For the past 18 months we have allowed you to test the power and flexibility of DHTML Menu Builder by providing us with challenges and see if DHTML Menu Builder was really able to create any type of pull-down menu.
Well, now its our turn... and now, we're the ones doing the challenge. We already know that DHTML Menu Builder can be used to create anything from the simplest menu to the most complex menus we have ever seen, but we want to see if you are able to take the most our of DHTML Menu Builder and create any type of pull-down menu with it (just like we did with your challenges). So, here's our first challenge:
Yep, you read that just right... the winner will get US$250.00 Now, to the boring part, the rules:

So, here's how my menus look like: http://software.xfx.net/utilities/dmbuilde.../requests/req1/
Make sure your menus provide "something else" so they have a chance to beat me and win the US$250.00 price.

I'm still looking for the "challenge". Could it be to spot the design mistake on the menu in the website at: http://mexicano.blog.deejay.it/
Nice to see, Xavier, that you didn't fall into the same trap! Ho, Ho, Ho!!!! and LOL, of course. JohnM ![]() |

Dear JohnM,
No the challenge is much simpler: just re-create the menus so they as similar as possible to those at the original web site. That's it, plain and simple. There are a few things that I didn't mimic in my version of the menus... so whoever is able to to improve upon my version will win the price. -------------------- Xavier Flix

Well, I suppose someone has to go first, so here's my effort. Have tried to make more of the colors. This menu works from the keyboard as well as the mouse. Ctrl. then keyboard arrows. See it working here

Well, just two days left but I have only received 7 entries... I guess it will be easier for me to decide who's the winner

WOW! I just received 12 new entries today! I guess everybody was waiting for the last day.
This means that I will not be able to review them all and announce the winner today. I will do my best to finish reviewing all the entries today and I'll announce the winner tomorrow. -------------------- Xavier Flix

I'm still evaluating all the entires... a the last minute I received 47 entries!!!
It's 1:00am here and I still have to evaluate 22 more entries. I think I'm going to sleep... I'm just too tired right now ![]() So, hopefully, we'll know who's the winner sometime tomorrow. -------------- Weird thing: over 90% of the entries are from already-resgitered users. I was hoping this could be some sort of incentive to new commers... -------------------- Xavier Flix

I think it's brilliant that so many members took the trouble to enter but what happened to the entry insruction:
QUOTE Do not post your project; instead, post a screenshot of your menus (from DHTML Menu Builder's preview window) and then email me the project; make sure you include your forum nick name in the email. I would like to have picked my choice of winner to see how it compared with Xavier's!!! JohnM P.S. Xavier, do you mean to say that you actually go to bed during times like this, shame on you LOL ![]() |

PuLLi
Acording to the "World Clock" website. We in the UK (GMT) are only 4 hours in front of Xavier so I was wrong in my last post. Fed in Cologne and that is 5 hours in front of Xavier. It is now 13.07 hrs here and 09.07 in Xaviers bedroom. I think it is about time he was up and about. ![]() JohnM |
