Milonic JavaScript Menu

Hey John thanks for your reply... I just found this out though. the problem has nothing to do with the computer... it only happens in internet explorer (i hardly use internet explorer on my computer so i didnt notice until today) so the image swap works fine in mozilla and other netscape-based ...

I see that this menu is a "work in progress" so i understand if there is no fix right now... but i was just wondering if there is a fix for this:

if you go to http://www.alabu.com/ibc/ you will notice that when you mousover the menu items a new background image appears. I've notice that on some ...

Thank you!! looks like the <!-- --> is what fixed it... as far as taking language out. the XHTML 1.0 strict validator told me its not a valid attribute, and also that type is a required attribute(:D dont ask me i dont keep up with these rules)... and same thing with the three </script> in a row, the ...

i've previously had some issues validating with the menu in HTML but thanks to you guys i got those all straightened out... now for XHTML 1.0 Strict. :( im not really sure what the problem is but here's the site i'm working on.

http://www.alabu.com/ibc/

and the validation link:

http://validator ...

if you check out http://www.alabu.com/twincity/ notice that the separators and buttons dont extend the full width of the menu, any ideas? thanks... menu data file is at http://www.alabu.com/twincity/java/menu_data.js

just upgraded, (http://www.alabu.com) i wish i saved the old files but i didnt. it used to be that from "search" and all the buttons on the right used to be pressed tight against the right of the screen, and from "testimonials" and all the buttons to the left were up against the left of the screen ...

understood! You may be right, maybe getting rid of free licenses all together isnt a bad idea.

:-/ you have a good point, sorry for the controversy . I'll be more considerate next time, after all i do believe the people who did the work to make the menu should definitly be able to decide the rules when it comes to giving it away. Sorry everyone...

~Hal

ok, please understand i am not trying to be a jerk... were are probably going to end up buying a license anyway, because the menu is a good product... but, if i am building a website for a youth group thats not related to a religious organization in any way, i do qualify, but if i build the exact ...

Just to be clear, I volunteer to maintain a website for a church youth group, would we qualify for a free license with a link back to milonic? I would think yes (because were non-profit) except...

If you want to use the menu and you are a company or you promote a company or your website has ANY ...

yea probably, but whatever the case thanks everyone for finding the solution!

~Hal

thank you everyone!!! i decided to go with 100% width and use two transparent dummy menu items at each end. looks quite nice i think, it'l look even better when i finish filling the menu with stuff. thanks again!

~Hal

ok... i changed it to item height, works wonderfully. id rather not take that approach to centering :P its a lot of work and like you said its not very elegant plus would look different on different resolutions (i have a big monitor and browse at 1280x1024)... :-/ i comented out the filters for now ...

yea i do use w3c validator... i would really like to keep it xhtml strict if i can, i dont really have a need for deprecated tags i dont think. i tried using CDATA, i think i implemented it correctly, yes? still stuck on centering issues...

~Hal

i made the menu a solid color so you could can see now that the actual menu is centered but the contents of the menu isnt... for some reason that extra bit of menu on the right doesnt show up if i set a bgimage, it only shows if i have onbgcolor set.

i think i did all the stuff you said, still no luck, the menu is shorter than 25px (so i think the font size is probably about right but the menu isnt tall enough) and also its still off-center. thanks again

ok you have a good point, i canned the fading script, now back to my original problems on http://www.alabu.com/hal/indexn.html i got my bgimage swapping fixed, the only problems now is that i can't specify a height for the menu, and i cant get the contents of the menu centered. i want the height to ...

hmmm, works on my machine (xp pro)... ive tried it in NS7, mozilla, opera, and IE of course. if you mouse over a link under "Reviews" it should fade to purple. anyways, if you open a submenu and move the mouse up and down it rapidly the links fade, sometimes the color will stick and wont fade out ...

ok, i understand the filters only work in IE... but how do i stop the link fading script from fading menu items? thanks again

~Hal

hmm, now my search box doesnt show up, and the links still fade if you go over them fast... the menu data file for the testing page is at http://www.alabu.com/java/testing/menu_datatest.js

EDIT: ok i got the search box working (forgot the closing semicolon after type=form ) i just need to figure ...
