wow, u guys overwhelm me ;-). I sent this message before starting for work, and when i reach my desk i have such a pleasant surprise... Thanks guys...
Now, lemme answer some of your concerns... @Stephan - I am sure u know what !important is. If your question is, why i have commented that out, then, it is because, the original mootools author chose to use images as menu items instead of text for some reason. Since he used images, he had to hack IE 6 with gif versions of the images. So, he had the !important hacks in place. But, since i figured it is cleaner and easier to use text rather than images there, i didnt need those hacks, so i just commented them out. ;-) Also, the backout easing effect is causing the bubble to move out of the target sometimes... I experimented with other easing effects, and it looks cool for most of them. I chose to display "backout" as my first effect because that is the same as what mootools version uses and that will give you apples and apples to compare and comment. @Brandon - Thanks a ton... <<blushing>> @Mike - Thanks @Andy - I am using the hoverIntent plugin, that is probably causing the delay, but as of now i dont have a choice because, if i directly use hover, then the effect will be spoilt. For example, if you move your mouse all the way across from the first menu item to the last menu item and then back, you will notice a long animation that slowly passes over one menu item after another although your intent was not to hover over the interim menu items. This can at present be solved with interface's animation library. I will try that next. The good news is, once jquery 1.2 comes out, i wont need interface plugin as well, coz John has promised a method to stop animations for jquery 1.2 @Rick - Yes, you are right... You will find lot of documentation when this little thing progresses into a plugin. I really have an eye for documentation. Take a look at my jCarouselLite<http://gmarwaha.com/jquery/jcarousellite/index.php>and u will know what i am mean ;-) jus kidding... @Rajesh - See comments for @Andy above. I guess that should address your concern. Thanks again guys... Based on the reponse it seems that it is worth making this into a real plugin... I will start doing that... -GTG On 8/14/07, Stephan Beal <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > On Aug 14, 5:31 pm, "Ganeshji Marwaha" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have ported this fancy menu over from mootools to jquery.
