Milonic JavaScript Menu

John,

It appears to work the way you spilt the menu and place some of it in-line ( the extra space is no more in IE 7! ) , however the treemenu.js seems to not like this menu split.

When I click to expand the menu ( which is a tree type) I get the following JavaScript error on the treemenu.js ...

John,

Yes I upgraded to 5.800 the day of the initial post ( see the screenshots which show the default MILONIC top-menu link )

However, since its a live site I went back to the licensed version ( which is the older ) in the mean time.

If you use the new menu 5.800 the behavior is the same ...

Hi Ruth,

Here are two images

On IE6 ( looks the same on Firefox ) :

Note the menu width is clipped at the specified length..NOTE: the menu is a little out of the box to the right, lines are typically not there..I am just using them to ...

Hi John,

Just upgraded to the recent release 5.800
It still stretches the width way beyond what is specified, and only occurs in IE 7.
Here is the properties file for the menu : http://static.mashupsoft.com/javascripts/collapse_data.js
And live link once again http://www.mashupsoft.com/maps ...

Hi,

I just discovered this behavior in IE 7, the item / menu width expands beyond the specified value.
I saw similar posts, but though related are not the same (http://forum.milonic.com/search.php )

Here is the live menu, notice how the border extends to the right http://www.mashupsoft.com ...

Thank you for all your help Ruth and William !

With your input I managed to get the menu to automatically collpase without buildAfterLoad, it took some extra work to modify the relative/absolute positions in my stylesheet, but its working as it should now.

Thanks again,
Daniel

Tried it like you suggest Ruth, modified the CSS sheet, left out the buildAfterLoad and removed the position:relative; from #container, also adjusted the out of whack image on the right that's offset.

Doing this on any screen resolution different than the dev design whacks the image also...just ...

Thanks for the link William, I saw it works without buildAfterLoad, but I would need to rework my whole design (templates) to make the menu work like you have it.

It actually works on your site without buildAfterLoad due to the manner in which you have your <div's> and table's nested. I see you ...

Here are both live examples, one using buildAfterLoad true and another without buildAfterLoad, hopefuly with this, someone at Milonic can help me sort out the build after load issue using bolt-on modules.

Here are four sets of links without buildAfterLoad:

Tried what you suggested William, but this fails when users with different screen resolution see the menu, a very common/possible scenario on the Net. If you see the position ok on you dev station at 800x600, the menu will be moved to another point on different screen resolutions, since everything ...

Hi Ruth,

My appologies, pointed to the local/dev site.

Here are the active links

If you move around the sub-menus (to the left side of the page) you will see the error.
The error on IE is line 368 char 5 ...

Hi Ruth,

Just download 5.754 release, noticed it points out: "Modified the way relative menus position their objects. This is a vast improvement on previous versions. The whole menu can now be embedded (include code) inside DIV's and Tables with just one parameter setting (adding buildAfterLoad ...

Hi Ruth,

Just installed the latest 5.753 version, also check downloaded treemenu bolt-on module. but the problem with using buildAfterLoad still present.

Any expected date for a resolution on this ?

Thank you.

Hi Ruth,

Thanks got it, makes sense it isn't doing anything since the are no submenus to execute it on.

But I am actually not using the openmenusbyurl.js function (module), but rather the treemenu.js , Treemenu Module version 1.2 , it also has a openBranchByName() function.

Isn't there a way ...

I am currently using Milonic 5.749 Pro License Number: 202616, with the parameter buildAfterLoad=true, since I was having some trouble getting around the <div>/<table> placement.

Sure enough, using buildAfterLoad=true corrects the problem of the sub-menus opening on the far right, however, now it ...
