Milonic JavaScript Menu

tootricky

Is this even possible for use in a fluid layout? I know the normal menu has issues with relative positioning and you need to place the main menu in a cell or div on its own, but obviously this is not possible with the List based menu.

Can anybody share any light?

Have you tried moving the "itemwidth=140;" from the style properties to the menu properties (just below the orientation:horizontal)

That should work.

Hello all,
I saw in another post ( http://www.milonic.com/mfa/2005-December/006832.html ) about how the syntax had changed for tooltips.

As mentioned, I had upgraded to v5.736 and v1.4 on tooltips.js and they work fine anywhere I use them as part of a menu item (aI(...) )

but there are a couple ...

G'day,

Now I'm experiencing a new issue.

Since adding Milonic DHTML Menu to the pages, the page images don't always render in the correct positions the first time using IE6. (So far I've only tried it with IE6.) Usually they appear in the right vertical position, but typicall way left of where ...

I have posted separately on this same problem. I was on v5.66 which did exactly what you want but v5.736 messed things up. I was advised to use the pre-release of 5.737 which indeed spreads the menu 100% but does not do a very good job spacing out the menu items.

I find it disappointing that new ...

Andy,

Any luck with finding an answer to this problem?

You have styled nearly every html element directly in your trust-primary-milonic.css, and since the menu uses those html elements (especially tables) AND can read that css file it is following those styles...

I would personally always use classes to overide core html tags (apart from html and body ...

I was just going to post up a non-working example when I had a epiphany and answered my own question...

...I had td { vertical-align: top } in my css. That's why the arrow was always in the upper left corner. When I remove the td { style }, the arrow behaves normally. <SIGH>...

However, I still ...

tootricky

no way to prevent the menu from reading the css file I think but you could change your body to a class:

.body {

attributes...

}

and then

<body class="body">

I think this should work.

in the center for me in firefox, safari and opera!?

tootricky

Firefox for Windows and all Mac browsers DO NOT work

tootricky

yep you won't get much joy with middle:left or in fact middle:anything it just doesn't like it... but subimageposition="left"; should at least put the image on the left hand side.

Now if I do that to my own menu it puts my subimage slap bang in the (vertical) middle on the left! But it doesn't ...

Ahhhh! Just spotted the problem:

screenposition: "top:center"

SHOULD BE:

screenposition: "top;center"

semicolon rather than colon should fix it

tootricky

The same problem is also present in Safari for Mac...

I believe the problem is related to you declaring the width of the menu as a percentage OR the way you have declared the screenposition attribute: I would try this (It works just like you want on several sites that I have)

itemwidth=100 ...

Can nobody from Milonic help with this bug?

tootricky

Could we have a link, please? Or post your menu_data.js file here so I can see the way you have the tooltip in that file.

tootricky

Okay, I can offer slightly more information:

my links are like this:

<a href="#" onmouseover="showtip('Here is some tool tip text')" onmouseout="popdown()">text</a>

Windows Browsers:
Opera and IE for Windows - the tooltip displays as normal
Firefox - no tooltip

Mac Browsers:
Safari, Camino ...

I have just upgraded to the newest versions of the menu and tooltips but I have a problem. Tooltips used in <a href> tags just aren't working anymore. I noticed that the syntax for calling a tooltip in the menu has changed from:

onfunction=showtip(blahblah...

to

tootip=blahblah....

(wouldn't it ...

I found this thread interesting as I have had the same problem and the pdf file supplied aboce is very useful! But my post is about something else... unfortunately your menu... well your submenus on the home page are completely 'broken' in Safari...like REALLY badly broken, and also in ...

I had the same problem, but I just use a preload javascript to load the graphics used in the menu.
