"Updated tip" Ning popout Navigation tabs!! Update Version 2.1 for your main page or your whole network Google chrome overflow problem fixed

[George H. Compton IV]

Ning popout tabs that float down the page with you. just add the stylesheet to your NC custom code box or just your main page place the stylesheet in a text box.

Update Version 2.1 I noticed on some networks using Google chrome there was an overflow problem and a sub tab issue but it's fixed now....

the look is completely customizable. if you'd like help adding the customized tabs and/or main button to the stylesheet just ask I'll be more than happy to help..

Compatibility
Compatible with all newer browsers and all Ning networks. Warning may not be compatible with some customized navigation codes...

Applying the code to your network or just your main page

for your whole network the stylesheet goes into your NC custom code box. or for just your main page place the stylesheet in a text box on your main page.

Pretty awesome George, BUT, is there any way to have your new method and the older menus at the same time?

[George H. Compton IV]

do you want the centered one or the one to left?

Sent me the link to your network and I'll work that out for you.. :-)

[doone]

I tried the center version and it was better on http://swmm2000.com but I took it out as i get a lot of lurkers on my network and they might be confused by a button, it did look good however,  let me think about it more but thanks for a great tip and even greater code

[George H. Compton IV]

thank you for the Complement Doone You have a great day :-)

hi

thank you this is great I love it, could you please but the code in for me as it is playing me up you are a star thank you www.b-yond.co

[George H. Compton IV]

to make it look like the image above @ www.b-yond.co just add this code to your NC custom code box.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://api.ning.com:80/files/Kx3aMiswcFpp6dlNvwcGIoi47p8nkbtVP3U4A0zCqFA-XNoElnZRKVJfSf5d8zG-9NSv1Jvw5YdIplRAe0oLQENZNQKp*1G6/popouttabsfixedcenter.css" />

[Mary Jane Peterson]

Hi your a star, please can you just make sure that every thing is ok with my site please www.b-yond.co

[George H. Compton IV]

your site looks great and the navigation is working perfectly in Firefox and in Internet Explorer 9-10  but when the spinning animation starts in Google chrome your sub tabs disappear. To fix that I recommend removing Dave's spinning tab animation code.

and if you would like you can change the size of that button using this code.. just place this code underneath the stylesheet  in your NC custom code box..  I think your network looks better with the button at this size :)

<style>

DIV#xg_navigation{
  width: 60px!important;
  height: 60px!important;}

</style>

[Mary Jane Peterson]

I'm sorry you can't use the floating tabs :(

for what you want the code would have to be written for that.. I have created codes for that Style of tabs a years ago or so.. if I can find those codes I will send them your way.

you have a great day Scott

There was a discussion somewhere about tabs down one side, i saw it on my test network as well with no CSS at all in the advanced css box. I cleared my cache and back to normal it went. I hope you can sort this out.
