Milonic JavaScript Menu

Interesting idea, but, being the pessimist I am, I'm not so sure folks would realize that's a menu popup and therefore would just scroll back up to get the menus. FWIW, I don't think it's that hard to make a set that doesn't block the page (see http://westcgi.west.asu.edu/sai/ for my 'thinline' scro...

Just curious, but if the user can't get scripts because of the firewall what's the difference if you do a call or embed? You are still dealing with a <script></script> pair.

Greg -

Great - glad to hear it

I think you'll find most of the folks around here to be helpful. It's Andy's fault - he's so d--n helpful himself it just rubs off

OK, now I do see the | you're talking about at the right edge of the menu. It barely shows on my system. You have... ,"Visit Another Florida City  ","show-menu=news",,"",1 Try changing that to... ,"Visit Another Florida City  ","show-menu=news",,&quo...

Hi Greg - OK, got it. The first problem I see is this. You have... dumpmenus(); </script> Get that </script> out of there :!: The array should end with just a dumpmenus() (note no ';'). Call everything from your HTML page(s) like this... <script language="Javascript" src="menu_array.j...

Bring it on, Marty

Not entirely sure what you're seeing in your failure. In NS4.79 I see what appears to be a properly functioning menu under Visit Another City. In IE6, however, I see problems. Sometimes the triangle in the sub-menu is lined up directly on the sep line between menu items rather than being lined up wi...

Hi Greg -

What exactly do you have in the HTML? You should be able to do everything right in the array.

Got a URL handy?

Good to hear, Andy. At the university level this is a most critical feature, and as I'm sure you know, is now law. It's a must have with no excuses accepted. Perhaps a simple start by allowing id and/or alt tags would make the transition in easier for you (get fancy later). That alone would be a gre...

Hi Mike - Many thanks for the kind words. I think you'll find that almost everybody around here is willing to help, especially Andy. Ya gits back what ya gives out! :D Appreciate your comments. Trust me - the color choice in that menu was not my idea. [See a better one at http://westcgi.west.asu.edu...

I take it you mean you need the menu item to open up a sub-menu and be a link to something else as well? If so... ,"Student Affairs","show-menu=stuaff","http://www.west.asu.edu/sa/","Student Affairs Home Page",1 "menu item name", "sub-menu name&...

Chad, a URL would help so we can get a better idea of what's going on.

First - I'm old, too, and not sane, so why should you be any different :?: :P OK, FWIW, I see a number of things in your source that aren't working on the page - the clock for one. Just FYI. As for the follow menu, it took me a while to get it down as well (thanks, Andy!). I think the easiest would ...

The shadow is an effect, and looks something like this...

Shadow(color='#777777', Direction=135, Strength=5)

Just remove that part from the effect line(s).

Forgot. Since you're just starting your menu you might as well download the new 3.5 version. It's current.

Follow Andy's examples that came in the menu_array.js file when you downloaded the script. Something like this... At the end of the "mainmenu" section of the array file you define your main menu items. Example... ,"Introduction","show-menu=careerplan","intro.htm&qu...

Not sure about the other folks, but I'd need a bit more 'real' information before I can try to help

I took out the effects in total, and it's now as fast as it was with the old version -with- the effects Dennis - I'm running 3.5 with minimal effects at http://westcgi.west.asu.edu/sai/ and http://www.west.asu.edu/cspc/steps/intro.htm. See if these show any of what you are seeing on your site. Mayb...

Dennis -

Just looked at your site under IE6 and XP and don't really see a problem. Your menus are poppin' up very quickly - actually impressive speed.

FWIW...

Hey, I am also having trouble just centering my menu- it wont budge from where it is at. I have this so far but it wont do anything 20, // Menu Left - The Left position of the menu in pixels 0, // Menu Width - Menus width in pixels Looks like you have the menu hard-fixed at 20px left (above). Remov...
