Drop Down Menus Broken
Posted: 10 Jan 26, 17:36

I have been using older versions of jAlbum and the Tiger skin the past year or so because updates of one or the other broke my drop down menus. The other day I decided to try again, but now I cannot get rid of the latest version of either without uninstalling and finding a version that works, so my menus are broken when I compile an album. I would like to use the latest updates, of course.

Working example is at https://www.royfc.com/albums/Aruba/index.html.

Broken example is at https://www.royfc.com/albums/Aruba-1/index.html.

Menus are across the page near the top, named: ◊Home ◊ Photos ◊Services ◊Resources ◊About Roy ◊Email Roy ◊Site Map

Home, About Roy and Email Roy are not drop-down and, therefore, are not a problem.

I don't see what's wrong with the "broken" version. Anyway, that menu is your code, so it's not the skin's fault if they are broken.

If you'd like to install an earlier version, scroll down the skin's page (look for "Releases"); you will see every past version there.

Actually, no, it is not my code. One of the regulars here wrote it for me several years ago.

I finally had to remove jAlbum altogether and install an old version. Then I put an old version of Tiger into it. It works, but I do not get the benefits of the latest versions,

The version of jAlbum won't make any difference. Remember, the jAlbum core doesn't produce a single line of HTML, CSS, or Javascript - it's all the province of the skin. So, you can install jAlbum 39, but then reinstall an older version of Tiger and delete the bundled version.

I took a look at your two albums, and I'm pretty sure that what's happening is that the custom drop-down menu code is colliding with the skin's own code. The menu coding is using the generic selectors for an unordered list, so the skin's own coding is bumping into it. This is always the tricky part of inserting your own code in a project. Very tricky to untangle it unless the skin is using more specific selectors for what it's doing.
