I made a simple menu script with fade out effect for Internet Explorer and Mozilla browsers. Could you test it in your browsers? Here's the URL:

Thanks.

BTW, I noticed that it flickers in Mozilla Firefox , anyone else? The weird thing is that, if I put an alert in the loop, it works fine...

Works for me.  No problems. Good work . I'm using Internet Explorer 6.0 btw.

it works well for me I'm using Firefox 0.93

Seems to work fine in Opera 7.5. Pretty nice.

works fine for me


FF 0.9.2  &  IE 6.0.2900

Testing in Avant:
- The page takes a while to load (i think it's normal if you put a lot of javascript)
- The menus take several seconds to be shown the fist time the mouse is over them (over the "test" texts), however next times they load fast.
- Nothing happens when I click the the items (i think this is what is supposed to do: do nothing)
- They look very nice. I like it. Good work.

Fade effect? No, I don't see that. Everything pops up/changes immediately after I move my mouse over it, nice and fast.

Okay let me ask this. It sounds dodgy but. Hmm, when I hit a button on the menu like Test and move my curser off the drop down but its soposed to fade away? If so it dont. It dont fade it erm just goes away in 1 sec. not fading.

What browser are you using? You'll only see the fade effect in IE and Mozilla.

---

In netscape it kinda 'flickers away' just as in FF
in IE it's working nice

I don't see any fading either in any browser...

EDIT: correction... after closing opening many times, I indeed see some "fading", but it is extremely fast, hence it is almost just popping up/away in 1 go... This is maybe also the reason for the flickering you see? Too fast fading?

If the delay in setTimeout("fadeOutMenu()",10) is set to 100, you can see it fading. Maybe you tested it at a slow PC which can't handle 10ms and realy does it in 100ms? Experiment with higher values and see if the menu hides as fast. If it does then use the higher value rather then the lower value. As fast PC's can handle those lower values, the speed will not be the same on both PC's... If you know what I mean....

On my PC a value of 30 to 40 gives a nice result... (P4 2.66Mhz)

code:

function hideMenu(UseFade){
  if (MenuInitialized) {
    if (UseFade && (isMSIE || isMozilla)) {
      t = 1000
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = 1",t);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .9",t+100);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .8",t+200);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .7",t+300);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .6",t+400);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .5",t+500);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .4",t+600);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .3",t+700);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .2",t+800);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .1",t+900);
      setTimeout("menu.style.MozOpacity = .0",t+1000);
      // set the focus to something else, a box
      alert('boo');
      //fadeOutMenu();
    } 
    else {
      menu.hide();
    }
  }
}
