Forced link stopped working

Post by posword »

For some reason I can't fathom, the forced link has stopped working on one of my pages and I'm getting the Milonic instead of Home in the menu. I'm using 5.831.

The page is http://www.peterwade.com/colossians/index.html

Other pages using the same code in the footer are still working, e.g. http://peterwade.com/principles/index.html

Thanks.

Hi,

This looks like it might be an Internet speed issue. If the page takes too long to load the menu will detect a missing link to milonic.com and add the forced link even though it is on the page, it's just that it hasn't loaded yet.

What I can suggest is that you add the following to your HTML, just before the menu code in your HTML:

Code: Select all

<noscript><a href="http://websites.milonic.com/milonic.com/>Milonic JavaScript Menu is only visible when JavaScript is enabled</a></noscript>
Hope this helps,
Andy

Thanks for the suggestion, Andy.

Even though I have Disable Cache selected in Firefox 3, it is still not working. This might be something for the programmers to put the checking mechanism earlier in the .js src file. I can watch it load and display Home and then see it change to Milonic. If the check came before display then perhaps this wouldn't happen.

As it stands now, it makes me uneasy about its realiability.

Thanks,
Peter

You could always buy a Pro license - that way the forced link will not become a problem and you also help support Milonic for future developments etc.

Yes, Andy, I had thought about that and in fact we'd probably qualify as a non-profit. However, we're now using the Milonic menu on only about 8 pages on our site since we moved most of the site to WordPress, so it doesn't seem worth the effort.

Cheers,
Peter
