Hi, all.
I'm still trying to work out a drop-down div
for my horizontal menu.
I've tried various approaches and the closest I've
been able to come to the proper animation so far
(which still isn't correct) is with this code
(written in long-form for now and just
for the first two menu items):
$(document).ready(function() {
$('.menu-details').hide();
$('#a-index').mouseover(function() {
var answer = $('#menu-details-index');
if (answer.is(':not visible'))
answer.slideDown();
$('#a-index').mouseout(function() {
var answer = $('#menu-details-index');
if (answer.is(':visible'))
answer.slideUp();
$('#a-buyers').mouseover(function() {
var answer = $('#menu-details-buyers');
if (answer.is(':not visible'))
answer.slideDown();
$('#a-buyers').mouseout(function() {
var answer = $('#menu-details-buyers');
if (answer.is(':visible'))
answer.slideUp();
})
});
});
});
});
You can see the results of my efforts so far at http://c21ar.wsm-dev.com.
The problems I'm trying to overcome:
- the 'drop-down div' works only if the first menu item "Home" is mouse-over
first
- once the div drops, and I mouse-off the link, the div closes...of course I
need it to stay open
unless I mouse-off the link or the corresponding drop-down div
- after I mouse-over the first two links quite a few times, even slowly, I get
an alert error
that states "Stack overflow at line: 1" What does that mean and can this be
overcome or is
my 'drop-down div' menu inherently flawed? I have to refresh the page to get
the menu working
again
- lastly, but my significantly, I've got to figure out a way to have the system
realize what
content should be displayed in the drop-down div based on the menu link that
is moused-over
Would someone care to show me some code that would help with any of these
problems?
If this is going to take someone too much time to help out "vacuus persolvo",
I'm willing to
purchase something off a wish-list or even to pay for some hand-holding.
The problem I face is time... I'm working on a fairly extensive Real Estate
site and I need to
get past this piece of the puzzle. If I can't solve it soon, I'll just have to
go to a regular
drop-down menu, which I'd rather avoid.
I just haven't come far enough with jQuery to code this myself...it's too
complex for me at this
point.
Thanks!
Rick
