[css-d] Line Height IE7 problem with PVII TMM

2009-01-07 Thread Jo
I did ask this question over at the PVII forum, but I haven't heard back, so
I thought I'd ask in here.

http://www.waterfrontvenuesnewcastle.com.au/new/

I'm just having my first ever run at using TreeMenu Magic (I've used many of

the other products) and I have one issue.

The first 5 items all have sub-menus. In Firefox, Google Chrome and Safari 
for Windows, the spacing between all 7 top level menu items is the same (as 
it should be). In IE7, the first 4 have a larger gap underneath. I have no 
idea why and I'm assuming since IE7 wasn't even thought of when this was 
designed that there was a tweak out there to fix it. I looked on the website

but couldn't find it.

I would also like to know where in the css I change the line height so all 
the top level menu items have a larger space between them. (I know how to 
set line height - line-height: 200%; I just don't know where in the css it 
should go.

Thanks
Joanne

Hi Joanne--

I just want to second what Virgil said here. I actually downloaded your 
page and set about translating the P7M div-heavy code into a more 
semantic assembly, but I got winded. ;)

The P7M menus on your page use obtrusive, inline event handlers and an 
antiquated div based source. I would strongly suggest getting away from 
any kind of product like that. It's just doesn't fit in today's internet.

If you'd like some help re-writing the menu into a more semantic, less 
obtrusive setup, please let me know off-list and I'll be happy to help 
with some HTML, CSS and JS re-coding for you.

Cheers,
Bill

hi,

for gaps in between, i noticed that all with sub levels has big gap
try removing all line-height and font-size settings and see if it
would remove uneven gaps.

#p7TMnav div -- for top level
#p7TMnav div div -- for sub level

when you set top level div, it would also set sub level
so be sure to set sub level preferred line height

consider using lists instead of divs for menus.

good luck.

Thanks for the offer Bill, but we've been around since 1998 and have a very 
good handle on things. I can't disagree with your underlying points, but it 
does work :-)

Tree Menu Magic (original release 2001) will soon be upgraded to a more 
modern codebase. Prototype here:
http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/tmm2/folders/

We are a fairly large operation and have to work by a schedule. All things 
in good time ;-)
Appreciate your comments, though.

Add display: block to the root a selector #p7TMnav div a. To control box 
height, edit the padding declarations on the .p7plusmark, .p7minusmark, 
.p7defmark rules.

Hi again, Al! I wasn't offering to supply code to P7. I know you guys 
have been around forever and I know how arduous updating projects can be.

We've exchanged emails before; I hope you know I wasn't trying to 
disparage your work. From our previous exchanges, I know you agree about 
semantic code.

Good luck on the new version -- it looks great.

Best,
Bill
