Ticket #44 (WontFix)Mon Aug 07 16:50:41 UTC 2006

DHTML menus to cover "Options" links?

Reported by: Andrew Severity: Enhancement
Part: Web site: General (miscellaneous issues) Release:
Milestone: Status WontFix

Details by Andrew:

It would be interesting to see how much baggage and effort might be involved with creating drop-down DHTML menus below the navigation bar entries in the header. These would include the items already listed in the “Options” for each application sidebar. At this stage it is only really viable to hard-code the addresses of the various items.

Many solutions of reasonable elegance are described on the Web but they tend to be based around HTML constructs that are visible when no CSS support is present. Since the site is fully navigable without the menus, the code involved must result in no visible change to CSS-free or JavaScript-disabled browsers and degrade gracefully for some of the more quirky JS implementations on RISC OS browsers.

Changelog:

  • Status changed from Open to WontFix

It’s hard to make this backwards compatible without having older browsers dump lots of spurious menu entries at the top of the page and besides, it probably just ends up duplicating navigation links already in the sidebar.

Not going to implement this.
