Milonic JavaScript Menu

ronnie

thanks kev for the work & elaborate answer.
regarding the menu positioning, it seemed like the most obvious to place the 2 menus (one horiz + one vert) each in a <TD> along with all the other stuff.
please explain how i get the same result (postion:relative is good enough?) without table bound menus ...

wishing you an all Mac monday!

goodnight (sunrise over here), r.

updated to RC28, nothing new..

i've been seeing this problem on every IE/Win i came accross with, i'd appreciate if you could recheck.

10x john, will keep on updating.

ronnie

1. yep, i should be upgrading. will do..
2. maybe i didn't describe the problem clearly: the window appears fine except there's about 800-1000 of extra window size (in white) to the left of the viewed window, meaning there's also a horizontal scrollbar present.

hi all,

when using the menu in right-to-left page (either <BODY DIR=RTL> or in <DIV DIR=RTL>) the menu doesn't do exactly what's expected.

2 main issues are:
1. a lot of screen space in inserted to the left of menu (view URL).
2. _subOffsetLeft and probably also other properties cannot be adjusted ...

ronnie

actually, all that's needed are 3 images (6 if using rollover):
2 are left&right edges, and 1 is background image to sit behind the text. use it with the repeat-x style to cover up the whole text area of the menu item.

guess i'll leave this to the experts here, but to simply answer your question:
yes. once you're accepted for a non-profit license, you'll be able to download the version without any forced milonic links.

mind you:
1. you agree to link to milonic.com using the menus somewhere on your homepage.
2 ...

i'm counting on you here, boy!

ronnie

heya,

you reckon there's some possible workaround here?
can't i "lie" to milonic about the URL or change the document URL w/o refreshing?

oh, what happens if i have the SAME URL in all menu items? will it highlight all of them or just the later one?

anyways, many thanks for the help,
r. :)

ronnie

well, what i mean to ask is this:
when clicking on a menu and after the page reloads, the menu shows the selected menu item in a different "on" style.

(e.g.: when clicking on "support/about milonic" at http://www.milonic.com, you will get the "support" and "about milonic" items highlighted on the ...

ronnie

no no, thank you!

just keep up the good work and i'd be happy to give in my share,
10x, r.

ronnie

sorry, don't worry about it,
i simply missed out on the ending of Step 2 when applying for a license.

will take care of it ASAP...

Step 2
Make sure all copyrights are intact on all files and that there is a visable link back to the Milonic site somewhere on the page(s) using the menu.

10x, r ...

ronnie

hi john,

i've been recently qualified for a license, on condition that i have a link to milonic from my website.
this is great news and i'd be more than happy to add a link, but i don't know where am i expected to add it? where to? etc?

best, r.

ronnie

yep. exactemundo!

BUT , note that this is a problem specific to IE5.00.x . higher versions of IE render form-elements/iframes/right-to-left just fine using the milonic5 menus.

meaning the problem may lie in the milonic code, and it may not. solving the top-left (0,0) coordinate issue may not be ...

ronnie

i forgot to mention the same problematic browsers also exhibit problems regarding IFRAMEs and form elements.
this may be even more important to fix (if at all possible), since the menus are pretty much useless once they're hidden behind the iframe and not on top of it.
(for example, when i try to ...

ronnie

hi andy & kevin,

here are a number of screenshots, taken on different computers.
the main difference is that problems happen to appear on IE version 5.00.x

visit:

currently i'm uploading 2 examples and will add some more when i get back home in ...

ronnie

i've been trying the openstyle="rtl"; and also played with the _subOffsetLeft properties but none help -- i still can't see a decent menu on a page going from right-to-lefty (<BODY DIR="RTL">).

what happens is that the submenu items are mostly on the far right, no clear regularity there.

when ...

ronnie

take a look at the following response:

directing to the following solution:

i think resizing the iframe on the flight should do the trick..

ciao, r.

ronnie

tried it out on IE6 + Win2KPro - it works just fine!
a pretty impressive site, well done!

p.s. - take a look at the rightmost menu (i don't remember its name), viewing it causes a problem where the menu stops working altogether.

cheers, r.

ronnie

well, i just realized you're Andy, not Fred.
woopsy...
