Comment on Flash Without Flash: Elegant Menu Fly-out by Matt

Is it possible to have the links along the bottom instead of the top so when you mouseover the list of links popup instead of dropdown?

Marc,

I’m sure it’s possible, but like you said, it would required some hacking. What I would do is create a new variable in the Menu object that stores the active menu. Then I’d change the mouseenter and mouseleave events to check if the new variable contains an element, and if it does, fade in on mouseleave and fade out on mouseenter (if the active element and the current element aren’t the same, of course).

Hi Chris,

thx for this great plugin! One question: Would it be possible to add an “active” parameter to the script for leaving the active menu open? I try to dscribe what I mean:

Your solution is fine for the homepage of a website, but when browsing the site I`d like to see the menu open in which content I am in. And then, when hovering the other main menu entries the active menu should fade out and fade back in again when leaving the other menu. Also the active menu shouldn`t fade out when leaving it. I tried to hack the script, but with no success…

Thx in advance!

Size does matter, but a library should be rich, should contain a lot of powerful functions.

What Mootools needs is something like this.

Hey Francis,

The demo was messed up when you looked at it. It has nothing to do with your browser or anything. Thanks for alerting me.

Brilliant! This has been bugging me for awhile. I was actually using utf-8 and it was still causing me problems. Removed the whole meta tag and everything works fine now.

Comment on JavaScript Library Addiction by Olivier

Hi, my name is olivier and I also have an addiction to mootools, and recently I ran into the same problem for a small client site: ending with a 40kb file just to ajaxify a form. I had been using mootools for so long I didn’t even remember how to make an ajax request.
I took a look at the source on jibberbook.com, and the addEvent function is great.
However, in the event function, i think that if you make it return false at the end, it will stop the event, no need to check for preventDefault or returnValue

Edward, it wasn’t your fault at all. It was my update process.
