Topic: Problem with css menu system

Hi again, been a long time

This thread started here http://www.ozoneasylum.com/25896 but i thought it to be better to change it to this forum.

I don?t know if reisio is around to read this, so ill make it a general request for help.

Here is the page that reisio coded:

http://reisio.com/temp/demat/

And here are the files, with the code formatted and easier to read
http://www.animanet.net/inu/demat/telademat/

These are problems that appeared when viewing the page in firefox

1: when you scroll down with the mouse wheel without clicking anywhere the whole page is scrolled down:

2: when you click on the left menu, and then use the mouse wheel to scroll, only the left menu actually scrolls up and down:

I read reisios css code. I was confused by all the

*
html

and

*
html
body

and similar

and still don't understand their purpose.

I came with this as what made the menu system work:

.esquerdo {
	padding: 0 0 2000px 0;
}


#leftmenu {
	height: 150%;
	left: 0;
	overflow: hidden;
	position: absolute;
	top: 0;
	width: 155px;
}

Being .esquerdo all the possible <ul> with a large bottom padding, and those are all inside <div id=leftmenu > - i understand the reason for some of the parameters in the #leftmenu class, but not all of them.

Above every <ul> there's an anchored div that is called by the horizontal menu.

Currently i'm only interested in putting that menu into a design of my own, so i'm only interested in the trick that makes that work.

as you can see in this unfinished but more or less presentable version, there is still some tampering to be done, namely with z-index, to make the bottom links work. Apart from that there are some obvious problems that didn?t occur in reisios design:

- the anchors, that make the menu work, are being called and the page is scrolled down when using the menu;

- there is some blank page added at the bottom of the page probably because the way the menu works.

These two problems are probably derived because of the way i reduced the menu's code to that above.

The other serious problem is the second problem i referred on reisios design. The leftmenu is "scrollable".

[quick_post] * html anything is a CSS filter, check Dithered.com : CSS Filters - CSS-only filters summary to see which browsers apply that rule. [/quick_post]

Here's a more simplified version of the menu mechanism:

Do you have the 'All-in-One Gestures' extension installed?

Will get back to this later.

nice =)
