Milonic JavaScript Menu

I already found the error: I forgot to include tooltips.js module.

I have a menu definition file that works fine, but once I add:

;onfunction=showtip('Whatever text');

I get the following error:

Line: 17
Char: 5697
Error: Object expected
Code: 0
URL: http://localhost/

Could someone explain what I do wrong?

Is showtip() as smart as aI() in this respect?

I just was trying to debug a PHP generated menu file that wouldn't show the menu. Thanks to your answers I will now look for other possible causes.

Could it be that you cannot use all these foreign characters in menu text? I have the impression that the semicolon in there will be interpreted as end of text, is that right? How would you do it the right way?

And how would you use semicolons in menu text? Can you escape it with backslash?

Could it be that this works only for ablsolute screen locations, not for relative. I try to incorporate two menus relatively to html table cells. I guess there is no way to include the function drawmenus() twice in two different cells to produce two relative menus in these cells?
