URL paramter not working with image based menu-why? [solved]

Even though I'm setting the URL paramater on my parent menu, none of the menu items are clickable. I can attach submenus and they appear fine but the buttons themselves will not work.

it does work fine if I use plain text with the text atribute. Since this is the newest version install (I just pulled it off the website yersterday) could there be a bug in this version? I'm doing the URL parameter correctly per the documentation and examples on the website.

any thoughts on this?

thanks!

Hi,

The problem is the menu inside a nested set of divs. I just tested your menu, relative positioned in a table and it works fine. I suggest, since it is not recommended that the menu be in a div that do the top down to where the menu is as divs, and then the line with the Corporation and menu on it you make a table sized to that 17px height and then continue the rest as divs below that.

This is the page I made, only with the menu, a surrounding div and a table for the menu. Perhaps this will give you ideas on how to do it.

Code: Select all

aI("title=Coatable Items;image=btn_coatableitems_up.gif;overimage=btn_coatableitems_over.gif;pageimage=btn_coatableitems_over.gif;url=http://clients2.serverside.net/vanwestrum/?action=products;status=Coatable Items;");

drawMenus();
		</SCRIPT>
<!--End Milonic Menu--></td>
</tr>
</table></div></body>
</html>

I put the table in a div to see if the menu worked in a generic div and it does, so it is the nested divs, relative positioned and absolute positioned that is causing the problem.
