Re: CF 8.0.1 Update and CFMENU

[Andy Chen]

Oh... a new issue:

One of the fixes to remove the upper border line of the VERITCAL CFMENU will 
also remove the ability. Those dividing lines are 
now gone if you remove the top border width from the CSS below.

This part has been modified in the YUI.CSS 

..yuimenu ul {

list-style-type:none;
border:solid 1px #c4c4be;
border-width:1px 0 0 0;
margin:0;
padding:4px 0;

}

Just want to make sure the next update has these fixes done. 

Thanks.

Re: CF 8.0.1 Update and CFMENU

[Andy Chen]

This sucks. I would expect that they would have tested these new YUI updates 
before releasing it as an official CF update. There was a decent amount of 
changes done to the YUI.CSS (it is actually SMALLER then in the original 
release) and I think someone at Adobe didn't fully test it. 

For the mystery underline (even after modifying YUI.CSS.

This is the normal reference


I found it that it is the CFMENU's SELECTEDITEMCOLOR parameter which triggers 
the extra CSS tag.

It will add this:
#hmenu .yuimenuitem a.selected 
{background-color:#ff;text-decoration:underline;color:#fff;}


Too bad there is no parameter for text formating (the background color is based 
on the selected item color). Add in MENUSTYLE = "text-decoration:none;" doesn't 
do anything.

I am using IE6.

I think CFGRID also got modified (since EXT seems to be updated). Some of the 
tutorials on the web on extending the CFGRID function won't work properly 
anymore (e.g. drop down list).

GRRR. :(

Re: CF 8.0.1 Update and CFMENU

[Andy Chen]

Wow... I must have clicked on post instead of reply. Here's the thread I am 
talking about:

http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:55996

Examining the yui.css file it looks like there are lots of new features added 
and the CSS is actually trimmed down from the original yui.css on CF 8.0 
release. I wonder if that could be a cause of all these problems.

Re: CF 8.0.1 Update and CFMENU

[Andy Chen]

I am experiencing similar problems with the CF 8.0.1 update. When doing the 
update, it messed up a few of my CFMENUs (the thick upper menu bar, the active 
underline text, and messed up submenus). I think the YUI.CSS modification 
should fix some issues but...

How did you solve the problem of the submenu indicator being rendered below the 
menu item? (in my case it was render ON the menu text)

This kind of sucks because now I need to go through an almost released product 
to fix up changes caused by this update.

Subject: CF 8.0.1 Update and CFMENU

Has anyone experience trouble with CFMENU since the 8.0.1 Updater?  I've
noticed a few of things:
 
1)  The submenu indicator arrow appears beneath the display text in a
vertical menu in Internet Explorer. 

- Setting the menu width appropriately should solve this problem for you. I
am however not able to repro this one. May be you can give me some more
inputs.

> Try viewing http://lw1dbserver1.listingware.com in IE and then another
browser.  The vertical menu on the left side has the submenu indicators
underneath the text.  A horizontal menu in a similar site is rendering
properly.
 
2)  There seems to be an improperly nested DIV that causes a thick top
border in vertical format. 

- We did a YUI upgrade in CF 8.0.1 because of which there have been small
little UI changes. This is one of them. 
I am not too sure if I have understood you perfectly, but I also see a
border added which can be removed.Under the
/CFIDE/scripts/ajax/resources/yui/yui.css file, the line border-width (as
shown below) has to be changed to "border-width:0 0 0 0;"  

...yuimenu ul {

list-style-type:none;
border:solid 1px #c4c4be;
border-width:1px 0 0 0;
margin:0;
padding:4px 0;

}

If this is not the one you are talking about then could you please explain
it again so that I can give you a workaround.
 
> This did fix the issue.

3)  The TYPE attribute for 'vertical' or 'horizontal' MUST be lowercase
-
'Vertical/Horizontal' or 'VERTICAL/HORIZONTAL' cause it to render incorrect.
-Agreed. I will log a bug for this one.

> OK, thanks.  I can live without images until fixed.
 
4)  If I use an image in a top-level CFMENUITEM, it will also try to display
that same image as part of a group of child CFMENUITEMs, so that if there
are 5 child items, a single image of the parent menu item will display once
for all 5 items.  (It's obviously not supposed to be there, because as you
mouseover the child menu items, the mouseover color appears over the
image.) 

- This one is a known bug. I guess we have documented it.
 
5)  An underline now appears for the active menu item.  The behavior of
having a mouseover color for the active menu item is desired, and I supposed
I could live with the underline, but I'd rather not. 

- This again is because of the YUI upgrade. The workaround is as follows.

The css change is required to correct the underline issue

Under the /CFIDE/scripts/ajax/resources/yui/yui.css file, the line
"text-decoration" has to be taken off 

...yuimenuitem a.selected,
...yuimenubaritem a.selected {

background-color:#AADEFF;
text-decoration:underline;
color:#fff;

}

> I did this, but it's still a problem.  If you View Source on that same web
site, you see the statement where the YUI CSS file is included, then
directly after it is a new STYLE statement that had never been there before.
That seems to be where the underline is coming from.  I found that if I took
all attributes except type="vertical" out of the CFMENU declaration, the new
STYLE element went away and so did the underline.  However, the submenu
indicator issue from above still exists.

 
There could be others, but I was SO bummed!  The update fixed a couple of
things that were a problem, but introduced other issues!  I might be able to
solve a couple of these by tinkering with the YUI CSS, but a couple are
clearly beyond that.
 
One thing that DOES seem to be fixed is the odd behavior you got on a
horizontal menu, where it would be rendered vertically (mostly in IE) to
begin with, then resolve to horizontal - it was a weird and distracting
behavior, but seems OK now.
