coolMenu box WAY too big

[ChrisDJ]

I just added coolMenu to my site. It works well with one exception. The box that contains the menue is WAY too big.

 

You can see what I mean here: http://www.rbbdirect.com/catalog

 

Any ideas?

Another quick one: How do you kill the fade and just make the subcategories pop up?

[ChrisDJ]

Ok, so I have an idea...

 

In coolmenu.php there are these lines of code:

 

	$categories = tep_get_categories('');



$height.= 2.65*count($categories);

 

I believe these two lines of code set the height of the box. Additionally I believe that the code is counting main categories, and sub-categories, thus making the box too tall.

 

Does this sound like a probable cause? I'm not a complete programming novice, but I don't know PHP syntax so a little help on some code to fix this problem would be helpful.

 

Thanks!

Boy, I like talking to myself...

 

I've instituted a temporary fix. I manually set the height of the box. However, I would really like to find a solution to the problem so I don't have to manually change the box size every time I add a category.

I figured it all out. Nevermind my constant rambling. :?

Can you share what you discovered through your ramblings? Others may need the same information.

 

I think the box is still too tall, but the subcategories show up without the fade in.

To change the height I adjusted the multiplier in this snippet of code:

$height.= 2.65*count($categories);

from 2.65 to something smaller.

 

In my browser it fits just about perfect now. Can I ask what browser you're looking at it in?

 

 

To kill the fade I commented out these two lines of code:

 

oCMenu.level[0].filter="progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Fade(duration=0.8)"

and

oCMenu.level[' . $i . '].filter="progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Fade(duration=0.6)"

 

Both are in coolmenu.php

I use IE most of the time.
