    Can you tell me how to slow down the solpart menu so that the mouse user can be a bit more sloppy about sliding from left to right on the menu to get to the child menu without losing the parent menu highlighted? Thanks!

    Are you referring to the Nav menu rather than SolPartMenu?

    NavMenu has been default menu since around DNN 4.9x

    Thanks Lee, I still have older skins on some of my sites that are using the Solpart menu. So I was referring to that one this time. I hadn't heard of the garden menu. It is interesting. At this time, however I didn't want to swap out the whole menu just for this. I thought the Solpart menu had a setting for slowing down the animation. But I tried all the attributes that my skinning document detailed and could not slow it down. This problem is the worst when there are wide entries on a menu and there is a shaky hand using the menu.

    I can't remember without doing some digging into older skins what the parameters are for the animation. I would suggest you look at the code from some older skins, or try the garden menu. The menu should be simple to implement, and it should literally replace the SolPart Menu without any need to change the CSS code that you already have - you just need to change the ascx / html code to use the garden menu.

    On that page they have documented how to change the animation, so you may find it is actually quicker to implement that new menu than dig around in older skins for animation code.

    I have not tested this menu in earlier versions of DNN, so I would contact them first and double check it is compatible with your DNN version.

    Thanks again Lee. I'll look into that garden menu again if it is that simple to install. No changes to the css? wow.
