YAML and Suckerfish drop down menus can work together!


After a fair bit of gnashing of teeth and pulling of hair, I have managed to get Suckerfish drop down menus and yaml.de working together. Add in a dash of jquery, care of Myles Angell and we have magic!

I will make the css a little more analogous to the wider yaml community so it will work with as little modification to the basemod.css file as possible.

Just a little tip, the one thing that really confused me the most… It was a real “DER!” moment when I realised where I was going wrong:

Try removing the overflow attribute from #nav in the basemod.css file.

I couldn’t understand why the drop down wasn’t working until I realised the #nav div was cropping everything trying to go outside it… like a dropdown.

This may also be of use to jYAML users as well, I know many Joomla themer’s like to use drop down menus in their designs.
