Milonic JavaScript Menu

ahoy! yer a genius baby =D

I have 3 IEs running on the same machine, technically only IE6 is *installed* but 5.01sp2 and 5.5sp2 have the exe's and some dll's laying around so they are useable for testing. I betcha this is the first "bug" I've found when doing this, actually, Andy found it. Thanks ...

jgillet: I didn't bother uploading the new menu bits to the server as it wasn't helping locally. Andy's spot on though, fixed it good, took out the imagewidth bits and that fixed the previously mentioned image scale problem, all new files are up now with emi colons in place and all.

It's working in ...

thanks for the help jgillet, twas happy to have received a few plausible responses/easy fixes but alas, neither worked :|

swapped out the files for the latest code, didn't work, minded my semi colons, didn't work. Same errors as before but the new code jacked the image sizes in the top level badly ...

I looked at October's browser stats for this site and if you take the top 35 configs (OS/browser) and get rid of all the known bots, Win/IE5 accounted for 38% of the traffic.

It's critical that it work in that browser. I saw nowhere in the documentation or forums etc that said it wasn't supported ...

This menu implementation is working perfectly in Moz, NN, FB, Opera, IE 5.5, 6... but IE5.01sp2.... I'm sitting here with IE5, 5.5 and 6.0 running the menu side by side and the menu works fine in 5.5 & 6 but it's currently flat unusable in 5

The working example is here

mouseover PRODUCTS reveals ...

yes, you may be right on the filters, I've suspected the same for a long time, shame about that too. Need to run some tests I guess. Thanks for jogging my memory on it

milonic v6 : submenu cross browser animations

the bgimage is 20px high because it can sometimes take a browser longer to draw the page with a bunch of 1px images than with 20px images (or 32 or 72 or whatever). At 560 bytes I think it's hardly an issue either way. Especially since we're talking about T1 or better speeds. No dialers.

Any idea ...

the menu is still here: http://new.centerline-inc.com/menufiveoh.html

I think the reason they weren't seeing the bgimage was a processor issue, they'd see it everntually, seriously a 5 second wait or somesuch. This was a guy on Win XP and IE6+.

Frankly tho, this is one of the reasons I upgraded ...

heartfelt pleasantries:
bah, apologies for dropping out of my own thread, thought it was dead. The email notifications stopped coming. I was getting 2 notices each time someone posted to this thread, now none =[

Anyhoo, Andy: good stuff and thanks a ton! Great menu system

Und you mods, thanks ...

Ahoy! look what I found when I formatted the javascript for easier reading:

mind my manners?! pft!
*pokes Dave and John with a sharp stick... mmm, soft*
Seriously, apologies if I offended, it was never my intent.

Yes I did finally see the border bit, it was down in each individual menu chunk, in the end I liked the white after dropping them all a pixel.

By the scrunched ...

well I love to pick on the old hands - got solution for the image size and 1px border issues?

=D

I've got the new one to an acceptable state, THANKS very much to everyone who chimed in.

The IE filters seem to tax the processor a bit. Anyone got info on which effects suck what amount of resources, or a comparisoon type look? They're barely acceptable on a 500mhz Celeron but a 2+ghz P4 does fine ...

odd stuff to say the least. I was at my office when I posted that, on a WAMP test server. I uploaded it to the liveservertestbed and no js error this morning from home.

Downloaded it to my test server here at home, also WAMP and no js error either.

And the fitful opera was at the office as well, 7 ...

apologies, I was responding to the last post on page 1 of this thread. Id that entirely too often on phpBBs, I frequent a UBB where a single page has gone up to 80 posts or so, it's created assumptions, I need to retrain myself =)

Finally sprung for the license today when I happened by looking for an upgrade, 3.x was a little creaky. I saw the converter for menu_array and wrongly assumed that would be the whole of conversion ;)

After spending several hours chasing around the new site looking for answers I've fixed a few ...

check your status bar (assumes ie) and you'll notice a js error as well

well, yeah, that makes sense =)

thanks a ton, that appears to have worked, though I've seen something similar *1* time since, I'm hoping it was simply an eveil apparition. Again, thanks!

I understand but as this is in development I'm not allowed to show it, I'm sure you'll understand.

I have however uploaded the menu_array.js for download here . Sorry I didn't think of that before.

The mmenu.js file is untouched and the script tags calling them is directly inside (below) the ...

argh!

I just posted this same issue here but in regards to IE6!

I see by the site posted here and the one in Mr jgillett's profile, there is no solution to this yet? It's a known issue? Can you point me to a thread where this has been discussed already? I haven't had much luck finding anything ...
