I'm having a few issues with the menu bar.

1) When the sub menu drops down, it does so behind flash objects such as embedded YouTube videos.

2) I would like to add a sub-sub menu.

What is the site?


1.-Weird, need to see it.

2.-You can't do that from artisteer at this moment. You need to customize beyond it (that means directly into your code)

Just add 2 things to a flash code to make the drop downs appear over it.

Add following

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
OR
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">

next to one of the other param tags and also add wmode="transparent" in the embed tag.

<embed src="http://www.yoursite.com/flash-address" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="300" wmode="transparent">

Do you know how I could customize my code to allow for sub-sub menus?

You must either change the Blogger template and either replace the widget for the sub-menu with your own HTML code (you proceed in the same way as with a standard HTML template produced by Artisteer) or you change the javascript function artDisplayTopMenu() in order to allow for more sub-menu levels. I just finished writing the first part of an article in french about this second option, you can find here:

The english translation and the two others parts should be soon finished but you don't need them. All you need is the source code for the revised function that you'll find at the end of the first part.

Thanks Merliny.

I'll try to cook up some more articles on this subject of subitems in the next days (weeks?); so if you have any suggestion, recommendation or commentary, I'll be glad to hear from them.

This is a new blog, be the first to post a commentary!

I am havinig another question about the menu bar. How can I make a menubar where the Home button links to another Blog?

I am planning on 3 Blogs

A - Main blog
B - Contest blog
C- Gallery blog

I want the menu to always point with the Home button to the main blog. How can I do this?

Thanks in advance

Marjolein

@Marjolein: this option is not available in the Artisteer program, so this would require making direct change to the HTML template itself.

The procedure that I've described for the menu in the part 2 already solves that problem because the whole sequence - including the Home link - is reinserted.

If you only want to change the Home button's link, the whole thing can be made simpler; however, you'll still have to do some change to the HTML template.

A second problem is also the question of the link behind the blog's Title; as the title is also a link targetting the home page. For a job well done, this should also be modified.

These two changes can be made. However, they'll get erased the next time you republish your theme; so you'll have to reinsert them each time. This is standard problem when you start customizing your template.

I'll try to take a deeper look at this in the following days in order to have my facts straight.

Best,
Sylvain
