Menu conversion failed

cmer · Post by **cmer** » Thu Aug 05, 2004 5:03 pm

For an unknown reason, the menu conversion from 3.0 to 5.0 failed. No error is reported by the converter but the menus simply don't work.

Also, is there a way to have the menu appear just below a text link? I'd rather not use absolute positionning because of the way different browsers render stuff.

Thanks

PS: Here's my 3.0 menu...

menunum=0;menus=new Array();_d=document;function addmenu(){menunum++;menus[menunum]=menu;}function dumpmenus(){mt="<script language=javascript>";for(a=1;a<menus.length;a++){mt+=" menu"+a+"=menus["+a+"];"}mt+="<\/script>";_d.write(mt)}

function WindowWidth() { if (document.body && document.body.clientWidth) { window.innerWidth = document.body.clientWidth; } return window.innerWidth; }
function GetOffset() { if ((WindowWidth() - 760) / 2 > 0) { return (WindowWidth() - 760) / 2; } else { return 0; }}

if(navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE 6.0")>0)

URL? There's more than just this we need to look at.

What error are you getting when trying to run the page with the menus?

OS? Browser?

Also, always post code using the [code][/code] tags. Much can get lost when not doing so.

http://www.moncamp.com (old v3 menu).

Once converted, I don't see any menu in the browser, and no error is given.

Sorry about the code tag... I didn't know.

Thanks!

cmer,
What we need, if possible is for you to put up a test page with the converted menu on it so we can see what's happening. The old menu is working so, we need to see why the new one isn't. Is it possible that the paths to the 3 program files [milonic_src.js, mmenudom.js and menuns4.js] is incorrect?

None will show since you haven't told any of them to be alwaysvisible=1; Also, if you leave the offsets and positions as they are the menus will overlap.

Ruth,

Where do I change that?

cmer · Post by **cmer** » Sun Aug 08, 2004 5:46 am

I did find where to change it, but now the opened menu is always there. I need a dropdown menu... please help.

Hi,

You want alwaysvisible on the main menu, then the drop down submenu's shouldn't have it, because they will only be seen when they are moused over.

Was there something else?

I suggest you might take a look at the read me files that came with the menu that you downloaded, and the beginners' section here on the forum which gives an explanation of the menu, how to do styles, how to do forms. What you have right now is a menu data file that implies that all the menus in it are main menus because you have screenposition and top and left positions set for all of them. Since you converted the files one of those has to be the main menu, that's the one you set to alwaysvisible, and set it's position on the page, then get rid of the screen positions and top, left positions in the other menus.
