Hi

When I enable Nice Menus on a long menu (for example the default drupal Admin menu), and there is a large enough number of options, the menu (expanding right or left) drops below the bottom of the browser window. But there is no way to reach the lower options on the menu.

Allowing the menu to be scrolled, or positioning it higher so that it fits in the browser window, would be great solutions.

Thanks
Karl

You should be able to scroll your browser page to move it down. Other than that this isn't something I see dealing with in Nice Menus.

If the page in the browser is shorter than the menu you can't scroll down. In any case that solution is not great because you have to scroll the page before selecting the menu.

The solution would be for the menu to have a definite length shorter than the browser window. You'd only show a subset of the menu items that fit within that length. At the top/bottom depending on where the selection is in the list you have a special slim menu item that 'scrolls' the subset of items available up or down.

But if you don't feel you can address it I'll just have to deal :)

I like Nice Menus a lot :)

Yeah, I get what you are saying but you can't do any of that stuff in a CSS-only menu - that would be a JS only solution.

Hi

I have a vertical menu with flyouts. In order to help with this problem ( although not totally resolve it ) I wonder whether it is possible to make the flyout menu start at some point above the parent menu item, rather than immediately adjacent ? You can see a similar effect here : http://www.puremountains.com where the flyout is offset above the parent menu item. I know this is a Javascript example but wonder if a CSS solution could exist for Nice Menus ?

Great module.

Cheers
