Hey Joel, I am posting this here as you request on your support page. Quick disclaimer: my knowledge of javascript is very little :)
I am about to switch my sites navigation over to the very excellent Superfish. I've slightly modified it to add the arrow graphic myself before javascript (for those without). A quick test page: http://nationalcitypd.com/super/example.html I am having the following issue. Heres hoping I can describe it (its very visually obvious). While in a submenu, the parent menu(s) retain their hover state (new bg, new text color, no arrow.) When you mouse away from the menu, Superfish (nicely) keeps it open for the delay period. However, this is where the problem is. While Superfish keeps it open, however, it retains only part of its hover state (keeps the new bg, loses new text color and no arrow). I know this is likely because I am adding the text color on the <a> and not the <li>. However I have no idea how to achieve the desired effect. Additionally, in internet explorer the shadow is not added until the completion of the opacity animation. Is this a bug or by design? Any plans on implementing any background animation? I've tried to implement the fade and other examples here: http://snook.ca/technical/jquery-bg/ But it and Superfish don't want to play together. I'd simply like my hover image to fade in and out. Any help is appreciated for a javascript newbie. I've tried working around it with CSS alone but can't make it happen. Thanks! Some bonus bugs/issues for anybody with insight or a work around: 1. Google Chrome Opacity Bug Try opening the example in Google Chrome. Yikes! The shadow PNG is displayed as solid white while the opacity is anything but 1. Can't really subject 2% of visitors to that.... 2. Firefox (3.0.5 win, havent tested other) weird font issue Try opening the submenus. The final "m" in "menu item" doesn't paint until the end of the animation (only when using opacity animation). This only happens if I use arial or helvetica! I know I can change my font, but I'd rather not.... Thanks again to everyone who works on Jquery. I haven't worked in webdesign for many years now, but learning Jquery has me up at night excited and tinkering :) - Cody
