Milonic JavaScript Menu

Yes Ruth. I took the site down and re-configured my domain and ftp as it was giving me some very strange outcomes. All is now fixed and, yes, I am getting the links as I need them.

You help was appreciated.

Ruth

I think my problem is a connection with the server that has failed in the upload of the current file. I will have to resolve this but will post again if the problem persists.

Thanks for offering to help

Chris

Thanks Ruth

http://www.malikonline.eu/

-- here is a snippet of the code on that domain -
with(milonic=new menuname("Freshfood"))
{
style=background;
overflow="scroll";
aI("text=Fresh Fruit & Nuts;url=https://www.malikstores.co.uk/store.php?crn=612;");
aI("text=Fresh Vegetables;url=https://www ...

I want my menu on one site to direct visitors to a sister site.

I have, for example, the following on malikonline. eu :

with(milonic=new menuname("Fooddairy")){
style=background;
overflow="scroll";
aI("text=Cheese & Dairy Products;url=https://www.malikstores. co.uk /store.php?crn=461;");
aI("text ...

Ruth, many thanks.

Unfortunately we had our wires crossed as I was working on my ..../news.php file because this was a 'to be developed' page and meant I could add or delete script easily - I had mentioned this earlier in the thread but it all became a bit complicated as we went along - at least ...

Ruth, my apology - I am not communicating clearly.

I did remove the jScripts and the problem persisted so I put them back. To help I have removed them again for you to have a look - I still have failure when the mouse passes over menu items that have tooltips attached. ALL other menu items behave ...

I now believe I have tracked down the problem - it is all the items that have tooltips that won't stay open.

Afro-Caribbean SHOP > Hair Care Products > Hair Wigs Etc > all the sub menus
Afro-Caribbean SHOP > Food & Provisions > all menus from here

Everything else works fine and none of these ...

I have modified page http://www.malikonline.co.uk/news.php so that there are no other js scripts - so no conflicts - and the menu problem persists.

It is only menus at level three - all others work fine.

Thank you Ruth, but why does that only affect the very latest version of the menu? I want to keep the scroller.

OK John - it's almost 19:30 here and I am going to shut down so no urgency today - fortunately I don't have far to go as I work from home.

I have renamed the second menu "clock menu" - the problem persists.

AND - it is only level three menus that are a problem.

I know what you mean John - but here in the UK it is already dark and getting colder so I find the brain quickly slows!!!

My issue with this is why this was not a problem with the previous version?

I am happy to rename the second menu to see what happens.

Ruth

The menu is at http://www.malikonline.co.uk [see items under Afro-Caribbean SHOP] - I have put the latest versions of the files back -- the 'stickiness' of the menu is variable and often closes early.

I replaced the main files with the latest version.
I found that it would not stay open long enough to allow me to get to a level three menu set [as the mouse pointer started to move from the level two menu to the next down the menu closed].
Returning to v 5.738 I find my menu behavior is OK again.

Please don't misunderstand me - it was intended as a recommendation to help users. I am also very impressed with Milonic and consider this one of the best investments I have made.

Migru

I have downloaded the latest version and it works!!

Perhaps Milonic should put a note with tooltips download that this version is needed?

Many thanks

Yes - I am licenced for this domain - which is why the menu does not have a return to Milonic; and I am using version 5.735 of November 16, 2005 so that should be OK?

It feels that I cannot use the tooltips [but that's ridiculous] - I just don't know what I can do to resolve this but many thanks ...

I have spent a lot of time trying to resolbe this without success.
So I have created a 'MINIMALIST' page :
http://www.malikonline.co.uk/indextest.php with no possibility of conflicting scripts.

The html is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title ...

Migru

Thanks for the tip. Sadly I still have a problem getting it to show.

I have added the following item to my menu in the form you suggested (I hope I got this right):

aI=("text=Hair - human;onfunction=showtip('A beautiful range of wigs and hair pieces<br>made from human hair - please click ...

Thanks for the fast response.
I had all my Milonic script in the head section.
I have moved these to the BODY section and added the tooltips line as recommended:

<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">
<script type="text/javascript" src="milonic_src.js"></script ...
