Menu and Float

[Joni_Töyrylä]

Dear readers,

I have a problem with DomMenu and Floating container.

Simple demonstration can be found at:
http://demo1.stonelake.fi/fi/index/.

Container, the parent of the Menu is a div that floats left. Dom menu
fails to function properly inside floating div - However, without float
the Menu works fine! Is this true that DOMMenu can not be used inside
floats or am i just making something wrong?

Thank you all for reading and Thank you Dan Allen for writing this very
good menu script!

Best wishes,
Joni Töyrylä

I took a look at the example and found that the source of the problem
is the domMenu_correctEdgeBleed method. The page height is being
pulled from the wrong variable, so the menu is attempting to draw
itself off the screen. You can grab a fixed version that I just
committed to SVN.

svn://www.codejanitor.com/home/cjsvn/trunk/domMenu

Unfortuantely, the improvements made to the comparable method in
dom-tooltip has not yet been ported to the dom-menu project, so it is
going through the same bugs.

Here is the diff:
