MenuCSSPlaceHolderControl ---------------------------------------------------------- I have added a property called MenuCSSPlaceHolderControl which is set to SPMenuStyle. This allows the menu's CSS style to be inserted at the desired location within the <HEAD> tag. It is highly recommended that you place the following tag within the <HEAD> section. <style id="SPMenuStyle" runat="server"></style> Failure to do so will result in the menu placing its style at the very beginning of the output stream, which I believe is not valid in some browsers. ---------------------------------------------------------- Fixes ---------------------------------------------------------- - Fixed registering of systemscript so only sends down once - Fixed 1 pixel jump to right on entry of submenu, was due to the menu not having a border set. Now am checking this before applying left border on icon. - Fixed issue with border on root arrow - Fixed style issue for netscape 4 ---------------------------------------------------------- IE For the Mac ---------------------------------------------------------- Well what can I say? After many attempts at getting this to work in an uplevel fashion I have made some headway but not enough. I have determined that this is not going to hold up my release any longer, so for now the menu will render downlevel. On a positive note I have determined what was causing the css not to render properly (extra spaces in the class property). Unfortunately, I have not been able to resolve the positioning yet (you should only need to modify the spm_elementTop and spm_elementLeft functions in the .js file). I want to say thank you to everyone who has helped out with this issue, especially Davor and Erin.
