Moble Kit pro menu issue

When using mobile Kit pro I noticed that in the menu you have to touch the actual word rather than the whole menu bar. However looking at the Mojo portal site in mobile view you can just touch anywhere on the menu bar to navigate.
I've updated to the latest version of mobile Kit pro and also changed the theme (whether that should make a difference)
any advice on configuring my installation of mobile Kit pro so that you can navigate by touching anywhere on the menu bar rather than just the specific word in the title. Many thanks



I noticed that  In Mobile Kit pro

Re: Moble Kit pro menu issue

I'm not aware of doing anything different in Mobile Kit Pro on this site or the demo site. As far as  I know it has always required clicking the links. The only thing that might be different on this site is we are self hosting the jqueryui files with that skin so it is an older version of jqueryui.

Is your site at a public url where we could see what you mean?

Re: Moble Kit pro menu issue

Apologies for the delay in getting back (Easter hols etc..)

This issue happens on all my mobile sites (smartcowmarketing.com and physiotherapycroydon.com as examples) in the menu for both the mobile versions of these sites you have to select the word in the menu, whereas on the Mojoportal mobile site you can press anywhere in the bar for that menu item.

I notice that my menus have bullets beside them and yours doesn't (they were created with artisteer) could that be the issue?

Any thoughts most welcome.

Re: Moble Kit pro menu issue

attached are 2 links for screenshots of debugging the mobile versions:

 

The mojoportal works fine (as expected):

The smart cow one as you can see has a highlight on the about us link rather than the whole bar.  I notice that the span for the icon is greyed out in the mojoportal version and not the smart cow. This maybe if there is (or is not) an icon for the mojoportal or ar theese meant to be stripped out on the rendering of the mobile version?

Any ideas

Re: Moble Kit pro menu issue

The screenshots you shared show that the css applied to the anchor elements is nothing alike between the two sites. If you want your site to function more like mojoPortal, you should change the CSS applied to the anchors on your site to match the mojoPortal site.

I added the following in firebug and it seemed to acheive your goal:

.ui-accordion-header > a {
    display: block;
    margin-top: 0;
    padding-bottom: 7px;
    padding-left: 22px;
    padding-top: 7px;
}

.ui-icon {
    margin-top: 7px;
}

.ui-accordion .ui-accordion-header {
    padding: 0;
}

HTH,
Joe D.

Re: Moble Kit pro menu issue

Joe,

Many thanks for this.

I started to have a problem with trying to find jquery-ui.css to make the changes. The reason is that this is referenced and hosted by Google.

so I have added the mobilekit_V1/style.css and works a treat.

Superb
