Hi Chris,
Let's dive right in...
1) Glad it's being of use!
2) I'm not sure I can replicate this. The behavior (should be) as
follows: user mouses over menu item, a short delay and the menu
displays OR user clicks menu item and immediately menu displays. Can
you provide an example somewhere?
This actually works as expected. I know there's a delay in opening a
top-level menu item unless you click on the item to open the sub-menu
immediately. That works great.
My other thought is if you're referring to the user not being able to
click anywhere in the current list item to activate the menu. It
should take this into account but the only case where this doesn't
happen is when a width hasn't been applied and the user is using
Internet Explorer AND there's a sub menu. So... one work around is to
make your link tags display: block so they'll fill the entire LI tag
and solve his problem. The CSS would be similar to:
ul.jd_menu ul li a {
display: block;
}
This is exactly what I was referring to. I'll change the link tags to be
display:block.
3) This has been fixed in the latest 1.3.beta2. You can fix this in
the 1.2.1 version by doing something similar to:
ul.jd_menu a,
ul.jd_menu a:link,
ul.jd_menu a:visited,
ul.jd_menu a:active {
color: #your color;
}
See if 1.3.beta2 solves this for you.
I will indeed upgrade to the beta (any idea when you'll call it a stable
release?), and see if it fixes problem number three. :o)
Also, a behavior I hadn't remembered to tell you about (which might also
be fixed in the latests beta) is that by default you set the width of
each menu to a certain number of pixels (115px if memory serves). This
meant that when I had a menu option that exceeded this width, it would
just spill out over the side. I found a guy in the jQuery IRC channel
that suggested replacing that pixel width with a percent. He suggested
97% and so that's what I used. This worked brilliantly to fix the
problem... except for FF. It produced an interesting effect where in
when each time I hover over a menu item the width of the menu grows.
it's very strange.
Let me know if you need an example of that to see it in action.
Thanks heaps!
Chris

Jonathan,
First of all, thanks so much for the great plug-in! I'm using it
in my latest project, and it's really made an impression on my
client, and what they think about my work. So thanks for the
boost, there buddy! :o)
Secondly, I'm using the 1.2.1 version, but there's a behavior I
don't particularly dig, and I'm wondering if it's been "fixed" in
the newest version. I'm talking about the fact that in order to
activate a menu option, the user has to click on the text of the
menu.
I thought this was because I was using anchor tags for my menu
options so I switched to spans. No dice. This has been my
complaint about other menus before.
Thirdly, (and it's possible this is also fixed in the newest
version) if I *do* use anchor tags for my menu items, once an
option has been selected, it no longer changes the text color for
the hover. It takes on the visited color (I guess). I'm not a CSS
guru, and some of these things may seem basement, but for me it's
a bit more like trial and error. Sorry for that. I feel like it's
something I should have been able to fix in the css myself, but
just couldn't make it happen.
Any thoughts on these items? I read somewhere that the next
version is a complete rewrite, but I didn't see any of my concerns
addressed -- probably because they're only *my* concerns. :o)
Anyway, I hope to hear from you or anyone who knows about these
issues.
Thanks heaps!
Chris

Finally! After 15" of snow and moving into a house this past
weekend, I finally got beta2 out the door!
Thanks to all of your feedback and testing! A number of issues
have been fixed and we found a bug in the dimensions plugin (with
IE) that Brandon Aaron fixed promptly.
Changes:
- Menu supports absolute positioning
- Rewrote menu positining code
- jQuery 1.1.2 support
http://jdsharp.us/code/jQuery/plugins/jdMenu/1.3.beta2/
There's a beta2.zip which contains the code and demo for easier
downloading.
Please provide feedback and report any issues you may have.
Cheers,
-Jonathan
