That's great, thanks! I'm slowly starting to understand these hooks
and callback etc.
I have played around with it for a while, and finally changed the
onBeforeShow in sf.defaults. I couldn't get it to work with just using
your example, tried different locations of putting that code. This
works fine, for now:
sf.defaults = {
hoverClass : 'sfHover',
<--snip-->
onBeforeShow: function(){
// check window top of parent ul
var ulOffset=$(this).parent().parent().offset().top;
// check window offset of the parent li
var liOffset=$(this).parent().offset().top;
// adjust top position of sub by difference of offsets
(this).css("top",(ulOffset-liOffset))
},
onShow : function(){},
onHide : function(){}
};
I am curious where you think your example code should have gone. Is
that in the html file HEAD section? Or somewhere else? Because I'm
sure this is not the best way of handling it :-)
Thanks again!
