Problem with url in menu

[MacMac]

I have a very simple menu.
Data code follows

Code: Select all

_menuCloseDelay=500           // The time delay for menus to remain visible on mouse out
_menuOpenDelay=250            // The time delay before menus open on mouse over
_subOffsetTop=10              // Sub menu top offset
_subOffsetLeft=-10            // Sub menu left offset


with(topMenuStyle=new mm_style()){
	onbgcolor="#8B1C60";
	offbgcolor="transparent";
	oncolor="#ffffff";
	visitedcolor="black";
	borderwidth=0;
	separatorcolor="#ffffff";
	separatorsize="1";
	separatorpadding=5;
	padding=2;
	fontsize="8pt";
	fontstyle="normal";
	fontfamily="Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif";
	overfilter="Fade(duration=0.2);Alpha(opacity=100);";
	pointer="hand";
}

with(topSearchStyle=new mm_style()){
	onbgcolor="#8B1C60";
	oncolor="#ffffff";
	offbgcolor="#7E7E7E";
	bgimage='images/menu_bg.gif';
	borderwidth=1;
	bordercolor="black";
	borderstyle="solid";
	separatorcolor="#ffffff";
	separatorsize="1";
	padding=4;
	fontsize="8pt";
	fontstyle="normal";
	fontfamily="Verdana, Tahoma, sans-serif";
	pagecolor="black";
	pagebgcolor="#82B6D7";
	subimage="images/arrow.gif";
	subimagepadding="2";
	overfilter="Fade(duration=0.2);Alpha(opacity=100);";
	outfilter="randomdissolve(duration=0.3)";
	pointer="hand";
}


with(milonic=new menuname("Top Menu")){
	style=topMenuStyle;
	alwaysvisible=1;
	left="offset=-200";
	screenposition="top;right"
	orientation="horizontal";
	aI("text=INTRANET;url=http://info.hutchins.tas.edu.au;");
	aI("text=SCHOOL MAIL;url=http://icarus.hutchins.tas.edu.au;");
	aI("text=SEARCH;showmenu=Top Search;itemwidth=100;");
}

with(milonic=new menuname("Top Search")){
	style=topSearchStyle;
	aI("text=<FORM METHOD=GET ACTION=search.aspx name=searchIndex>SEARCH HUTCHINS <input name=criteria size=15><input type=submit value=Go></form>;type=form;");
}

drawMenus();

As can be seen from the code, there are two url links on the menu options.

The problem is, when I click on them, nothing happens!

Any ideas?

Hi Mac^2,

I tried your code in IE6/Win2K. The URLs worked, so I'm not sure what's up. What browser/os are you using? Do you have a live test site running that you could post a url to?

I am using IE 6 on Windows XP SP 1. At this stage I do not have a live version I can show you. It should not make any difference but the data file name is seach_menu_data.js

Your data works on a test site I've created, too.

Your best bet would be to upload so we can see the rest of the file structure.

Hi,
I have test page to a web server. It is just the basic menu page supplied by Milonic with the modified search_menu_data.js page above.

Try updating to the current v5.40 (technically nothing but the current version is supported, anyway). You're running 5.31a. Many fixes since then.

Thanks for that. It fixes the problem. I thought I had the latest version so I did not even consider that solution
