Milonic JavaScript Menu

This capability was added in a fairly recent update to the treemenu.js.

The function you'd want to use would be:
openBranchByName("Finance");

Make sure you have the most recent treemenu, and it should work fine. If I'm remembering correctly, it was added back in September...so if you've downloaded ...

it appears to be working now.

i'll keep an eye out for the update to the treemenu module.

thanks for the help, the update, and for the great product.

Hi Andy,

The pre-release doesn't appear to fix the issue. The treemenu still seems to behave the same way...the only difference is now IE and Opera do it too.

I guess a step in the right direction is all the browsers seem to have the same behavior now. :)

Also, with the pre-release, my normal ...

Hello again...this problem doesn't quite seem to be fixed yet. While the newer releases of the menu corrected the behavior of not responding to the links in Firefox, the menu seems to ignore the "target" attribute.

I thought maybe it was something in my menu definition, but I can't find anything ...

Thanks for the update, and no worries on it taking a little while...just glad to hear it's been fixed.

Good guess Ruth ;)

I believe that adding the / in front of images should take care of the problem.

example:
overbgimage="images/Dhtml_Menu/backon_beige.gif";

change to...

overbgimage="/TESTSITE/images/Dhtml_Menu/backon_beige.gif";

In this case the path needs the /TESTSITE/, but when the files ...

the new version of treemenu.js seems to take care of this.

from the release notes:
Added new methods to the treemenu.js module, openBranchByName(), closeBranchByName(), clickBranch(), openAllBranches and closeAllBranches() modules, documentation to follow

I tried using openBranchByName() and it ...

I'm hoping for an update as well. My menu appears to work fine in Opera 8, as well sa IE, but Firefox (version 1.0.6, by the way) is still a problem.

Any updates would be appreciated. Thank you.

yeah, it's possible. as Ruth mentioned, it uses targetfeatures.

using your example, it'd look something like this:

aI("text=Link Text;url=http://www.__My_Link__.com;target=miniwin;targetfeatures=toolbar=0,location=0,directories=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=1,resizable=0,width=800,height=600;");

Hi Ruth,

Thanks for the reply and for looking into the problem for me. The time spent is certainly appreciated.

hi, i'm having a problem with the treemenu bolt-on where none of the links in the menu are working. the menu expands and collapses as expected, but when clicking on a menu item that is a link, the page never loads.

the menu works fine in IE, but not firefox.

Link to the menu

any help would be ...
