This may have been covered before I started reading, if so please point me to the thread.
How does one define a Form Entry such as that for the Search menu item here on Milonic?
I see no reference anywhere in the Guides etc.
Thank You

Search (or any other) Form in the menu

Maz has got you started, and I'm not trying to be a snot, but since you found what you're looking for in the menu, why not just view source on menu_data.php and see how Andy did itRBoone wrote:How does one define a Form Entry such as that for the Search menu item here on Milonic?

Hey maz, not being picky but its actually
aI("text=<form>...</form>;type=form;")
Just thought I would mention, cuz theres no name attribute, unless I am way out of the loop. Also, I should mention this too here, on one of your menus, I think the one on your forum, you have a title attribute. There is no title attribute for menu items as far as I can tell, I think what you meant was status.

I would prefer a form to be type header it works with both although logicaly thats incorrect.
Only the form elements change, form titles are really headers, I can't make any sense of having the form change on and off colors. I suppose someone might want to add a link in the form title to look up directions. I don't know how that would work, sounds complicated within a form.
If you look at member login, you see that I added 2 submenus, they look like they are attached to the form as normal links. So there is a way around adding links.
Does anyone agree with me or see reason why a form should not be a header?

I thought I did! 
But if so, I obviously missed it. I've been in and out of so many example files. I forget where I've been, what I've seen, and what's worse....
why I was looking at it! heh heh
