Relative Links

[kcorkre@hotmail.com]

Hello all,

I have a menu in development and keep getting an error that says invalid argument on line 16 when I rollover a menu with subs and a relative link. I know that is not much to go on but i have narrowed it to this:

This does not cause the error:

aI("text=Home;url=http://milonic.com/mylicenses.php;");

This does:

aI("text=Home;url=index.asp");

I think it is looking for a www. becasue if i hard code the path like this:

aI("text=Home;url=http://www.localhost/web/home/index.asp");

then i do not get the error. I know that does not make sense with the http://www.localhost, but when I remove the www. i get the error again.

Is there a way to set it to use relative paths? i am not ready to post to production or i would just make all the paths absolute and forget it.

any ideas? i would think it should be an easy one

Got a URL we can look at?

Use this link and rollover the Home Link at the top a coulple of times.

http://www.sixstring.org/newsite/index.asp


Notice the path for the directions link is: url=http://www.localhost/corkrean/sixstring/index.asp;

and it is not giving the error. Crazy huh


Thanks for the help,

Kevin

When I roll over Home I get http://www.sixstring.org/newsite/index.asp.

When you rollover this link? Is anyone else getting an "Invalid Argument line 16" error? I really need to figure out if using a relative path is possible, I can not understand why it would not be.

Thanks,

Is anyone else getting an "Invalid Argument line 16" error?

I had no problems in Opera 7.53 or Firefox 0.9.2, however the links do not change color on rollover in Firefox.

In IE6, I didn't notice any actual problems, however I do get the "Error on page." message at the bottom-left corner after I rollover "Home". This is the error details I get when I double-click the error icon:

Line: 17
Char: 6688
Error: Invalid argument
Code: 0
URL: http://www.sixstring.org/newsite/index.asp

For the Reply, can someone post a link to a site they do not have trouble with. I would like to see what i am doing wrong. I really need this to work here soon and I am lost.

Thanks for you time,

The error only occurs when rolling off the Home link, but none of the others (didn't happen that way the other day). The only things I see are...

Code: Select all

aI("text=Home;url=index.asp");

...should be...

Code: Select all

aI("text=Home;url=index.asp;");

...and...

Code: Select all

drawMenus()

...should be...

Code: Select all

drawMenus();

...but I don't really think either one of those should cause this on only one link.

Also, you're 4 levels down - 5.37a is current - and the link to Milonic needs to show, not be hidden as you have done (assuming, of course, you're after additional support from the Team!).

John,

Thanks for all the help. I started using the new version 5.4 and everything seems to be working fine. I was not able to figure out what I was doing wrong, but i am happy now. I am sorry about hiding the link, I thought that satisfied the requirements. I will be happy to show the link in the footer of the site.

Have a great day.

You're welcome.

To be fair, if you think about it, we're giving you a great product for free, but you (were) hiding the source of that product. Doesn't make much sense from our viewpoint, yes?

That said, we appreciate your understanding and compliance.
