JSCOOK menu problems

jmayer · 10.05.2004, 23:36

There's a style sheet where all the JSCOOK css is located. I can change the background color etc. However, I cannot change the font size or color for some reason. I know how to use css, but it's like something is overriding it.

any suggestions?

Hmm... did you edit the correct CSS file? If you are looking at changing the default themeOffice style, its at /includes/js/themeoffice/theme.css

Make sure you change the correct selector/class/id too.

It's not so much that I can't see ANY results, it's that I can't get the results i want. Look at this:

When you hover over the submenu items, they go from bold to normal. I can't remedy this. I have "font-weight: bold;" in EVERY selector in that css file....just to be sure.

I can't remove the border from around the whole menu, and it can't be done in the template css file either.

Look at that url in Netscape, two of the jscook menu items is bold and 5 are normal.

What the hell is going on here?

Would someone mind helping me with this? Did I post my question in the wrong manner?

thanks,

All I can say is it is an absolute ******* to try get the css styling to work correctly with JSCook.

I'd help, but I kinda gave up.

Here is another annoying bug (for me anyway).

If you have the module display vertically, in IE you cant change the color of the hover text, yet it works in Firefox.
Even wierder, go back to horizontal mode and works no problems.

Then if you try to have two jscook menus (using my module) on a page (showing different menus), IE cant hack it and stops showing the dropdown submenus, of course it works in firefox

So I'm working to find another menu script I can put into a module that is easier to style and isnt as buggy, oh and did I mention the script is not fullx-browser compliant. A few browsers like safari (I think) wont show the submenus

Arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Maybe this can help

In your main css file change TABLE.moduletable TD font-weight to bold,
like this:

Code:

TABLE.moduletable TD {
FONT-WEIGHT: bold; 
FONT-SIZE: 10px; 
FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif
}

and here is your theme.css without black box

I have the same problem with JSCOOK menu.
The color of the font of the main menu can't be changed.
So I downloaded ThemeMiniBlack from JSCOOK website (color; white, background; black). Nor Opera, Firefox or IE shows me a white fontcolor.
The only thing I see is a black blackgroundcolor and black fontcolor. Thus one black square.

I haven't changed any css after downloading. The only thing I did was changing mod_display_menu-jscook.php so the ThemeMiniBlack could be seen after adding the right parameters in the module config.

case "black":
$theme = "ThemeMiniBlack";
break;

Can anyone help me out.

I finally figured out this JScook CSS file. I have attached theme.css and you will see that I broke up some of the clustered headers and gave them individual parameters. I also added some comments that will make it easier to edit.

to see this in action, go to http://demo.advancedlegal.com

and if you haven't done so, I suggest downloading Pixie, http://www.download.com/Pixie/3000-2...ml?tag=lst-0-1

it definatley helps when you need to figure out color-codes.

Thanks a lot for posting that CSS for the menu, jmayer!!! I know CSS fairly well, but like Stingrey said, that JSCook CSS isn't anything fun to work with. I cleaned up the CSS you posted just a bit a made some modification of the colors to make them more generic for others to have more CSS options.

Just trying to help out...

Thanks again!!
