I've got a two framed application using a slider menu. When the slider sub menu extends into the center frame, it works fine, until the user scrolls down vertically. The inframe sub menu then scrolls with the frame.

Anyway around this?

Hi,

We are not aware of any good solution for this because JavaScript can not capture a "begin scroll" event. It can only capture "end scroll" event. So the most we can do is to catch the scroll event. However when that occurs, the window has already been scrolled and the sub menu is scrolled off.

One thing that we maybe able to do is to handle the target window's onscroll event and deactivate the menu so that as soon as user scrolls the window, the sub menu would close. Because the sub menu will still be visible and off before user releases the mouse, so we are not sure whether this actually makes the situation better or just causes more confusion.

Thanks!

Even if we can have the new anchor point recalculated that would be great. Users think that the sub menu popup is missing, but its showing off the window above, since they scrolled down.

That will be better. We will look into it and see if we can do that.
