    Looks like the new Manager won’t be here any time soon, so here’s my take on a more pleasant menu for the top horizontal menu layout.



    Change line 112 in manager/frames/1.php to

    	<frameset rows="0,20,45,*" frameborder="0" border="0">


    Replace manager/frames/l3menu.php, manager/media/style/l3navbar.css and manager/media/style/MODx/l3navbar.css (back them up first!) with the attached files.

    Feel free to play with the css file to suit your fancy.

        I have no idea. Never used them. It’s based on http://www.alistapart.com/articles/hybrid; the top-level items are visible, the second-level are only visible when you hover over their top-level parent.

            Nice Work Susan. Does it cross the frames OK? I would assume there’s no issues there. Assuming it does, I wouldn’t be opposed to making this the new default layout at all.

              It simply replaces the full-width frame used in layout 3. I’m eyeballing ways to actually get it up into the very top bar, but with that "working..." business in the left and the site name and who-knows-what-else in the right, I don’t see how it could fit.

              I see that I lost the "help" section...I’ll get that back in there and replace the attachment.

                Corrected version attached at first post.

                It should be working in IE as well, but I haven’t checked... undecided

                Oh, and the path to the l3navbar.css file in media/style needs to drop the extra ../, to ../images/misc.

                    oops...typos in the javascript in the head of the l3mnu.php file. Here’s the correct javascript:

                    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
                    function showWin() {
                    	window.open('../');
                    }
                    startList = function() }
                        if (document.all && document.getElementById) {
                        navRoot = document.getElementById("nav");
                        for (i=0; i<navRoot.childNodes.length; i++) {  
                            node = navRoot.childNodes[i];  
                            if (node.nodeName=="li") { 
                                node.onmouseover=function() {  
                                    this.className+=" over";    
                                }  node.onmouseout=function() 
                            }  this.className=this.className.replace (" over", "");   
                        } 
                    }  
                    
                    function stopIt() {
                    	top.scripter.stopWork();
                    }
                    window.onload=startList;
                    </script>
                    


                    Sorry about that. Works fine in IE 6/Win now.

                      Sorry Susan it’s still not working. There are some typos in the javascript and the hover feature is not working in IE.

                      I don’t think IE supports li:hover, correct?

                      Btw, it’s wrapping the top menus when displayes in 800x600 resolution
