Milonic JavaScript Menu

Andy wrote:Hi,

I have added a new directory to the menu downloads called dynamic_menus.

This is in /extras/dynamic_menus

It is a demo of how to use the Menu Edit Module.

Hope this helps,

Where is it? I can't find it.

I'm sorry, I can't. I'm trying to get some direction from Milonic since I can't get the module to work at all. But, I've always had trouble with it and that is not the module, it is the lack of knowledge on my part.

As soon as I get some information I'll let you know.

Thanks Ruth. I'll be ...

Hi,

I don't know which file you mean. If you mean the menueditapi.js module, then it's at http://www.milonic.com/menumodules.php You need to go down about 4 or 5 items or so.

If you mean that little demo it's here

Can you look at the code I posted ...

I get an error using either one of those lines. I would also like to see the version that is working.

Is anyone trying to do this on page load? I am trying to add menu items on page load; meaning I am not using any type of button click or anything to create the menu as is done in the sample.

Any ...

I had the same problem until I edited the function mm_insertItem in mm_menueditapi.js
I commented out this line:

// _incItem(_aI);

and replaced it with this line:
f_(_aI);
That's weird. I just checked my mm_menueditapi.js file, and the "_incItem(_aI)" line was already changed to "f_(_aI ...

What if I wanted to launch a link in its' own window like below:

<a href="javascript: window.open('/myip.asp','','status=no, toolbar=no, resizable=yes, scrollbars=yes, location=no, width=700, height=300'); void('');" class="5">Your IP Address is...</a>

Thanks again.
just put the javascript after ...

if you don't want to pay anything, you can place this link: somewhere on the page, and the menu will work correctly.

I'm willing to bet you uploaded the index.htm file from the milonic zip.

Delete it from your server and you'll be set.

I too am having a lot of trouble getting mm_insertItem() to work.

I have uploaded a test page showing what I have (and I'll also include the code below in this post)

This page shows the code with the mm_insertItem()

That worked! (once i fixed your spelling of "width" )

Thanks a lot Andy!

Pulling stuff you rely on from other sites is always a bad idea. Consider the other site being down, slow 'net traffic, etc. Those, and many others, will make your site look bad with slow loading at best.

Since you already have the url of the graphic(s) you want, just go get them and put them on ...

The images I am using in my menu are not hosted by myself, so I cannot resize them directly. I'm looking for a way to resize them with code/script.
Something similar to the width and height tags you can add to an image in HTML. (i.e. <img src="image.jpg" width="16" height="16"> )


Specifically, I ...
