Milonic JavaScript Menu

aI("text=something;target=top.hidden;url=something.cfm");

The menu itself is located in a deeper frameset than the hidden frame I'm trying to execute the something.cfm in. That's why I'm referencing it as "top.hidden" instead of just "hidden".

It doesn't seem to like it when I say "top.hidden". I ...

Why is there such resistance to providing support for frames??? I've read all the comments on frames and I can't help but respond that frames is still a very real functional component of site design. Some designers even build frames within frames to acheive the type of functionality that meets ...

This was for an IE-only internet browser app so I didn't investigate beyond that. I do however have a confident feeling for cross-browser functionality because an actual X-coordinate was available. My guess is like yours -- that an offset to the X-coord would be the only variable to deal with.

Bit by bit we got it!

Thanks for your help.

Here is the code -- some minor alterations regarding the frame. I removed some specific-use code I had in there.

//distantMenu - opens up milonic menuName inside of mainmenu_body
function distantMenu( menuName )
{
parent.frames['mainmenu_body ...

I'm getting an error:

'_gs' is null or not an object

//distantMenu - opens up milonic menuName inside of mainmenu_body
function distantMenu( menuName )
{
top.hidden_storage.document.form.mainmenu_vert.value="1";

strItemPos = gpos(gmobj("el"+_itemRef));
parent.frames['mainmenu_body'].spos ...

Maybe the question to ask Andy is this:

"How does your menu know where to position the submenus on the X-axis in a horz/vert menu combination?"

It will be interesting to hear his response on this.

Granted, this is sort of an unsupported question in a way because you really only need this kind of ...

The only thing that makes me persist is this idea I have about how Milonic links horizontal and vertical menus internally so that they're always aligned with each other when used in a horz/vert configuration. It makes me think the data is somewhere just waiting to be accessed.

Sorry about this post -- I just realized that whenever I move focus off of the horizontal menu (even to its corresponding vertical menu), the vertical menu goes away as I'm attempting to select an option from it.

If I can figure out a workaround I'll repost with the right code ...

Is there a way to access the X-coordinate of each item in a horizontal menu so I can line up my vertical menus appropriately?

Before you respond, please note that my horizontal menu is in one frame and my verticals are in another frame. Therefore, the nice automatic vertical menu adjustment we've ...

And as for the frames. This is a site from someone on here 'squills' who was working to get them, and says they work well. The site uses the unsupported frames code posted here. http://www.milonic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2753

and this is the site.

Basically what the problem is is this.

I wanted to have the horizontal menu (with vertical submenus) "FIXED" on the screen in one position regardless of how much scrolling happened with the page -- it would still remain fixed in one position.

IE doesn't support real fixed positioning via CSS2. You ...

I'm trying to figure out a way to get IE to use fixed positioning with the menu. I've found a hack -- now all I need to do is find a way to get the menu to work with the hack and I'll be all set.

Hi -- I'd like to be able to fix the position of the menu so that it doesn't scroll with the rest of the page. Is there a way to do this without having to resort to a follow-menu type of scheme?

Thanks in advance.
