I have add Superfish Menu jquery plugin on a page. What I want to do, is to make it scroll up on mouse over and not scroll down as most menus do. Something like Windows start button. Any idea?
Superfish’s default options:
$.fn.superfish.defaults = {
popUpSelector: 'ul,.sf-mega', // selector within menu context to define the submenu element to be revealed
hoverClass: 'sfHover', // the class applied to hovered list items
pathClass: 'overideThisToUse', // the class you have applied to list items that lead to the current page
pathLevels: 1, // the number of levels of submenus that remain open or are restored using pathClass
delay: 800, // the delay in milliseconds that the mouse can remain outside a submenu without it closing
animation: {opacity:'show'}, // an object equivalent to first parameter of jQuery’s .animate() method. Used to animate the submenu open
animationOut: {opacity:'hide'}, // an object equivalent to first parameter of jQuery’s .animate() method Used to animate the submenu closed
speed: 'normal', // speed of the opening animation. Equivalent to second parameter of jQuery’s .animate() method
speedOut: 'fast', // speed of the closing animation. Equivalent to second parameter of jQuery’s .animate() method
cssArrows: true, // set to false if you want to remove the CSS-based arrow triangles
disableHI: false, // set to true to disable hoverIntent detection
onInit: $.noop, // callback function fires once Superfish is initialised – 'this' is the containing ul
onBeforeShow: $.noop, // callback function fires just before reveal animation begins – 'this' is the ul about to open
onShow: $.noop, // callback function fires once reveal animation completed – 'this' is the opened ul
onBeforeHide: $.noop, // callback function fires just before closing animation – 'this' is the ul about to close
onHide: $.noop, // callback function fires after a submenu has closed – 'this' is the ul that just closed
onIdle: $.noop, // callback function fires when the 'current' submenu is restored (if using pathClass functionality)
onDestroy: $.noop // callback function fires after the 'destroy' method is called on the menu container
};
JSFiddlle example here.
So the answer goes like this, from the link mentioned in the comment:
You create a plug and play style where you don't interfere with the core js functionality. So the first thing you have to do is:
You have to create a new copy of the current superfish.css
change the following:
.sf-menu ul {
position: absolute;
bottom: -999em;
width: 10em; /* left offset of submenus need to match (see below) */
}
remove this:
.sf-menu ul ul {
top: 0;
left: 100%;
}
add these:
.sf-menu li:hover ul,
.sf-menu li.sfHover ul {
left: 0;
bottom: 0.0em; /* match top ul list item height */
z-index: 99;
}
ul.sf-menu li:hover li ul,
ul.sf-menu li.sfHover li ul {
bottom: -999em;
}
ul.sf-menu li li:hover ul,
ul.sf-menu li li.sfHover ul {
bottom:-20%; left:100%;
}
ul.sf-menu li li:hover li ul,
ul.UP li li.sfHover li ul {
top: -999em;
}
ul.sf-menu li li li:hover ul,
ul.sf-menu li li li.sfHover ul {
left: 10em; /* match ul width */
top: 0;
}
Make your html menu look like this. Notice you are creating a div, this will act as a new place holder for your first menu item because the css styling changes made in steps 1-3 has configured the menu for 2 and onward (notice the climer and icon_image_sml class, this will be used in step 5 for adding in color and unifying the look with the rest of the menu):
<ul class="sf-menu" id="example">
<li style='background:transparent;'>
<div id="climber"><div class="icon_image_sml"></div></div>
<a href="followed.html">menu item 1</a>
<ul>
<li>
(..<and so forth>..)
</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
Make a new css style sheet and add the following (this does styling to first menu item):
.icon_image_sml {
display:block;
}
#climber {
width:40px;
border-right:1px solid #777;
height:28px;
position:absolute;
left:0px;
top:0px;
background-color:#A3B5E5;
}
#ie #climber {
top:-12px;
}
If you know more about css styling, feel free to make any necessary changes to the parameters above to fit how your menu looks.
