Yes, the new site is great.

I was a little surprised to see the login screen, as I hadn't received an email with my password. But I just requested another one and was in immediately.

One thing I would suggest is an 'about the menu' page, explaining what the menu is, what it does, why it is better than other menu systems (if you have the space to list the many features!), a little bit about Java and, most importantly, which JS files are needed and what they do.

Forgive me if you've already done a page, but I still haven't finished exploring the new site yet.

Would it also be possible to have automatic login, just like with the forum?

Can I also suggest paying by PAYPAL? Although I have the educational licence I would like to contribute something for the menu.

Anyone who gets the menu for free could then donate what they can.

Auto login would definetly be my biggest request. That would be great. The auto login feature of the forum is hardcoded into the phpBB software package, but I don't doubt Woolley could implement it fairly easily.

Oh and there is alittle info on the menu at http://milonic.com/aboutus.php where he describes briefly what the menu can do and its history.

Oh and I know I told Andy this in email, but GREAT SITE! :D

I noticed Milonic don't have a registration number in their code! As a commercial business I think they should apply for one!

Andy,

Looks like I started something here, but its not a gripe, just trying to help.
Please don't burn out, we might need you later 8)

I just posted this link in reply to sample 11, a number of samples, not all, do this background overlap in my latest browser, that's as far as I can go on this computer is IE 5.1.6

http://www.geocities.com/maz_arti/example11.gif

I'm having a really difficult time reading the site font, if you have time, can you use one native to the mac or embed it please?

Thankyou, really appreciate the work!

maz :D

Note about website, on the styleproperties page, a couple of the syles listed begin with the wording "Sets the Border Width for any global menu style. " even though I dont think that have anything to do with border width. Maybe I'm wrong. THe styles that say this are fontweight, subimage, subimagepadding, subimageposition.

Jeez I thought I might gotten away with that comment :lol:

Oh well :P

Seriously though, we only want 100% perfection from now on , the website is far from finished and needs many tweaks and adjustments. We plan to get there over the next few weeks.

Seems to me, for a first run at the thing you've done a darn good job of it. Your quest for perfestion is what keeps these folks here - not to mention what drives you crazy as well :lol:

I would suspect I speak for all when I say, "Thank You! Job well done."
