Milonic JavaScript Menu

Many thanks for all your help, Ruth, I really appreciate it.

Many thanks, Ruth, I really appreciate it.

Dave

Thanks, John. Are you able to give any indication as to whether soon means a week or two, or more like a month, or more than a month?

Hi John

So, do a search for "search script" (I just got 251,000 returns on that), or "site search" (that gave 59,500,000!), pick one you want to use, and we'll try again.

I did search for "search script" before, which - that's how I found the search script at http://tinyurl.com/2654em, but "site ...

Many thanks, Ruth. Just to clarify, as opposed to the main menu being in the header as in your mock-ups, I want the main menu to be the header - so putting it in a table or div makes sense. See my mock-up at http://tinyurl.com/28mcte (not yet with the css psuedo frames)

Talking of which your ...

Hi Ruth

I've taken out the cdata bit which was only there to make it validate, because I'm using XHTML doctype, but it still doesn't work. I'm not sure what I could be doing wrong, and the other scripts don't work when I try them either.

Dave

Many thanks, Ruth. However when I view your mock-up on my system I can't see any drop-shadows on the drop-down menus, although I can see right and bottom borders. The look I'm trying to achieve is similar to the Firefox menu that I've screen captured at http://tinyurl.com/33f3kb , with a semi ...

So you can reproduce my problem easily I've uploaded a mock-up to http://tinyurl.com/yrc5se

Hi John

Not at all. You can pick any search engine you like (Google, Ask, MSN, etc.), go to their home page and get the code to use their engine.

I looked on Google but couldn't find it.

However, if you are looking for something that will search only your site, you'll need to either buy the ...

Many thanks Ruth. Just to make absolutely sure I'm not misunderstanding what you've written, if I simply set the top and left positions of the main menu to 0 in the menu_data.js file, then in the scenario I linked to, when I scroll down, the menu will always remain visible and static at the top of ...

Mind you, we are here to help, but we do expect our users to have at least some knowledge, and at least some try-it time, before we really get into things.

Sound fair?

My questions have been what you might call "pre-sales questions" - that is, before I spend a lot of time trying to work out how ...

/search.php - standard HTML, defines a file located on the Milonic servers at the root directory level.
I know but I assumed (wrongly) he must have meant that Milonic had provided me with a search.php file, and I couldn't find one in my downloaded files.

class "backW" - defined in the css ...

I've noticed that not only is this the default, but all the Milonic menus that I've seen so far, drop down when you mouseover them, whereas I would like mine to behave like a browser menu, so on mouseover, the main menu text and its background change colour, but the drop-down menu doesn't appear ...

I'm confused - if I can't use Google mini without paying serious money, what search engine would I be using if I used the code you posted of:

aI("text=`<FORM METHOD=GET ACTION=/search.php name=search style='margin:0px;'><table><tr><td class=backW>Search Milonic</td></tr><tr><td class=backW><input ...

Hi Ruth

I would do anything to avoid having to use iframes.

The menu should be at the top. In the demo at http://tinyurl.com/2qf5yb the menu should be located where it says "CSS Frames, version 2 Example 1, full-width" - although the height of 5em that has been allocated for the header pseudo ...

Whoops - I meant "assuming", not "unassuming"! Also I'm not sure what you mean by "which menu you want to use and how" other to say than that I'd like to create a menu that looks similar to the Firefox or possible the Safari one.

Dave

HI Ruth

I would rather not use any IE-specific features if I can help it, as I want it to work in all standards-compliant browsers as well as in IE.

I would like the menu to look similar to the Firefox one, and for its drop-shadow to look similar to the drop-shadow one gets in all Windows XP drop ...

Hi

I love the Google mini drop-down search box on the Search menu on the home page, but I can't find any documentation about how to set this up. Is this documented anywhere? Also, does one have to pay Google to use their search engine in this way?

Dave

Hi

I am looking for a menu system that will let me achieve semi-transparent drop-shadows on the drop-down menu itself similar to the drop shadows that all browser menus have, and that will work with all css2-capable browsers. For instance overlib and overlibmws pop-ups support drop-shadows that ...

Hi

I am planning to use css pseudo-frames for my top menu and my footer using the method described at http://tinyurl.com/myl4n and demonstrated at http://tinyurl.com/2qf5yb. Do the Milonic menus work in that scenario?
