Milonic JavaScript Menu

We have the need to be able to change the menu elements displaying on our menu. We have two elements that are always present, and then x number of extra elements (between 5 and none depending on the page). Basically what i want to do is remove all 5 elements and then rebuild them - and then redraw ...

turns out the fix is to change the hideallkeepalivemenus() function to this:

function closeAllKeepAliveMenus(){
for(_a=0;_a<_m.length;_a++){
if(_m[_a][10]){
menuDisplay(_a,0);
}
_gm=gmobj("iFM"+_a)
if(_gm){
_gm.style.visibility="hidden"
spos(_gm,-9999)
}
}
}

Thanks andy ...

bump...any progress?

would it be possible to have a different hideallkeepalive function which does something like calls itemoff or something? I'm not totally sure how this works but it could fix it. Or how about if keepalive was turned on when the menu item is opened, and turned off immediately before it is closed ...

i'd like to add at this point that if i remove the keepalive attribute - the menu works fine - just not how we need it to behave with respect to hiding

I've tried everything you've suggested. I've even binned some of the divs, which are really fundamental to our design, and it still has the same behaviour. It is only with keepalive menus. Its as if your hideall function doesn't tell the menu to start recording mouse positions again after the ...

I'm sorry the login page is a little buggy at the moment. Its currently set to check the login and forward to a non-existant homepage (as we have't yet written that). If it happens again close all windows to end the session, and log back in

We have a form within our menu, and it contains a drop down box. We had to make i keepalive to prevent the form 'submenu' from hiding when a user selected something from the dropdown menu, as advised on this very forum.

Now we have noticed a very strange behaviour whereby if the user shows search ...

That did it! What an amazing fix. I'm very impressed. Thank you ever so much you've saved me hours

for the purposes of this you can assume as much, yes
session("group") = either "Entire Community" "All Mine" "Personal" "Public Group"

Each group also has an associated number (0 to 3 in this case) which we can also pull. This isn't the issue

The session variable value "group" will be equal to the text of the filter, we can handle the ASP side

basically if you can tell me how to set the initial check item, and whether its done based on the menu filter name or its item number (vertically down the submenu) and the syntax for that, think i ...

Unfortunatly it is a session variable so could be different for every load of the application.asp page (and thus every load of the milonic menu)

Yes we have a default filter initially selected (and stored by a session variable within the asp). I cvan set the variable to hold this, but it means the mm_checkedItem will be held within the asp page not the javascript include file, which is a bit of a drag, but not the end of the world.

what is ...

Unfortunatly I get the error:

• '_mi[...]' is null or not an object

i put the code in the end of milonic_src.js

Thank you very much, you have been a great help

Correct, we wish to use the filter box to show the filter currently applied to the page. On change it will update an iframe, but it should also move the tick to the correct location on the menu list WITHOUT reloading the page itself.

Now how do i close a named menu?
