Milonic JavaScript Menu

Hi Mate..

Nice site btw.. 8)

I'm not sure what version of the menu you are using but I've just been having a play with version 3.5.05 and providing you have correctly set the keep alive tags for every menu (think it's the 12th comma along on the line e.g. ,,120,1,"",style1,,"left",effect,,,1 ...

I was running Zone Alarm standard for 2 years and never had an issue..

Sometimes it pays to be cheap and not buy the full version.

Hi xMANIGHTx,

Ok you know how to make it work with an onclick command instead of an onmouseover..

To make it close just put a '1' in the appropriate line in the menu_array.js file.. the one that goes..

0, // Keep Alive - Keeps the menu visible until the user moves over another menu or clicks ...

Just a little poll to allow some very frustrated people to blow off steam..

That's 'cause Netscape is crap..

Not very helpful I know but true never the less..

Some things are easier to understand if they can be seen..

The path to the images is dependant upon the location of the page, as the page loads the javascript .js file is loaded into memory as a part of that page, therefore any image reference held within the code must be correct for anywhere the page is loaded.

eg. if you have the below folder structure ...

Check out the top properties in the menu array js file..

timegap=500 // The time delay for menus to remain visible
followspeed=5 // Follow Scrolling speed
followrate=40 // Follow Scrolling Rate
suboffset_top=10; // Sub menu offset Top position
suboffset_left=10; // Sub menu offset Left position ...

Hi Silverman,

Check out the version information list..

It looks like your bug has been fixed in the latest version.. however Andy appears to of gone on holiday and forgotten to upload the new version cause the download still reads version xxxx.02 ...

I've just had another though.. the menus take advantage of the fade effect available in IE5.5 or higher check for the following line in your array..

effect = "Fade(duration=0.2);Alpha(style=0,opacity=80);Shadow(color='#777777', Direction=135, Strength=1)")

The Alpha opacity denotes the opacity of ...

Hi Ashton,

When you say menu header do you mean menus using the header tag.. if so then the header element has it's own color property in the array set up. (Last two lines of the stle set..

"DADADA", // Menu Header Font Color (Leave blank if headers are not needed)
"322856", // Menu Header ...

I use the a fixed link to the arrow in my array and it works fine..

eg.
"http://www.server.com/images/arrow.gif", // Sub Menu Image (Leave this blank if not needed)

You should find your answer in this posting..

Netscape's great like that

OK..

the way I use this menu is..

[]- Parent folder
- index.htm
-[] Javascript folder (containing mmenu.js and menu_array.js
-[] Home (example folder 1)
-[] Links (example folder 2)

index.htm is a browser detection/redirection script that redirect to a page home.htm in the home folder, it ...

Almost there you just need to put a / before the subfolder..

eg

addmenu(menu=["facility",,,120,1,"",style1,,"left",effect,,,,,,,,,,,,
,"Entrance","/facility/entrance.html",,,1


Good Luck

This is not so much a problem with the menu as with your approach to the problem..

If you use absolute links then you can specify exactly where the pages you wish to access are.. eg.

http://www.hostname.com/parent/nested.htm (this is not a valid hyperlink)

instead of the relative ../parent/nested ...

You can also add the form elements straight into the menu and call relevant JavaScript functions from these elements..
eg..

,"<form method='get' name='sform' action='javascript:void(0)' onsubmit='search(this); return false;'>Search&nbsp&nbsp;<div align=center><img src='/images/left_spacer.gif ...

target=_blank works fine for me..

You could get more detailed and use target=_window1.. this would cause the link to open in a window specified as window1. This is nice as it allows you to open other links into the same second window.
