Milonic JavaScript Menu

yeah, we have the professional license. i'll try posting again.

the problem i'm having is that when i change the menustyle, it applies the main menustyle to all menus instead of applying the main menu style and sub menu styles.

it's the first post on the second page of this thread.

thanks for ...

ruth, any progress on passing this on to someone? I'm a registered user and i've submitted a question to the registered users support but havent heard back in over a month, so this is my only shot at getting this figured out. thanks.

what about me? (stomps foot on the ground). this was my thread first, can anyone help me out?

well, i've almost got it working, but the substyle is not being applied. it's applying the new mainstyle but it's also using the mainstyle for the submenus instead of the substyle.

i'm stumped at this point. Andy? Any suggestions?

bjminihan, i had the same issue a while ago.

see thread: http://milonic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5879&highlight=

Andy chimed in and pointed me to this function he wrote to change the style, it works on the demo link provided http://www.milonic.com/mm_changestyle.php but i havent been able to get ...

Andy, that's exactly it! (well, except for the mac os and office 2003 styles are switched ).

it doesnt look like quite a mess, but i'll wait till you clean it up. thanks!

Hi BigWebGuy,

Sounds like we're on the same thought path. All are indeed variations on a theme. Unfortunately, the theme in this case doesn't seem to be helping. Andy is indeed the creator of the menu scripts. If anyone can figure it out, he can. haven't hear back from him yet, but he's typically ...

you need to escape your / with a \ like below:

aI("text=Education<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Programs;showmenu=education;");

same if you would need to output double quotes:

aI("text=\"Education<br \/>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Programs\";showmenu=education;");

I've tried other approaches to try to rebuild/redraw the menu, including a call to _drawMenu() and assigning to mRef.innerHTML. Nothing. I also tried using the _rbMenus() function that's used inside of mm_menueditapi.js to rebuild the menus after changes are made through the API functions. Again ...

I've been working on it, too, at http://www.west.asu.edu/sa/testsite/index2.htm . Didn't realize the other two had jumped in, but I'm certainly glad they did.

John, I don't see any difference in functionality from my example except for that it's been set to singleMasterMenu=true.

I am not having ...

I can't figure how you can use the mm_changeItemProperty for changing the menustyle when it is not an item property...


Ruth, i am only using the mm_changeItemProperty function for changing the items to be of type=tree (and for redrawing the menu when true is passed as the updateDisplay parm ...

thanks Kevin, glad to know i'm on the right track. I'm sitting here thinking exactly the same thing you are....it should work!

I'm looking forward to what you come up with, cuz at this point, short of de-compressing the menu and getting dirty, i'm out of "elegant" ideas.

Thanks

Ruth, it appears to me that the mm_changeMenuProperty function does the exact same thing as this line of code that i already have. _m[mIx][6]= RNowMainTreeStyle;

then in the final call to the mm_changeItemProperty function, i pass true as the updateDisplay parameter which will call the BDMenu ...

john, look at the page source. the call to drawMenus is right below the menu definitions.

I understand that my menu definitions are not correct for a tree configuration, my goal is to be able to dynamically change them to a tree configuration, which is working correctly. The problem is that once i ...

I have a horizontal menu w/vertical submenus that for certain pages i would like to display as a vertical collapsable menu.

horizontal menu is: https://www.eval2.asmr.com/milonictest/milonic_h.htm

my attempt at converting it to vertical collapsable menu is: https://www.eval2.asmr.com/milonictest ...
