Change Nav Tree Drop Down Delay

[tunescool]

a script in the forum wrapper, can someone get the navigational trees drop down to delay longer, and have it be adjustable. like i used this for the page jump in v4.5


<script>
// Change page jump vanish delay
function hidePageSpan (event,a) {
  x = (navigator.appName=="Microsoft Internet Explorer") ? event.srcElement : event.target;

  if (x.id == 'pagedropmenu' || a == 1)
    removePageSpan = window.setTimeout('pageSpan.style.display="none";',3000);
}
</script>

Assuming you haven't modified the relevant HTML, you'd want to do this:

<script type="text/javascript">
$('#navigation-tree .popup_html > .nav-tree-menu').menu('option', 'showDelay', X);
</script>
where X is the number of milliseconds you want it to be.

thanks tim. im not sure how to enter the delay, i tried .3, .03. 3000 nothing was different.

i have this in there if that matters


<script type="text/Javascript">
$("#navigation-tree ul#nav-tree li:last-child").remove();
</script>

Just tested it, confirmed that the code works. Milliseconds are thousandths of a second, so 3000 would be 3 seconds. I believe our default is 400.

it works but its the opposite of what i want it to do. 3000 it doesnt drop down until 3 seconds go by, i want it to not disappear for whatever amount of time. the way it is its so fast if you go off of it, im usually moving around and cant catch the board i want

tunescool Tim was giving you control of the delay since that's what you asked for in your first post. The delay is how long it takes for the dropdown menu to appear. Delay is what that is literally called.

What I think you want to edit isn't even a property of the navigation tree. It's not something that can be edited because it's not something that exists as part of the nature of the internet. Drop down menus everywhere follow the same basic functionality. There is no delay for holding a sub menu open. That doesn't even make sense because imagine scrolling down the list and having to wait for each previous sub-menu to disappear. The reason the sub-menus are vanishing is because you're trying to cut the corner.

If you are having problems moving your mouse from one menu to the next sub-menu then you need to adjust your behavior and move your mouse horizontally. You can't cut diagonally just to get to a board quicker. Move vertically down one menu, then horizontally to the sub-menu of your choice, then vertically again. Repeat as necessary.

Sorry, but this just isn't something you (or anyone) is going to be able to change on the forum side of things. You'll need to change how you interact with the feature as it is. Like buying a car with a pedal for a parking brake instead of a lever. You can't go to the dealer and tell them to change how that works because you think that the lever would be easier. That is how it is. This is a feature where you adjust your behavior to the car, the car does not adjust to you.

Sorry tunescool you'll just need to adjust.
