Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/29551 Post a follow up: http://drupal.org/project/comments/add/29551 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: menu system Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: Anonymous Reported by: nedjo Updated by: nedjo Status: patch (code needs review) Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/expandable_menu.patch (2.16 KB) One or more unneeded page loads are often required to bring up the desired page through the navigation menu (e.g., administer > settings > content types). Using CSS, this patch introduces automatically expanding menu options. E.g., holding the mouse over "create content" will dynamically expand the menu, revealing the available options ("page", "story", etc.). Issues & questions: * Is this a desired behaviour? * Page loads are slightly larger, since they include hidden menu portions. * Not supported by, e.g., Internet Explorer due to CSS bugs. Downgrades cleanly, but means that functionality is not uniform across browsers. A js IE fix is available, see e.g., http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns/ but it's a big ugly. * Display is a bit jumpy. Slideouts or slowed transitions might be nice, but would I assume require javascript. * Introduced as the default behaviour, not as an option. Should this be a configuration option instead? The approach is based on suggestions and code [1] for the taxonomy_context module by eferraiuolo [2].
