One or two sites
Hi, we put up a couple of sites recently – some of them are still in test phase:
http://spaintennisacademy.com/ (some more work to be done still)
http://tsmg.no/ (not finished yet)
http://solborg.fhs.no/ (this one is more mature and been up a while)
I would like to hear any comments on the tsmg.no site – there is a drop down menu on the top nav bar, and I have heard there may be some issues viewing it in Windows. We use Macs so any info would be helpful.
Also, anyone come across a good screen shots site?

Re: One or two sites
jstubbs,
spaintennisacademy – the Google ad seems too close to the search, also you could get rid of the border and make it blend with the site.
tsmg – drop down menu works fine on Firefox 2.0.0.1 and Opera 9.10, but doesn’t work on IE7.
solborg – nice integration of PunBB and PhotoPost.

Thanks for that Bert.
Spain Tennis – yes, have to get around to the Google Ads – I saw its too close and I will get round to that tonight.
TSMG – any ideas why IE7 does not work? I don’t know much about issues with this browser – do you have IE6 for Windows to check? Would appreciate it.
Solborg – its actually easy to integrate. I know you are working on your own integration of PunBB and TXP. PhotoPost used to be more difficult in the earlier versions, now its better.
Thanks for the feedback!

Thanks Colak. I tried it, but it only seems to use Linux? It seems great if you want to see the basic design, but no use to see drop down menus, of course ;-)
Any browser shots site that uses Windows that you know of?

IE6/Windows: dropdown doesn’t work. Fine in Opera 9.01 though.

Just checked it you are right… I remember about a year ago they had windows browsers too…

Bloody great. Does not work in IE6 or IE7. Are there some issues with either JavaScript or CSS drop downs that you know of?
Guess some googling is in order… :-(

Re: One or two sites
Looked into this drop down not working in IE and I can’t see what could be causing the problem. May I trouble someone to look at my code? I have checked the CSS is valid (it is according to Style Master) but not sure about the JavaScript, which is from Son of Suckerfish:
#nav, #nav ul { /* all lists */
padding: 5px 0;
margin: 0;
list-style: none;
line-height: 1;
}
#nav a {
display: block;
padding: 10px 0;
width: auto;
text-decoration: none;
}
#nav li { /* all list items */
float: left;
padding: 2px;
width: auto; /* width needed or else Opera goes nuts */
}
#nav li li { /* sub menu li */
width: 10em; /* width for submenu list */
}
#nav li ul { /* second-level lists */
position: absolute;
background: #ccc9c4;
width: 10em;
left: -999em; /* using left instead of display to hide menus because display: none isn’t read by screen readers */
}
#nav li:hover ul, #nav li.sfhover ul { /* lists nested under hovered list items */
left: auto;
background: #ccc9c4;
}
#nav li li a:hover, #nav li li.sfhover {
color: #fff;
}
<code>
<script type=“text/javascript”><!—//—><![CDATA[//><!—
sfHover = function() {
var sfEls = document.getElementById(“nav”).getElementsByTagName(“LI”);
for (var i=0; i<sfEls.length; i++) {
sfEls[i].onmouseover=function() {
this.className+=” sfhover”;
}
sfEls[i].onmouseout=function() {
this.className=this.className.replace(new RegExp(” sfhover\\b”), “”);
}
}
}
if (window.attachEvent) window.attachEvent(“onload”, sfHover);
//—><!]]></script>
</code>

Re: One or two sites
Just found this site:
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/drop_examples.html
Drop down menus using only CSS. Nice. Possibly an option to using JavaScript?

I came across a similar problem on the template I’m using for my wiki, the drop down menus didn’t work in IE6 but started working in IE7. The CSS uses a similar hover technique and the author pointed to this site that explained the issue and a workaround for IE.
