cfmenu conflicts

[Guest]

I have successfully used cfmenu on a test page.  When I put the exact code in my site, it lists the items like bullet items rather than the horizontal menu.  Is anyone aware of any conflicts of code with cfmenu?  I've compared the two pages and they appear to be the same.

I would suspect that you have a CSS style in production that is changing your layout. I will see if I can find you the exact code to look for.

Anyone have an answer to this?  The strange thing is that the menu works properly on some sites and doesn't on others.  I don't see any difference on my sites since they are dynamic and use the exact same code.

Any suggestions?  Anyone else having trouble with cfmenu formatting like a bullet list?

Do you specifically code type="horizontal"? The only other thing it could be, since you are dynamically generating the pages, is there any chance you are generating a submenu? Submenus of both menu types are always arranged vertically.

I'm breaking the code down line-by-line and testing it right now.  Very

strange - and probably an obvious problem.

<cfmenu
childstyle="text-decoration:none;"
selectedfontcolor="##ffffff"
selecteditemcolor="##cccccc"
font="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"
fontsize="16"
name="testmenu"
type="horizontal"
bgcolor="##666666"
fontcolor="##333333"

<cfif submenus.recordcount eq 0>
  <cfmenuitem display="#getmenus.menu#" href="/sites/dsp/#getmenus.sitelink#?menuid=#getmenus.menuid#" />
<cfelse>

    <cfmenuitem display="#getmenus.menu#">
    <cfloop query="submenus">
    <cfmenuitem display="#submenus.menu#" href="/sites/dsp/#submenus.sitelink#?menuid=#submenus.menuid#" />
    <cfmenuitem divider="true" />
    </cfloop>
    </cfmenuitem>
   </cfif>

</cfloop>
</cfmenu>

This is what it's doing. It has to be something so obvious that I'm

overlooking.

Yep, since you have submenu items they will be generated vertically. To quote the manual "Submenus of both menu types are always arranged vertically". The question now is why they sometimes don't get generated vertically.

[Guest]

I don't understand that. Isn't that the point of cfmenu? To have submenus

under the primary menu? Otherwise, why use cfmenu?

[Guest]

Yes, I see that they would be "drop-down" which is vertical. What I don't

understand is why they lose the menu button format and go to a list style.

The primary menu items should still be across the page horizontally.

I put the exact same code in another directory and it worked. I have no

idea why it isn't working in this directory. I just don't see the

differences between the two.

[Guest]

I've narrowed it down, but I don't have an answer as to why.

I have dynamic websites generated from one set of code. When I use the

domain name from my primary site, then the cfmenu works. If I use another

domain name, then the cfmenu does not work. This is when I use the exact

same code in the exact same directory just pointing it to a different domain

name.

I'm still digging. If anyone has any insight, it would be very helpful.

Thank You,

I figured it out. I hope my mistake helps someone else.

I have multiple sites pointing to one directory. Each of those websites

(domains) needed a virtual directory pointed to CFIDE in IIS. Once I set

this up, the cfmenu worked.

Many thanks for your help!

Make sure you point your domain to the CFIDE directory or it won't work.
