"type=form;" won't work

I am using the latest menu. My menu data is:

aI("text=<FORM METHOD=GET ACTION=/Harvest/cgi-bin/search.cgi name=frmSearch id=frmSearch style='margin:4px 0px 0px 10px'
><input type=text name=query value='Search Site' size=14 style='font-size:9px' onActivate=`this.value=''`><INPUT NAME=br
oker TYPE=hidden value=lind><INPUT NAME=weightflag TYPE=hidden value=off><INPUT NAME=opaqueflag TYPE=hidden value=on><IN
PUT NAME=descflag TYPE=hidden value=on><INPUT NAME=csumflag TYPE=hidden value=off><INPUT NAME=maxlineflag TYPE=hidden va
lue=30><INPUT NAME=maxresultflag TYPE=hidden value=3000><INPUT NAME=sort TYPE=hidden value=by-rank><INPUT NAME=maxobjfla
g TYPE=hidden value=500><INPUT NAME=attribute TYPE=hidden value='headings type file-size'><img src=/images/spacer.gif bo
rder=0 width=5><img src=/images/search_go.gif border=0 onClick=`frmSearch.submit()`></FORM>;type=form;align=center;valig
n=bottom;onborder=;onbgcolor=;")

The search box first shows, then disappear. The text "MILONIC" shows instead. The actual returned html code is as follows:

Code: Select all

<DIV id=lnk7 style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; DISPLAY: block; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; WIDTH: 100%; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none; FONT-STYLE: normal; TEXT-ALIGN: center; TEXT-DECORATION: none" onfocus=_iF0C(7) onclick=$K(7) name="mM1" href="undefined" a1="<FORM METHOD=GET ACTION=/Harvest/cgi-bin/search.cgi name=frmSearch id=frmSearch style='margin:4px 0px 0px 10px'><input type=text name=query value='Search Site' size=14 style='font-size:9px' onActivate=this.value=''><INPUT NAME=broker TYPE=hidden value=lind><INPUT NAME=weightflag TYPE=hidden value=off><INPUT NAME=opaqueflag TYPE=hidden value=on><INPUT NAME=descflag TYPE=hidden value=on><INPUT NAME=csumflag TYPE=hidden value=off><INPUT NAME=maxlineflag TYPE=hidden value=30><INPUT NAME=maxresultflag TYPE=hidden value=3000><INPUT NAME=sort TYPE=hidden value=by-rank><INPUT NAME=maxobjflag TYPE=hidden value=500><INPUT NAME=attribute TYPE=hidden value='headings type file-size'><img src=/images/spacer.gif border=0 width=5><img src=/images/search_go.gif border=0 onClick=frmSearch.submit()></FORM>" a2="undefined" a3="undefined">MILONIC</DIV>

What's wrong?

Hey perl -

You've got a bunch of single quotes ' in there which I think it might not like. Either don't use them at all or escape them.

This is a licensed menu - correct?

Yes, it is licensed. I added "\" before each signal quote, it still won't work.

We did buy the license for our domain (ourdomain.com); but I was testing the code on a developement box (wde.ourdomain.com). Is there any problem?

Shouldn't be. Subdomains are typically OK. It's the domain that the license looks at.

Why the form first shows then disappear? Since the test domain is not public accessible, I couldn't give you the url.

I made the text attribute of aI as simple as possible.

Code: Select all

aI("text=`<FORM METHOD=GET ACTION=/Harvest/cgi-bin/search.cgi><input type=text name=query value=Search><input type=Submit value=Search></FORM>`;type=form;align=center;")

It's still not working.

Hi perldev,

The aI() code you posted... this is, of course, inside of a menu definition... e.g., with(milonic=new menuname("Search")){ etc., etc. I'm assuming that it's the only item inside the menu, correct? I used your posted code to make a "Search" submenu to test. I can't reproduce the problem with your code (it works fine for me). So... two questions:

(1) You said that you're using the latest menu, but your description of the item changing to a MILONIC link makes me suspect that it may be not quite the latest (there have been recent changes to the way that works). Can you check your milonic_src.js and confirm what version you are using exactly?

(2) How are you opening the menu? Is it, by chance, with the popup() function?

Milonic DHTML Menu - JavaScript Website Navigation System.
