Support Case Month: March 2013

Dear Kostas,

Is it possible in the sliding menu or any menu to make one menu item a different color?

For example: if you look at my sliding menu, the last item says "Go back to top of the page" could that item have a black background, and on mouse over turn gray?

I want the "Go back to the top of the page" to be more noticeable? so it catches your eye and not blend in so much.

If I change things it changes the entire menu?

Can I just change one Item?

Please let me know.

Thanks Again!
Robert

Hello Robert,

You can select this particular item, and "customize it" by changing the properties you like:

Hi,

I want to know if this is possible with your menu program.

I built a sliding menu. I placed it in a DIV. Then I linked the menu to many different anchors. When you click an item in the menu it goes to that item BUT the menu floats to the bottom of the page? I want the menu to stick at the selected anchor, so the menu is lined up, side by side with that item. Is this possible? and if yes, how do you set that up?

Also, the floating menu goes behind my main nav, and it also was made with your program. I read about the z_index but it says to leave it a 1000? How can I make it go over the nav?

Please let me know.

Thanks!
Robert

Dear Robert,

I am afraid there is no way to have the menu always appearing next to the anchor of what you clicked. Still, there is something you can do to make it look better in some cases.

Currently the menu always stays in the exact same place where you positioned it, relative to the browser window.

If you set the menu to be “Advanced Floating” then you can have it stick with the page until it reaches the top of the window and then float there until you reach the end of the page. Since when you call an anchor the page is automatically scrolled to put it at the top of the page, this will work in most cases. It will not work for the last part of the page that never reaches the top of the window. So this will give you a partial solution to the problem. Also note however that this requires that you purchase the Advanced Floating Add-in, so it is up to you to decide if it is worth the cost.

Regarding the z_index, where did you see that you “have to leave it at 1000”? You can change it as you wish! And if you want the floating menu to be on top, simply make its z_index bigger than the z_index of the other menu.

Initial Email Subject: Menu does not appear on preview pages
Support Case Month: February 2013

I use SiteSpinner Pro to build my webpages. I cannot get my menu to show up on my project pages in preview mode. Of course this should show me what my published page will look like.

If I "publish to disk" and compile to that page, then open the local page with "HTML Kit" everything looks fine, the menu is placed and operational. If I try to open the preview pages in the editor I get a script error popup that says "The value of the property 'awmBuildMenu' is null or undefined, not a function object."
If I try to compile to the preview page nothing happens.

What suggestions do you have to allow me to see a finished page before I move it to my website?

Thanks

Hello,

I am afraid that the preview of SiteSpinner (as well as that of most web builders) does not support complex JavaScript components.

In Dreamweaver or Expression Web there is an option of “live preview” (or “SuperPreview” or something like that in EW) which does fully support JavaScript. I do not know if SiteSpinner has a similar option, but if it does, then the menu should work there.

Initial Email From: Joe
Initial Email Subject: want to trigger a dropdown menu by mousing over an image
Support Case Month: February 2013

Hello:

Site is {URL REMOVED}

I hope the attachment demonstrates what I want to accomplish.

When hovering or clicking a column header or the image directly below it, we want the drop part of the menu to appear.

We want to add to the function of the menu to get the dropdown when either the column head or the image is moused over or clicked.

I can send the existing menu file, if needed.

Thanks for considering my question.

Regards,
Joe

Dear Joe,

I believe the best way to achieve this would be to actually have the image as part of the menu item. You can do this easily if you set the menu item as HTML and add your image normally.

Then you need to fix the submenu position here:
