How can I completely change the look of the TopNavigation dropdowns in SharePoint 2007?
Basically I need to change the look of the div popup that gets display. I need to use Javascript to do this, so just changing the CSS for the menus won't work.
Grab a copy of the MossMenu code the MS team released, implement and override the render with your own code. Peasy
Telerik has a few pages that show you how to use their controls instead of the the dropdown menu in MOSS. The directions start here http://www.telerik.com/help/aspnet-ajax/moss-overview.html
Please take a look at Heather Solomon's Blog for MOSS 2007 CSS reference. You will most likely get want you want out of that.

When I use OpenView in Domino Designer, all the Views are presented in the Menu Bar. How can I make sure that only one view is presented and at the same time do not hide the other Views so I can use them to other Hotspot Button. Thank you.
The easiest is to create an outline with the views. You can organize the views in expandable groups, specify icons for each view, and much more.
You then create a page where you insert the outline, set the fonts and formatting, etc.
Finally you create a frameset and put the page with the navigation menu in one of the frames.
I created a simple template with all this several years ago, you can find it at http://blog.texasswede.com/free-application-templateframework-for-notes/
Download it and take a look at how it's done there.
Is it possible to integrate CKEditor to SharePoint2010's EDIT ITEM or ADD ITEM page without using CKEditor for SharePoint?
If you want to replace the default editor with CKEditor, it is going to be hard. Remember that the default editor is integrated in the ribbon. If you want to use it for some reason in a webpart or on specific situations like in a page layout you can follow something along the lines of this:

I'm looking for some code on how to create a hiding menu. Basically I'd like to have four links in a horizontal menu. When you click on a link I'd like it to hide the others perhaps above or below to provide a text box. This box would also have information in it that we be inputted by the designer only.
I have a link to preview a template for an example below:

Check out these links for examples of Accordion menus. I find the Viral one to be easier to use, however the jQuery UI & API explain more in detail how it works.
So with the new Ribbon on top of the SharePoint 2010 page we have an office like feel to working with SharePoint pages. Customization of this ribbon is great, adding your own functionality augmenting what Microsoft provides out of the box. My question is this though, when is it appropriate to use ribbon customization vs an item menu option (i.e. the callout menu on a particular item).
Are there best practices around this? What do you do?
They share a lot of the same options. The ribbon is focused on working with the entire list or library, but still has options pop up when you click on an item that are targeted at that one item. The call-out on a single item is always focused on options for just that item.
So I would say if your looking to do something with an entire list or library, put it in the ribbon. If it is going to be an option specifically tied to one item at a time, put it in the call-out menu, but also try to make it show up in the ribbon if someone doesn't look at the call-out menu.
But that's just my opinion and I haven't had any experience putting custom functionality into either sections.
I am working on SharePoint Branding project, where i need to change the whole sharepoint look and feel according to Clients design guidelines/Visual Designs.
happy part, most of the branding is done but still i am facing problem with SEARCH BUTTON of sharepoint. Ia m not able to replace this default button with my designed button.
any direction ll be great help
What we did was replace the delegate control of the search button with our own, using a feature. In that feature we specified our custom image for the button.
This might help - http://labs.steveottenad.com/reskin-restyle-a-sharepoint-2010-search-box/
When we customised the search box we hide the default img for the search button using css and replaced it with a new background image.
You can't replace the default button with you own search button. You can however customize it to your needs using CSS styles. I have done the same thing. You can create your custom style to override the styles from the corev15.css file.
Create you custom styles css file, reference it in your page layout and just use it.
Hope that helps.
