[Meta]Drop Down Menus on News Site

[Michael Morris]

Well, with Russ' permission I've installed the drop down menus on the main site. My head is sore and the wall is dented. They are working properly on IE and Netscape. If anyone has a comment or a major issue with them please post it here. They're up for a trial basis at the moment - if there's a huge problem they can be pulled.

The only problems I see from a quick look at the page are that the dropdown bar is currently sitting onto of the click through ad on the upper right hand corner of the page, and the EN logo on the upper left hand corner is sitting on top of the text that says "D&D/d20 news and reviews site"

ALso, the page is now cream colored instead of black. I assume that is intentional. Its a bit easier to read, but all the icons are still sitting in black boxes, which makes them look funny.

I'm looking at the page in both IE and Mozilla Firebird, and it looks the same in both.

Could the colour be matched to the background so it doesn't look so distinct?

I didn't change the color settings, and there was text there?? (checks source) There is no text there. Anyway, I can't help unless I know the SPECIFIC VERSION of the browser you are running.

It looks good to me on IE 6.0.2800

Very nice, like the curve at the left hand side.

Part of the point of the bar is to make sure it stands away from the rest of the page. On the Dusk site I changed it to dark blue because the page is black - And on the ENPublishing test page I changed it to dark red. I want the bar to be visible.

They're sweet, and work perfectly for me. Very nice job.

Can we get them at the top of the boards?

 

[Michael Morris]

Thanks PC, Jason. I'm going to wait and see before trying to bring the code onto the message boards. I expect it to be *quite* tricky - WotC hasn't figured it out.

Works great for me and hopefully will save me some clicking, I like it.
