Milonic JavaScript Menu

Upon reviewing my web server log files, I've noticed a major issue: It seems as though the images called by the menu (I'm only using the subimage) are not being cached and reused (even though it's the same for all menus). I've tested on IE6.1 and NS7 on different platforms, and the problem still occ...

I do believe you can include the file straight into the menu, as long as the code output from the include is clean and you be wary of syntax (mainly quotes). The include is done server-side, generating the table, and then at client-side, the menu renders the output of that code (the table). If you c...

Ensure that her security settings in IE are not set to "High" (at least for your site) and that Active Scripting is enabled under security.

Ensure your friend does not have javascript turned off in the browser. Another way to check is to add a <noscript></noscript> tag to the page. Any browser that does not have javascript turned on, or that is unable to display javascript, will see whatever is between those tags.

I thought as much. Supposedly the next major release of IE is going to account for this, where the browser will take complete control over those boxes, allowing CSS to have a much greater impact on how they look, and how issues such as this are resolved. And no, it's not THAT bad ;) Just a little di...

Interesting, because I pulled the code down, fixed the errors, and could not get the menus to appear. Did you pull down the following two files? Erm, can you please check these for me... it still doesn't show the second menu... maybe if at least these look OK, I can look for the problem somehere el...

There are some other general HTML problems, but not, I think, the cause of your troubles (<table> missing </td> and </tr>, </center> out of place, missing </font>, etc.). On the contrary, I do believe this is where the problem lies. Especially because I can get both menus to work simply by using th...

They seem to check out... I compared the two and didn't notice anything wrong.. I then downloaded and used on a test page and they both displayed perfectly (Win2000 IE6). On the test page, I called each menu from a separate <TD> as follows: <table> <tr> <td><script language=JavaScript src="/men...

I was following that topic, and it was noted. But this is a separate issue, and besides, I've already tried URL encoding ;) The issue is that the menu, when it compares URLs to determine whether or not the currently viewed page is in the menu, doesn't take into account for the added info from a quer...

Different Style names for each menu, if your submenus have another style then each menu has its own submenu style also. No, you can have the same style names, just don't define them more than once. (unless of course, you want a different style on a menu) Oh OK ... Just the "Main Menu" nee...

I hadn't noticed this until just now, so I don't know if it's a new or existing bug. I don't have any older menu versions to roll back to, but I'm using RC17 build date 14OCT2003 12:55. With the Shadow filter, the shadow won't appear over <SELECT> menus. It appears everywhere except where the select...

You are correct. However, Andy's first priority is to get the menu to a final release stage. At that point they will be completely updated. Given the rapid changes to the system, I think this approach is understandable and correct. I agree. And I commend Andy on doing an outstanding job with this p...

If you just want the shoppingcart to appear in html format, like a small table, then easy enough. Since ASP is server-side, you could use the includes to create a table and then call that code from the menu. The ASP is done server-side, creating the info you need, which is ready whenever you want. O...

Ok, here is a problem:

The menus in menu_on.js and menu_off.js have to have different names.

This is definitely a feature that needs to be implemented or, if implemented, a bug that needs to be fixed. I use querystring's extensively- It helps consolidate code and provides an easier to manage interface. But the menu will not highlight the current page if the URL doesn't EXACTLY match what's ...

Just a note for those interested-

You can change the pointer of any menu item now (as of RC17) using the following syntax: Where blah= any CSS pointer name (ie cursor)

This goes into the individual menu item's line.

Thanks Andy!

I think I found the source of your issue... in the /milonic/menu_data_2.js file, I found the following line: aI("text=<script language='JavaScript'>dT();</script>;url=#;align=right;;status=#;"); I really don't think the menu is set up to handle something like that. Or could I be wrong? Eve...

The http://www.the-limes.com/milonic5_test2.html link had no issues using IE6. But I did notice a problem that you may want to clear up in menu_data_1.js and menu_data_2.js: with(milonic=new menuname("SubMenu")){ itemwidth=110; style=menuStyle; aI("text=Simons Work;showmenu=WorkMenu;u...

One quick question: Are the menu's positioned relatively or absolutely? If they are absolute, then all the information can be put in one datafile. If they are relative, or one is relative and another is absolute, then it's easier to put them in separate datafiles and call the one you need where you ...

Thanks Andy. On a similar note, it seems that when the menu is positioned over a table, and there is a CSS style for the <TABLE> tag that defines background-color, that value will override the offbgcolor value in the menu. I haven't been able to determine what all browsers this affects (because I do...
