DropDown Menu

[LostAngel]

Hello, I downloaded a dropdown menu from pscode.com. Everything works fine, except at 800x600 resolution the horizontal menu isn't aligned. You can change the LEFT value in config.js. I was wondering, how could I have it set a different value if the users resolution is 800x600?

Well...

<script type="text/javascript">
  <!--
    var ScreenResolution = screen.availHeight + "x" + screen.availWidth;
    if (ScreenResolution = "800x600"){
      // Do somehting here....
    }
  //-->
</script>

Cheers,

Thanks, one more question. If I were to set a tables Alignment to something depending on the Resolution, how would I do so?

Use the above code and then access the tables style attribute and then set its align attribute to the desired value

Or if you were refering to the left or right values you can access them in the same way

Of course, the thing breaks if the user has a larger resolution and doesn't use his browser at full-screen. You might want to query the browser window size instead.

Thanks guys, hopefully this will be my last question for awhile. I notice that the page looks great in firefox...but in IE, the menu is missaligned. The following is the code I have for changing alignment based on resolution:

if (window.screen.width < 1024) {
LEFT=110;
}
if (window.screen.width > 1020) {
LEFT=250;
}

I know that navigator.appName returns your browser name, how can I have it detect if the browser is IE, if it's IE have it set the LEFT var based on resolution. And if it's Netscape, have it set LEFT var based on the resolution?

[sciguyryan]

This will detect IE....

var Browser = navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase();
if (Browser.search(/msie\s(\d+(\.?\d)*)/) != -1){
  // Yes this is IE...
}

It might be Opera. It disguises as IE by default.

Object tests are more effective. I believe that this code truly identifies IE, and only IE:

if(typeof(window.ActiveXObject) == "function")

Indeed that does only work with IE as only IE used ActiveX technology

I have never seen that one before - good job
