A while back, Andy helped me tweak a electronic form that used the menu to dynamically generate "pseudo" pull-down menus in some blank text fields.
Has always worked fine... but when I update from 5.727 to the latest 5.735... the "pseudo" menu no longer works.
Scroll down and click (or tab) into any field under, let's say, "Instrument",:
Version 5.727:
http://rimea.org/forms/allstate/test1.html
Version 5.735:
http://rimea.org/forms/allstate/test2.html
A clue... IE says "mm_style is undefined" as the JS error. Menu still works fine with my main site menu, though... so it's gotta be something with the "pseudo" pull-down data file.
I will paste the "pseudo" menu data here:
Code: Select all
[size=9][color=darkred]var itemNum
function setText()
{
currentCat=$tL(_m[getMenuByItem(_itemRef)][1])
if(currentCat=="schools")
{
if(_mi[_itemRef][1]==" ")
{
document.forms['Simple']['School'+itemNum].value=""
}
else
{
document.forms['Simple']['School'+itemNum].value=_mi[_itemRef][1]
}
}
if(currentCat=="grades")
{
if(_mi[_itemRef][1]==" ")
{
document.forms['Simple']['Grade'+itemNum].value=""
}
else
{
document.forms['Simple']['Grade'+itemNum].value=_mi[_itemRef][1]
}
}
if(currentCat=="instruments")
{
if(_mi[_itemRef][1]==" ")
{
document.forms['Simple']['Instrument'+itemNum].value=""
}
else
{
document.forms['Simple']['Instrument'+itemNum].value=_mi[_itemRef][1]
}
}
if(currentCat=="preferences")
{
if(_mi[_itemRef][1]==" ")
{
document.forms['Simple']['Preference'+itemNum].value=""
}
else
{
document.forms['Simple']['Preference'+itemNum].value=_mi[_itemRef][1]
}
}
