asked on

Mobile (menu) navigation with jQuery.

I got this mobile navigation from http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/mobile-navigation-design-tutorial/comment-page-5#comments

I've no bother implement the code on its own. I suspect the problem is CSS3 when I integrate the mobile (menu) navigation with jQuery on my HTML code with other functions e.g. accordion etc. I've tried to position the mobile (menu) navigation on the <header> area but it would not stay in a <header> area not without a lot of CSS3 hacking to have absolute positioning in which I think is not a good idea e.g. margin: -34px 0 -0px 23px;

I've successfully implement accordion loosely on centre of a page with background can be seen e.g. .accordion{width:94%;.

For example as below for accordion:
body{background:url(../images/bg.png) repeat;margin:0; padding:0;}
.footer{margin-top:50px;text-align:center;color:#666;font:bold 14px Arial;}
.footer a{color:#999;text-decoration:none}#wrapper-250,
.accordion{width:94%; margin:0 auto; max-width:500px;}


Would it be possible to emulate as above for Mobile (menu) navigation with jQuery without fixing the CSS3 margin: -34px 0 -0px 23px; for example as below. I think is what causes a lot of problem only when I add in margin: -34px 0 -0px 23px to achieve  menu on <header> area.
#nav-wrap {
            position: relative;
            margin: -34px 0 -0px 23px;
      }


I would appreciate with your expertise and easier solution for Mobile (menu) navigation on <header> please?


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The HTML5 code of the actual mobile (menu) navigation with jQuery:
		[b]<!-- Header start -->
	<div id="header"><h3>Heading</h3>
	
	
	
		<!-- Mobile navigation start -->
	<nav id="nav-wrap">
	<!--<div id="menu-icon">Menu</div>-->

	<ul id="nav">
	
	<table width="90%" border="0" cellspacing="5">
    <tr>
        <td><li><a href="#">1</a></li></td>
        <td><li><a href="#">2</a></li></td>
        <td><li><a href="#">3</a></li></td>
        <td><li><a href="#">4</a></li></td>
        <td><li><a href="#">5</a></li></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td><li><a href="#">6</a></li></td>
        <td><li><a href="#">7</a></li></td>
        <td><li><a href="#">8</a></li></td>
        <td><li><a href="#">9</a></li></td>
        <td><li><a href="#">10</a></li></td>
    </tr>
</table>
	
	</ul>
	</nav>
	<!-- / Mobile navigation end -->
	
	
	
	</div>
<!-- Header End -->[/b]

Hi,

Please post a zip file with all the css and js files.

ASKER

#nav-wrap {
            position: relative;
            margin: -34px 0 -0px 23px;
      }

The margin is causing problems. If i remove a margin and you'll see a problem where a menu and menu icon move below a <header>.

What I'm hoping to achieve is to have menu align with the accordion or loosely position on a header area that I can adjust easily.

Please find a zipped file as attached.

Hi Redscrapbook,

I am not able to open your zip file. maybe it got corrupted in the upload. it's 0 bytes.
www.kerrydeaf.com/kozaiwaniec.zip
I've problems uploading stuff on this site for whaterver reason.
that didn't work either. I think you need to re-make your zip file.
Are you in Kerry? I so wish to return to Ireland... I lived in Dublin for a few years. I'm looking at Galway now - we have a really cute cottage in Connemara - not one you could really live in full time, but awesome to visit. Anyway, if you know of any web development jobs in Ireland, will you let me know?

:))

Cheers.

You can always just email me directly too (include the files)

I don't know why it has to be painful as possible with a corrupted file! And redo the lota again. I've double checked and a file with plenty of bytes zipped.

I'm from Clare and currently resides in Dublin. This is my client site from Kerry that I'm ftp-ping. Ireland are still deep in recession, 'weary sigh' and 'its going on for too long' . There are work but any work sought are hard won. LinkedIn is a good bet and not many want to spend money on advertising or worse still look for free labour through internship for someone with masters degree calibrate. One big blue chip company actually attempted this and it was eventually withdrawn from Creative Ireland.com protest. I'd recommend work in bigger company with less chance of letting go as opposed to smaller companies.

We (Ireland) are hanging on and wish that this 'recession' thing will be over sooner, but no. Some say it is already over but it far from it. It is global and that effects Ireland like a dominio. I'm a graphic designer by profession and able to tell you the current climate as it is. It isn't easy. My advice is to stay put where you are unless you're wealthy enough to relocate to a lovely cottage in Galway and work from home ;-) ;-)

Ahh, I'm not the only one with difficulties uploading on this site. Thank you for taking your time in cleaning up the codes and I appreciate it. I'll check my email now.
I've identified all the clean up you've done. Is it possible to match the Yellow drop down to match the accordion width. I've tried few ways but to no avail. I even add in 'tables'. I know it should be thing of a past. Then it is a wrap for this question.
