Superfish - problems with 'current' and with navbar style
I tried the superfish examples on Joel Birch's site (
http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch) as I was looking
for a navbar style similar but simpler than one of my homegrown ones (www.northcountyrugby.com) . Plus I wanted to get rid of frames from this site - therefore a general cleanup.
Unfortunately I've run into problems with the 'current' item and with the navbar style.
When not using superfish-navbar.css but with pathClass: 'current' (i.e. just standard) the effect is that after selecting an item in a dropdown (and setting its class to 'current'), if I hover over another top level item and get a popup for it, but click away from it - the popup for the selected item appears and won't go away!
Next:
When I use the navbar style and select an item at the end of a longer list (say item 5 of 5) - the selected item correctly shows on the horizontal 2nd line, but when I hover over a top level item with only 2 items - the horizontal dropdown appears over the top of the previously selected horizontal bar. It does not clear the horizontal bar first.
I.e. it looks like this
<- ----------------------------First line items here
| ITEM1 | ITEM2 | ITEM3 | ITEM4
| { ITEM 5} | <------------ horizontal 2nd line items here
| ITEM BBB | ITEM CCCC | <----------------------hover items appear over top of the above line
The effect is:
| ITEM BBB | ITEM CCCC | EM3 | ITEM4 | { ITEM 5} |
Is this understandable? The fix would be to make the horizontal dropdown list the maximum size of any other so that the current items are hidden by it.
Anyone seen these issues and have fixes for them? I'm using FF and IE 8 and have taken the examples directly from
Joel Birch's site.
