Hmmm it hard to say what maybe wrong without seeing it.. here is a small screen image showing the slider in active state on a simple menu notice the white slider under the red text

Have you also tried downloading the demo wbs showing it work on just a couple of pages...as always if I can help I will....
I will also offer this if you wish to make a demo like I have and upload I will take a look at it for you and see what may be wrong

Is there anything simple that I might be overlooking that keeps me from getting the active state to work. I test it with only a few simple pages with nothing but a small text object and your menu.
Hopefully these pictures will clear up your question. You can only select 1 active page when adding your menu item per web page and here is where you add it by changing this parameter to a 1.
Looking at this picture, the active bar will be under the Support item on your menu when you go to the Support Page if this is where you place this menu here.

Hi BF. I appreciate your taking time with this. The demo is set to private currently, so I can't get it.

V84x4, I'm using WB6.57 and have the files in the main prog directory.

The images show and the slider works on hover, it's just not putting the underlining/highlighting under the page that's open. It always goes under Home.

The wbs file is 10k, I could email it?

'Course I guess I could be looking at this wrong. In the menu, the page I set to "active" has the underline no matter which page I have open. I thought the menu was supposed to have the underline on whichever page is open.

OK. I'm an idiot. Sorry... I was using 1 menu as a master object. But it works perfectly by using a separate menu object on each page, with that page set to "active" in the menu on that page. I wouldn't have got it without this discussion, so thanks!

Very nice with the active state, but The font will not change. I can change the style and the size, but it always stays as the default.

One suggestion, set the default target to _self.

Hey BF !!!!

A few questions please....

Can the "slider" be an annimated img or flash?
How do I space the Links accross the top to be in the posission i want?
Also is there an option for "vertical" links ?

These options would be Great

Also "_self" as start-up as segested would be nice


Regards V8

Hi V8 at the moment I am not on my own PC as busy doing a rebuild for a relative and dont have access to WB or any of the extensions so I cant give a more definite anwser to all your questions regarding the _self yes that can be done but it can also just be set in the extension properties abourt a animated image or flash I will need to look into that vertical layout dont think that is possible as the original author never incoperated or has a script on his site that does that....as soon as I get back to my own PC I will look at things....

hello everybody.
I am trying to use Sliding JS Menu. The only issue is that when I increase the font size, menu puts last link in a second line. any idea how to make it appear in one line.
Thanks

Please increase the width of the menu, when you use a larger font size then it takes up more space so you then need to adjust the width to accomidate this.

I dragged the width of the menu and increased it but even no progress. Is there any other way to increase the width of the menu?

You do not change the width by dragging...you have to adjust this in the extensions properties, as always please read the PDF file that explains how to use the settings

Hey Baconfries, when adding this extension to WB 8.5 latest version, when double clicking on it, it crashes WB. Could you check this please ? Thanks

Can anybody advise whether this extension is still available?

It says to download via the Extension Manager but it does not appear available to me using the Extension Manager in Web Builder 10.

Looks a very useful extension and I would be grateful for any help or advice.

@Stockport, mbrowne Looking at the extension as I reply to you both. I may consider re-releasing it but i feel it may be pointless to do so. From reading there are some in the forum that feel as if it is not a "Bespoke" (Custom Made) extension but just a "Wrapper" of a external script then it doesn't have a place in the forum anymore as only "Bespoke" (Custom Made) should be available.... :( hence why I haven't taken the time to re-release any of my extensions to date as they are only considered "Wrappers" which haven't any use compared to a "Bespoke" (Custom Made) extension even though many of my extensions have been downloaded 1000's of times in the past....

@BaconFries - Please do reconsider!

I have used many of your extensions and this would be very beneficial, not only to myself but to many others here who appreciate the work you do and have done!

Hope we can see this again soon together with more of your work! Please let me know.

Best wishes.

I have a copy, so my comment was just about its availability in general. Regarding the custom-made issue... Putting a script in a wrapper I think is both valid and useful. As a drop-in the script becomes available to users who might not otherwise be able to use it in WWB, expands the WWB "library," and helps spread a cool script. Sure it's cooler to create an extension from scratch, but adapting an external script for WWB users is also very cool.
