Milonic JavaScript Menu

Hi Ruth
Thanks for your reply. This is not easy to spot.

On the main menu there are two tooltips
Guestbook and Curate's Pages

The tooltip called first continues to work but the other tooltip dosn't.
It does not matter which is called first

Hi,
I posted this some time ago but I have had no replies
Can no-one help with this?

After downloading and installing Netsape 6.2 I have checked my site and I find that tooltips sometimes dont appear or may appear for about half a second only. The fault occurs when the site is viewed form the web or from my hard drive

These tooltips never fail in IE

You are quite right. I have been trying to support an out of date browser.
On checking I find that only 2% of my visitors use Netscape and of those none are V4 browsers.

I am happy to use any page that works on my system and also pass W3C verification.

Thanks again to all who helped me with this ...

I cannot beleive that, after all this effort and such a good result in IE, I am going to have to abandon my menu driven search form because of the shortcomings of the Netscape browser. :x

Is everyone having the same problems with Netscape or is it lack of experience on my part?

I would also pose ...

I have discovered that if I remove all code to do with tables the page loads in netscape.

However I have now discovered that the form loads BEHIND other objects in NETSCAPE only.

Is there a way round this

Best wishes

Hi Ruth
I still have tooltips on the menu items "Curates Pages" and "Guestbook"

After being so elated at getting a fantastic result I have just been brought down to earth with a bump !!
Viewed in IE the page is fine with no errors reported but if I check the page in Netscape 4.7 the load stops ...

Thanks Ruth,

I have done exactly what I wanted to do. I put the sub-menu in a table so that I could border it and add bgcolor and fonts to the first row to simulate a caption. Thanks to all who helped on this topic. Fantastic result.

If your interested to see the final result the URL is

Hi Kevin,
Yes - that did it: the link now opens OK

The example I posted was just a simple test to se if it was possible.
Now that I know that it is I have a specific task to perform, hopefuly using this method.

I want to put my site serarch facility within the menu so that it will be available on ...

Hi John,
I have spotted the offending code giving the "error on page" message.

However - I have posted a page completely stripped of everything but the Milonic menu so there can be no conflicts.
The link in the tooltip is still inactive. I think that the clue here is the fact that I still get the ...

Hi ruth, thanks for your reply
I still have the same problem - the tooltip appears OK but the link is inactive. When I click the link I still get the statusbar message
"javascript:void(0)"

I am using the tooltips.js plug in - do I need anything else to enable html in the tooltip?

My menu line ...

I am trying to put a link in a tooltip window.

I note that some html commands eg bold work OK

I have included this line of code in my menu ver 5.12

aI("text=test html popup;onfunction=showtip('<a href= &acute;staff_saviour.html&acute; >Go to Staff Page</a>');separatorsize=20;");

The tooltip ...

Thanks Kevin,

Your code worked perfectly. I have used it on 2 items of my main menu The right alignment also tidies up the menu text.

Thanks very much

Derek

Ok Ruth, I have done as you sugest and put the space in the graphic.

Thanks to all who contributed to the solution of this problem

Hi Ruth,
Thanks very much for the code. (now I realize that white spaces can disable a line of code I might get somewhere !!)
I have combined the code with a Milonic tooltip and everything works OK and the graphic appears after the text as I wanted. However I need to put some spaces after the text ...

Hi Ruth

I am an absolute novice with javascript code. I cannot work out how to apply your solution. The code
aI("text=menu text here;image=gif/info.gif;url=http://www.my_link.com/;separatorsize=0") work fine but puts the image to the left of the script"Menu text here"
Can you give me the detailed ...

Hi John,

Thanks for your reply. I pasted your code
aI("text=menu text here;image=gif/info.gif;url=http://www.my_link.com/;separatorsize=0;imagealign=right;");
into my menu but the image still appears before the text !!

I want to put a small grahic AFTER my menu text.
Using the following I can position the image before the text
aI("text= menu text here;image=gif/info.gif;url=http://www.my_link.com;;separatorsize=0")

How do I position the graphic AFTER the munu text?

I seem to remember that this was possible on ...

:D
Thanks very much to all who helped me with this.
Kevin was spot on and I have used his line of code with a small mod to give separation between the icons and the rest of the menu.

I have uploaded the latest version of the page to http://www.dfielding.co.uk/index.html and the code is in http ...

Hi John,

I dont think the code you suggest will do what I want. Ruth was exactly right when she said I want to keep my vertical menu but have 2 links within the same aI so that they appear on the same line of a vertical menu
The finished code could look something like this
aI("image=jpg/milonic.jpg ...
