Milonic JavaScript Menu

Hi chemicalX, If I understand you correctly, the offfunction alternate property might serve your purpose (you might also find onfunction useful). You would want to use the property in your first level item definitions. The Activating Functions example discusses these alternate properties and provide...

Does anyone know what the subimageover property does?

I have also found that you can have multiple separate menus by defining them in the same array.js file. Define each separate menu using the addmenu function, as usual, and use Menu Top and Menu Left to place them. These menus exist independently, with no "show-menu" reference to them from ...

Hi, Have you tried the popdn() function? According to other posts I've read, popdn() should hide the menu. Since you can't use conditionals, I guess you'd have to call popdn() with onLoad. The only problem I might anticipate is, would the menu have to be displayed on the page briefly before popdn() ...

Have you already tried with the backimage/overbackimage properties? What I mean is like in this example: http://www.milonic.co.uk/menu/menusample.php?sampleid=4 Hi somorgujo, Thanks for the reply. The example page you cited is actually the one I used to model my approach. That example uses swapimag...

Paul, I agree with John. It's not advisable to try to edit anything in the mmenu.js file. Not only would you probably break it, as John said, but you'd have to cut the same bits out each time you get an update. Not worth the time. When you try it, you''ll notice that the menus actually load very qui...

Hi All, I've perused the forums, looking at the posts containing "rollover" and "swapimage" and I haven't found an answer. I have a swapimage in a menu item that opens a submenu. The swapimage in the main menu item appears while the mouse pointer is on it, as one would expect. Bu...

Hi Tony, I'd gladly post a URL, but unfortunately I can't. I'm working on an HTML Help project (Microsoft's most recent on-line help system for applications). As the name implies, HTML Help is based on HTML (4.0), although the project files -- .html as well as other types -- are normally compiled in...

Hello All, The "[/quote"] is the end tag for the "quote" BBCode function for this forum... used when you want to add a quote from an earlier post to your own reply to the thread. Like this: "Go ahead, make my day." --Harry, Dirty Much of CC's message was actually inside...

I don't use Dreamweaver, so I'm not familiar with it. I do know that some development tools generate scripts for you for image rollover effects, including caching the mouseover images. However, I usually find it more efficient to write the scripts myself (maybe I'm just a control freak!). For what i...

PS Kevin, you did mean to put the span around the actual link in the menu rather than the description that goes in the browser status bar? Hi Tony, I use the <span> in the "Description Text" field (the first field in the menu item definition). For lack of a better standard, the field name...

You're welcome. Good pun by the way!

Could be useful to have the option of some sort of popup pane which displays a description of what the link will give people.... This would fulfil the same sort of capability as using the title attribute in a link.... Hi Tony, You can get the same tooltip effect as using a title attribute in an <A>...

Mustngt, Only thing that comes immediately to mind is that your values for suboffset_top and suboffset_left might need to be adjusted. These determine where the submenu will open relative to the main menu item that opens it. Maybe increase the left offset, to move the opening position of the submenu...

Hello, I recall reading in another post recently that the latest version does preload images (or was it that an upcoming version will preload images?), but the post was not very detailed. Having started with an earlier version, I wrote a javascript to preload the images; much as you would when scrip...

<...> Two things I'd like to see: -option to have inset/outset for mouseover menu items -"Tooltip" explaining the contents of the menu item to be clicked <...> Hi pbowers: Conveniently, the menu system lets you use HTML at various points in a menu item definition. I've found that you can ...

Hi Kramer, First thing I'd suggest is to try putting the two lines that load the menuing system: <SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="menu_array.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="mmenu.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> into the <BODY> section. You c...

mfurf, Thanks for the reply. I'm thinking that, for IE, this behavior is peculiar to using the menus in HTML Help. When I browse the web with IE 5 and higher, this behavior doesn't occur in the frames example on the Milonic website. But with the same browsers installed, the behavior persists with HT...

Hello, First... thanks for creating and offering a great menu system! I will definitely be licensing its use for my company's site. I am currently testing the menu (v3.5.02) in an HTML Help project. Since HTML Help relies on MS IE 4 or higher (I have 6.0.2600) , I figured the menu system should work...
