HeirMenus Status Report
by David Joham on Friday 24/Aug/2001, @23:14

Since the time of that status update, I've done a lot more work on finding out what is really going wrong with the HeirMenus.

At the moment, there are two main issues with the menus. The first is (I think) a problem with the order in which Konqueror fires mouseover and mouseout events. I've logged a bug (30440) to address this. The second bug should be simple to fix. It addresses Konqueror not supporting cssfloat properly in JavaScript. This bug is 30086.

Hopefully, some kind C++ hacker will get to this before 2.2.1 and I'll see if that gets the menus going.

While getting the HeirMenus to work in Konqueror has been challenging to say the least, I have to admit I was rather bored during the 10 minutes or so it took me to get the JavaScript menu API at brothercake.com working. You can see the homepage of these menus at http://www.brothercake.com/dropdown/index.html. I've been in contact with the author and his next release will incorporate my changes (all three of them) into his code and Konqueror will be a supported platform! Kudo's to the Konqueror team. Short of a confused sniffer script, this code worked in Konqueror just about out of the box!
