DHTML menubuilder wizard/witch needed!

OK i have the javaapplet layer thing totally figured out now :content: But now for the menu :grin:

well technodreamer here is your big change for eternal fame :happy:

ok i’m working on the menubar for the new ld4all. I have it all worked out. But i cannot program it myself.

i have d/l about 13 different menubuilder progs and neither of them does what i want :neutral:

so… if anyone either knows a good free dhtml javascript menu maker please tell me where to find it.

or: maybe you can program it that would be utra cool. :cool:

what i need is:

horizontal menubar, relative centered position. Overlay possible with another menubar; uses images only with mouseover effects. And of course has to work in all dhtml capable browsers. :help:

That’s fairly easy. You’ll need to have the top image gif so it’ll have transparent parts.

Make both the images be in the same position:

<img … style=“position: absolute; left: 500; top: 600; z-index:2;”>
<img … style=“position: absolute; left: 500; top: 600; z-index:1;”>

…have you tried that? Method seems sound to me :smile:

Edit: I forgot z-index! Now in.

thanks r3m0t

yep, i already have the two images, and the top one is transparant.

only prob it cannot be absolute since it has to be centered in the screen.

and did i mention the bottom image is actually a java applet?.. :peek: so it doesn’t use the img tag but the tag…

it sits now in a table centered on the page.

Hmm… put them both in a

and change the style to “position: relative; left: 0px; top: 0px; z-index=?!?!?”

Then pray!

prayed as hard as i could but it sets them neatly below each other :neutral:

Actually… put them both in a

and use these:

div.f
{
position: relative;
top: 10px;
left: 10px;
z-index:2;
}
div.s
{
position: relative;
top: -10px;
left: 10px;
z-index:1;
}

put class=“f” on the top one and class=“s” on the second one.

Of course, the “top” for div.s has to be the height of div.f (i.e. the top image)

it did something, the top image disappeared, it still doesn’t work the way it should :cry:

they won’t show on top of each other… could it be that the java applet doesn’t allow images at top of it?

Possible. What’s this applet anyway?

Eek… pasQuale just ran off!

no i’m here

i tested it with two images but that doesn’t work either.

and i’ve seen it done somewhere but i cannot find that page anymore :angry:

:help:

thanks r3m0t for the help.

i give up for now, i hope someone can help me out.

i hate it when i have an idea and i cannot realize it :angry:

A little research brings about this unfortunate Google Groups posting:

(Click here for complete thread)

We all weep for pasQuale! :cry:

pasQuale, as I asked, what is the java applet? Maybe there’s an alternative :smile:.

Tell me anyway!

ah thanks atheist!

ok well… um… yeah. hmm no cool effect then on the new site :grin:

darn.

HELLO? Q! TELL ME! I’M GOING TO DIE!

Sorry. :cry:

i don’t want to spoil the surprise! maybe i can get it to work with a different applet which allows an image on top of it.

i know it can be done b/c i have seen it! (and as i said before i cannot find that page anymore but i won’t rest until i have it)

lol and maybe then i will throw it away b/c it takes up too many data to have an easily accessible page.

ah well we are still in the designing stage :content:

What, you want a menu? :smile: Don’t worry, I won’t tell. peers around the Lounge and speaks up I won’t tell!!

i’ve heard of putting jave applets over a window so if you hover a mouse over the image you get water effects and other similar things but never an image over the java applet.

if the applet coding is similar to the one from anfy then this link might be of interest.

WAHEY!!! it worked :cool_laugh:

:bounce:

now i’m happy

lol

oh this is gonna be so cool! :grin:

Thanks DM, you have almost read my mind :peek: i now have an applet which allows an overlay image, the one i had previously didn’t allow for that.

How did I miss this thread completely?! :eek:
