Milonic JavaScript Menu

Just another update:
- using the latest firefox 3 under windows and linux (and IE6+ under windows)
- and using the latest flash 10 beta from adobe
- and using the latest menu (5.801 I think)

All my menus, redraw issues, flash pages, etc. work perfectly as far as I can tell.

Thanks for a great ...

Looks like the late July 31, 2008 update to 5.797 fixed my IE rips. Thanks

I just grabbed the pre-release to see if it worked better with my Firefox and Linux setups.
It DOES work better with Firefox and Linux. Nice.

However, when I test back with IE6, now a few things crop up:
1) the background colors for the menus no longer match my DIV backgrounds. They are "close".
2 ...

The good news is that with the latest Adobe Flash Beta for Linux and Firefox 3, the wmode=transparent stuff works so the menus will appear on top of flash movies!

The bad news is that either there is a damage/redraw bug "somewhere" or I need to layout my page again because I get some extra redraws ...

Just thought I'd see if you had thought about this anymore.

Cheers,
Mike

Is it using this idea or would this work?

Thanks for pushing on it!

Andy,

Is there a chance of restoring the "partially working" functionality of Firefox 2 in Firefox 3 in Linux?
Where the fixMozillaZIndex would allow pop up menus to appear on top of flash?

Thanks
Mike

It works "well enough", but not perfectly.

By adding the fixMozillaZIndex=true option the pulldown/right menus appear over the flash in Linux with Firefox 2.
However, the main horizontal/vertical menu bases still do not appear over flash.

That is a limitation I can live with.

Mike

This may help someone track this down, but if I make the menus large enough (or the web browser small enough) and add
$mmMenu->overflow="scroll";

then the menus that scroll do appear above the flash!

So it is possible to fix in Firefox 3, just something extra must be needed.

Mike

Thanks for the heads-up about the new version, but it did not help.

I should clarify that the example at http://www.milonic.com/over.php works with Firefox 2 and 3 under Windows.
But that example does NOT work with Firefox 2 or 3 under Linux.

What does work with Firefox 2 under Linux, but does not ...

Firefox 2+ worked fine under Linux and Windows with Flash and Milonic menus. (with the flash activator js)
Firefox 3 was just released today and it works fine with the Milonic menus under Windows, but under Linux the menus are again behind the flash.
