distance between section titles

tudor / 2009-10-19 10:28:38   

hi.
i am almos ready with the site, just need a bit more customization tips.

how can i make the distance between the section titles to be as the text above (so no spacing in between)?

how can i have the scroll integrated on the left or right of the screen when the extended menu is larger then the page? now i have it on the side of the menu.

how can i ad a symbol to the tab bar in my browser?

how could i add a clock? on start page..

thank you.

here is my site.

ok...here we go...

best place to begin is the Useful Threads post - look for the links in red.

1. #menu ul li.section-title { margin: bottom; }

2. css and javascript - you really need to know what you are diong

3. call 'favicon' search google first then our forum for more info

4. search google for a script that can do this

#menu ul {
    list-style: none;
    margin: 0 0 12px 0;

Set it to 0 and see what's happening

thanks lemathieu.
works perfect.
on the subject of expanding menues...when i open the webpage for a short time (while the page loades) i see the menus expanded and only after they retract..do you know how to get rid of this...so when i open the page to have the expanded menues closed?
thanks a lot.
tudor.

Try this expandingMenus.js :

  1. /*¬†¬†¬†¬†Expanding Menus for Indexhibit
  2.  *¬†¬†¬†¬†¬†¬†¬†¬†uses jquery
  3.  *
  4.  */

$(document).ready(function()
{
// First we hide all exhibitis
$("#menu ul li.section-title").nextAll().hide();
// then the active exhibit is showed
$("#menu ul").each(function()
{
$(this).find("li.active").prevAll().nextAll().show();
});
// This is the toggle function
// first it hides all sections
$("#menu ul li.section-title").click(function()
{
$("#menu ul li.section-title").nextAll().hide(500).animate({easing:"linear"});
$(this).nextAll().show(500);
});
});

@ sakisan :

don't point "thenine" script without saying that users needs to upgrade their jquery and that they will loose some exhibition formats.

but it's great to help.
Merci monsieur.

hey guys..
so is there a solution for the expanding menus?
i am using ross cairns expanding menus. js...
what are the changes to be made?
thanks.
tudor.

Vaska A / 2009-10-19 18:15:56   

What changes do you want to be made? What problem are you having?

tudor / 2009-10-19 18:22:12   

the problem is this:
when just opened my webpage has initially for just a short time the expanded menus opened and then they close....
the same thing happens when i click to view an exhibit..the page changes, the menus are expanded and then they close...
i used ross cairns .js
so, i am wondering if this problem can be solved.
and if yes how?
thanks vaska.

The background image is holding things up - it's too big. Or, you are simply on a slow server. Actually, I bet it's your Twitter code that is slowing things down...

A workaround would be to force close the list parts earlier on in the page but this is a bit complicated as well.

tudor / 2009-10-19 18:54:51   

thanks vaska.
i guess its fine like this, i dont mind it very much.
i thought it was the background..but i saved them as low as possible..anyways its good enough for now.

Vaska A / 2009-10-19 19:31:51   

Yes, it's Twitter causing a kind of conflict. I'm guessing that it is preventing the DOM from being complete (ready) and Jquery is unable to fire until Twitter has done it's job.

I'm sure there is a solution...if you have a little skill with javascript.

tudor / 2009-10-20 08:35:42   

i have the will t fix it.
if it is possible and not to complex to be guided i am ready for it..but if its gonna be to messy i guess i can leave it..
thanks vaska.
