In SharePoint 2007, there's a top nav that the user can hover over, which reveals a dropdown menu of subitems. When they remove their mouse from the dropdown, it disappears, but only after a short delay. This can cause problems, as if people are trying to click a link on the page somewhere, but the nav menu hasn't hidden itself yet, they'll accidentally click it instead. This is compounded with the fact that the menu appearing in the first place is delayed as well, so right before they mouse over the link on the page they actually want to click, the menu will suddenly appear and intercept their click when they weren't meaning to.
I've poked at core.js at some suspect areas, but can't seem to nail it down. Any thoughts?
This is the normal behaviour of SharePoint. This control is the asp:Menu control of ASP.Net 2.0 and the only thing you can do is customized the MasterPage or the DefaultPage of your Site.
If you change the core.js file of "layouts" folder you'll lose Microsoft support, so take care about change any of the file from this folder.
I recommend that you modify the existent control or create a new one and put it in this position of the MasterPage.
This bit of CSS will fix it. I just had the same thing in sharepoint 2010 and this was all that was required to make the list disappear as soon as you roll off:
li.hover-off>ul
{
display:none;
}
The way it works is when you hover over an item in the nav it adds a css class called "hover" and as soon as your mouse leaves the area it changes the class to "hover-off" for 1 second before removing it completely. This CSS will hide the unordered list directly below the list item that has the class "hover-off" thus hiding the flyout as soon as your mouse leaves the parent.

I want to implement scrolling to a particular section on click in Liferay, but I have no idea how to add functionalities in Liferay.
I have created a page using multiple fragments and in the top of the page I have headers of the sections and on click of a header the page should be scrolled to that particular section.
Attached page screenshot link below for reference
The easiest way to scroll to some place on the page is to place an anchor there, e.g. with <a name="scrollTarget"/>. In your navigation, you'll just link to this by Scroll to Target and you're set.
Of course, this can be done a lot fancier, with an animated scroll etc, but the basic start is this. There's nothing Liferay-specific hidden here - pick any of the more fancy methods, create fragments with the proper markup, and make sure they're used on your page.
I have created a webpage using Backbone.js and Marionette.js that mostly consists of a bootstrap accordion view that displays a list of items when the accordion header is clicked. Each item can also be clicked, which will show a hidden div of detailed information that pertains to that particular item.
I would like to make this site accessible to people who might not be using a mouse (Maybe they're visually impaired and using a screen reader? Maybe they just don't like clicking things? Either way.) I'm thinking that this would mean being able to press the Tab key to get to the accordion, pressing Space or Enter to open the accordion, Tabbing down (or down arrow key?) through the list items, and then using Space or Enter to show the selected item's hidden div.
I'm finding it difficult to find information on how to add a feature like this, since searches like "How to make an accessible website that can be used without a mouse" mostly turns up blogs on what a developer should do to add accessibility to a page, and not much on how to do it.
Currently, the page doesn't really respond to any keyboard buttons. Any tips or resources you could share would be extremely appreciated. I've been fiddling with ARIA role tags, but I'm either not doing it right or it's not the answer here.
You have to use tabindex

Screen readers automatically read whatever element is the activeElement
I've been doing searches trying to find help on this, but so far all I have found is how to set options for popping up a SharePoint modal dialog box from custom code.
However, I haven't created any custom web parts to display modal dialogs. What's happening, is if someone clicks the upload document button in a library, the upload document modal dialog comes up, but the ok and cancel buttons are half off of the bottom of the box. Users can click on them, but it just doesn't look very good.
I started playing with the CSS to make the modal dialog box bigger to reveal the buttons, and that works for the most part, but the real problem is the grant user permission dialog box.
When that is clicked, it doesn't show the ok and cancel buttons, and maximizing the dialog box doesn't reveal them. The user has to hit tab about 5-10 times before the focus moves to the ok button and is then clickable.
I would post an image, but I don't have enough reputation to do so.
Has anyone come across this? It seems very strange that the out of the box setting would have this problem.
The CSS that I use to adjust the height and width of the modal dialog is:
.ms-dlgFrame, .ms-dlgContent, .ms-dlgBorder, .ms-dlgFrameContainer
I'm just trying to set the height/min-height values, but I haven't had much luck.
We're using Internet Explorer 11 to view the pages.
Stevangelista actually pointed me in the right direction, I wish I could mark comments as answers, and since I'm new I can't upvote the comment, but here's the solution:
I am using a customized master page, and that comment had me take a look at the elements in the page.
Since the master page is being used in the dialog boxes as well, I used the s4-notdlg class to remove parts that weren't needed in the dialogs. Those parts were pushing the buttons below the bottom of the screen.
I'm not a css expert, so there may be ways of keeping those parts and still have the buttons accessible, but the particular issue I was trying to fix was resolved by using the s4-notdlg class to objects in my custom master page.
So I am integrating AdMob banners in an android application. The Banner is situated at the bottom of view, working fine, not overlapping with the list view when scrolling and it's all good. I think that bottom position is a very good place to put the banner, but when clicking on the menu button, the menu does cover the banner. I guess this normal behavior but want to make sure it does not break the admob policies, specifically:
Ads should not be placed very close to or underneath buttons or any other object which users may accidentally click while interacting with your application.
Does anybody have a similar situation?
Thanks,
I think until you dont have it very close to the menu it would be fine.
All you need to make sure is that it should not interfere with user inputs and produce incorrect clicks.
Its usually on a more case to case basis.
New to Orchard. I have been looking for some documentation on how the menus actually work. It appears that you can have hierarchical menus, but I cannot find any good information on this.
It took me a while to figure this out too. You can see how to create a navigational menu in this video (around 8:45, but i'd recommend watching the entire video).
Basically, you need to drag & drop an item below and to the right of another content item in order to make a nested menu item.
Yes, you can. Since 1.5 you can create hierarchical menus from Navigation admin screen. Hierarchy (and reordering) of items can easily be created by drag & drop.
Navigation screen is used to define your menus. In order to display a defined menu you need to put Menu Widget in the zone of your choice. When you create that widget you need to choose which menu is it going to display. Besides the choice of the menu, you can also choose some other optional parameters if you need to customize the display more (eg. display only certain level).
