Milonic JavaScript Menu

Does anyone know if it is possible to change the color/style of just the scrollbars that appear on menus that are too big for the browser window, but not have it apply to all other scrollbars as well? I'm not sure if this is a limitation of CSS in general, or if I'm just missing something... Thanks ...

Thanks for your reply. Well. We have two different menu systems and one of them (not positioned inside a table) seemed to work well with IE 6.0. But it doesn't work with NN 4.05 at all (JavaScript errors), NN 6.1 (one of the menu items keeps growing every few seconds) and the keyboard interface ...

Well, I'm back again... I'm having some nasty problems with Netscape 4.7 and Netscape 6.x ... they wreak havoc on our menu... is this typical? I thought milonic handled both of those well...

See the link above for testing purposes... Does anyone else have problems ...

You need to add forgetClickValue=true; to the menu_data.js file.

This worked! Fantastic. Thanks very much!

Aaronz, nice layout by the way.

Thanks

Just wanted to post a follow up pointing out that I have upgraded to 5.71 as I noticed that it was released... but it did not alleviate the problems mentioned above. It did seem to change the behavior somewhat, however. Clicking on a tabbed item will sometimes exhibit the proper behavior when ...

Hi Kevin,

Thank you for the thorough response yet again...

I've had a look at your latest test page. It looks like there may be a few things to address before tackling the menu's functionality.

I have addressed all the things you've mentioned now. Thank you for pointing them out. Some of them I ...

Additional update: The javascript errors occur when you mouse over and then mouse off of the last "tabbed" menu item. Has nothing to do with the structure of the menu- I changed it around and no matter what the last menu item was, it still caused the error.

To recap, the menu should not be doing the following things:

- After a "tab" item is clicked, rolling over other "tab" items should not be bringing up their horizontal sub-menus. Only clicking on another "tab" item should bring up its respective horizontal sub-menu.

- Drawing the horizontal sub ...

As some of you may remember, my employers have given me requirements that necessitate a highly customized implementation of milonic to meet them. I've been struggling for a while now to meet these requirements and have been getting pretty close.

However, I upgraded to 5.7 about fifteen minutes ago ...

Did you try version 5.7? I just happend to be doing something similar on our staging site right now (popup a particular menu as soon as the page loads). I had some problems until I switched to 5.7.

Yep... I'm using 5.7 for all of this. Didn't seem to make a difference when I switched to it ...

There was a function written to open subs automatically onload. Perhaps that will help. AutoOpenSubsOnLoad

This did help somewhat, thanks!

I've used setTimeout() to introduce a brief delay (100 or 200 msec) before attempting to open the menu; that usually works.

This did the trick after I ...

I am attempting to get a certain submenu to be open by default when a page loads. However, calls to both menuDisplay and popup do not work. In fact, I am able to get the numeric menu ID by name using getMenuByName, but when I pass the same name to gmobj, it returns null. Am I missing something ...

Can you please try the Pre Release version of the menu at http://www.milonic.com/menuvinfo.php

There are some changes to the way onclick and keepalive work.

Unfortunately, I did not find that the changes made a difference with respect to the problems that I was trying to correct with the large ...

Just wondering if anyone has any further information regarding this subject.. thanks

Alright, well that certainly helped a lot... it definitely made the menus work as intended. However, we also wanted the items in the main menu to remain selected after they are clicked, which proved quite daunting, although through some seriously convoluted techniques, I managed to pull it off. I'm ...

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you... been pretty busy. And thanks for posting a test url. That makes it much easier to see what's happening and to envision your description of what you want to happen. No worries, thank you for your response. The help is much appreciated.

(1) I see that ...

Hi,

It would be a great help if you could post a url to a test site that demonstrates your approach so far. Can you do that?

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for the response. You can see what I've done so far at the link below. Ignore the menu at the top right-- the part I'm referring to is at the ...

Alright, I'd say thus far my experience with the menuing system has been quite pleasant and I am impressed. However, I'm running into a bit of a problem that may prevent my employers from choosing Milonic as our menuing solution, which would be unfortunate as I am a fan already.

Anyway, our goal is ...
