categories list.....use some pieces here some pieces there, and you'll have it.............just gonna take quit a bit of modifying to get it, but yea.........it's possible.

Could this mod be modified to do something like on this site:

If you hover over the image that says "Click here to Shop by Category", a flyout menu appears with a listing of all categories.

Thanks!

That is a nice feature, isn't it? I guess anything's possible, but it would take a lot of work to make this menu do that.

hi i am using the css flyout menu for my zencart (1.3.8) and i love it but i am having an issue with it being behind the flash slideshow i have on the main page of my site http://www.dannaoshee.com it works great for firefox but don't you know it that its IE that is giving me the headache. Is there some sort of work around or something i can just add or change to make this stop?

Hmmm.....I'm not seeing this in IE 7 or 8, but it's usually due to the z-index being lower than something else on your site.....but, as the z-index for your flash is set to -5, while the menu's z-index is set to 1000, there should be no problems. Try raising the z-index to 2000 and see if that solves the problem.

You would do this in "includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/stylesheet_categories_menu.css

Have you cleared your browsers cache?
What version of IE are you seeing this in?

There are known problems with IE6 Internet Explorer 6 ?

The new version works well in firefox, chrome, ie8 but the flyout effect not working in ie6.

My website is at http://www.easytechnology.gr/index.php?main_page=index&language=en

Thank you very much :)

Well, as W3schools reports (March isn't in yet), IE6 users are a dying breed. Stats showed that IE6 users dropped from 10.2% in January down to 9.6% in February. And that's an 8.9% drop from January of 2009........so if they continue to drop at that rate, then nobody will be using IE6 by the end of this year........and if they're is..........then shame on them.......it's about time for them to upgrade. We shouldn't have to downgrade our programs, programs features, and have all the extra work of trying to make pages display properly in pretty much "ancient" programs when those people that are STILL using IE6 needs to quit living in the past and find the "Update" button!

O.K. I Got that out of my system (just a little "pet-peeve" of mine)...........and AM looking into it. Seems to work in IE6 locally, but not remotely.....hmmmmmm.

Is it possible to put sub categories on the flyout menu as top level? I have 2 main sub categories that basically split my products/services in 2.
At the moment the flyout is set up as:

Categories>
SubCat1>products a,b,c
SubCat2>Products x,y,z

Is is possible to have only:
SubCat1>products a,b,c
SubCat2>Products x,y,z

Thanks,

darren

Darren, the menu itself can't do that, but if you read the forums, It may be possible to do that. Ajeh would be the one to ask about that particular function.

For those of you wondering about the IE6 issue.................still nothing here. If anyone has a "fix" to this issue, then by all means, please post it. Thank you.
