Navigation menu width (horizontal)

[Theron Roe]

We've created a horizontal navigation structure with a custom skin (based on plain_gray) and I've been able to figure out everything I need in the menus.css to get it to look like we want. The one thing I can't figure out seems to be called from somewhere else that I can't find: total width of the entire module.

The item is being put in a 925 pixel table, and it doesn't use even 2/3 of that before it does the 'convert to vertical'. I've been able to get all 6 or 7 or so items to appear by shortening the first level menu size in the css, but I'd like to see that whole 925 taken up. Looking in the cssmenus.js, it appears that it's trying to determine window size and including a buffer, but that doesn't seem to be having the intended effect. Is there a place I can set a fixed width for the navigation, or experiment with disabling the auto 'convert-to-vertical' if it thinks it's out of room?

The file you'll need to change is actionfiles/dnav/cssmenus/css/horizontal.css

Line 41 or thereabouts says:

/* need top level menus on the same line */
div.ktcssmenu div.kthorizontal ul.lev1 {
width: 649px;
}

Change that to the actual size... and that should do it!

Awesome. Thanks for the quick response!
