Milonic JavaScript Menu

Just to update this thread, the latest version (5.739) does indeed seem to sort this issue, so using my initial test case with the popup in the onClick attribute of the button opens up the menu and it stays open until you mouseout of the button or menu.

Thanks

No, not at all, I hope it helps someone else.

Yes that second link of kevins had the info I was after, so the function can be simplified and now becomes: function toggleObjectMenu(menuName, objectName) { var menuNum = getMenuByName(menuName); var visibleState = _m[menuNum][7]; if(visibleState) { // hide the menu menuDisplay(menuNum, false); } e...

Right, I finally figured out how to roughly do what I want using a some javascript wizzyness gleaned from various posts on these forums, so.... Define a function to toggle visibility and a couple of menus for the buttons (I may want more than one "button" menu on one page): <script languag...

Here is a test case so you can see what I am on about: http://www.bluestar-software.co.uk/test/ Menu used in the sample: with(milonic=new menuname("options_menu")) { style=vertStyle; margin=3; aI("text=Option 1;url=#;"); aI("text=Option 2;url=#;"); aI("text=Option ...

Do you have a link, or can you post the code you have for the popup so we can test?

It's internal at the mo, but let me see if I can put a sample up on the web...

Thanks

I want it to be a standard html button becuase we have other buttons on the screen and I want the "menu" button to look exactly the same as the other buttons. I know I can use a graphic as a button or have a menu that looks a bit like a button but that does not solve the problem - it must ...

I dont quite understand, the title of your post says menu hiding under flash but your description says menu floating above??? Anyway, have you tried this top-level menu setting? fixMozillaZIndex=true; It was meant to fix problem on firefox where menu would appear underneath flash elements. I have me...

Just a thought - you have not said what version of the menu you are using or what version of firefox you are having the problem with and perhaps post your menu data code too (or at least the settings/style parts. There is a top-level menu setting to do with flash and mozilla which is: fixMozillaZInd...

I had similar problems with tooltips on my menu (not on html objects) and eventually found out that the syntax had changed from onfunction=showtip('Your Text Here'); to tooltip=Your Text Here; The documentation on the web site etc was not updated to show this - perhaps it's possible that the syntax ...

Also the new tooltip= thing should be updated on this page: http://www.milonic.com/menumodules.php I just spent half an hour trying to work out why my tooltips were not working any more! I did'nt know the syntax had changed and that page still says to use showtip: "USE: Declare the tool tip in ...

I am trying to do something like the menu sample "Using The Popup Menu Function Positioned by Images": http://www.milonic.com/menusample24.php But I want to use a html button for my menu rather than text or images. Now this works o.k. with the onmouseover=popup and onmouseout=popout BUT I ...

Perfect! thanks.

Is there any way to add further images/icons after menu item text? I have icons before some menu items with the image= setting but we have a requirement where a menu will list a number of tasks for a user and when tasks are updated then I want an icon next to those tasks indicating this (also furthe...

Thanks for the tips, I have cleaned up as you suggested but still got the problem. I did some experimenting in removing items from the first menu etc and still got the problem even with just two plain menu items with one seperator line. So I though as it seemed to only affect the first menu in the m...

Oops, o.k. now upgraded to 5.18 - still seem to have the same problem. I know what you are saying about the Firefox/Beta issue it was just that becuase only one of my menu items seemed to have the seperator problem it could point to an issue with the Milonic Menu or my config. I'll have another play...

I have a working menu for my Companies web site: http://www.bluestar-software.co.uk/ But within the latest release (0.8) of the Firefox browser http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/ there seems to be an issue with horizontal lines in the menus. The first time you open the "Products" men...

Trying to upgrade our company site to v5 but have one problem - I cannot seem to get any alignment (of menu items within the menu) to work in my menus. I converted my old menu details via the web site and it created entries with: alignment="center" which from current documentation seems to...

I can't actually remember exactly but it was something to do with the color or background color of the body tag - when I changed the tag settings it seemed to work o.k. I have not tested on older versions of Opera so I suspect it may not work becuase my body does have an onload handler. Where have y...

I am currently developing a web site for a company, the menu seems fine in IE and Netscape but in Opera (6.04) when I go to the page I can see the menu flash up on screen briefly but then disappears. I have set 'show javascript errors' - but nothing is being reported. I have tried re-loading the pag...
