Andy:

Neat. The menubuilder is online. I somehow thought it was to be downloaded and wondered how you were going to do it. When I first started doing these handsome menus I thought "someday if I ever get into doing a lot of menuing, I will make my own database application and generate my milonic ...

LoadWait is in the mmenu.js file (which I thought was untouchable). I see there are branching routines later on which check the value of LoadWait.

Makes me want to learn Javascript. /mfurf

I didn't get any error messages in NS 4.79 but maybe by this time you fixed it.

However what a difference in 4.79 from IE 5.5!!!

The whitespace left margin in IE simply vanishes in NS and so the menu is constantly covering the text. When the selection pops a long list, the top selections get ...

I don't have the problem since I don't have large graphics. Also, all the problems are usually the other way around for me who uses Netscape. Things seem to work in IE but not NS.

Andy explained one time how to preload menu images to get them into the cache (only necessary if one's menu design ...

On dialup I find the loading time is noticeable when the file(s) are not in the cache. I'm not sure but I would imagine the js files also go into the browser cache along with html files, so the initial load might take a few extra seconds.

I'm glad Paul brought up the question. I have been putting ...

I find the <span> tag is read in IE but not NS 4.x. I have NS 7.0 on order. Hopefully these incompatibilities will be fixed in that version. /mfurf

Welcome back:

John had said
Obviously, adjust for the location of your scripts.

but your code maintained his path [/sai/etc.]
E.g. if all your files are in the root directory, it would be
src="menu_array.cfm"

assuming your array is a cfm file.

I'm not sure what the [/quote] in brackets does ...

menufurfer

I've had this kind of thing happen and it drives me crazy. You seem to have isolated the trouble to the array file. IOW you can copy the mmenu file only and it works but not if you copy both files.

Sometimes it's something as simple as accidentally erasing a placeholding comma.

As a hit or miss ...

Hergio and Dennis:

Through experimentation I have found that what Herg calls a switch (to turn on the separator) is actually a setting to specify the thickness of the separator, so it can take values above 0,1. I use 4 but for the rightmost menu option zero is better. The menu's right border will ...

Kevin:

I have a two frame setup which sounds similar to yours. I get that behavior in Netscape 4.7x but not in Netscape 5.5, the two browsers I use for quick testing (I'm soon going to install NS 7.0 - I hope it's worth the trouble). So it sounds like it's a browser version specific problem.

I ...

My highlight hierarchy seems to hold throughout the menu tree. And I cannot find a CURRENT PAGE ITEM FONT COLOR setting. So you must be using another version or specialty menu. /mfurf

menufurfer

Very nice logo et titre. I just did a test on Andy's standard menu. If you insert the line

,"","",,"",115 [the first comma is the placeholder]

between your Syndicat and Contact code lines, it will insert a dummy cell (of darker color) and force your Contact option out to the right away from the ...

Neat, as a stopgapper. I don't understand it however. Isn't this like having one of the arrow graphics or any other graphic except it's a single pixel graphic? How does that wind up stabilizing the font across browsers?

menufurfer

Nice try in mixing and matching menus.

Because my presupposition is that the two frame js files are a matched pair (as are presumably other matched pairs being developed for the specialty menus), I would have been quite astounded if suddenly you could mix and match a non-frame js file and it would ...

I am hoping that others reading this will give us the benefit of their experimentation with fonts across various browsers, espcially ID and NS. /mfurf

Try moving your closing </head> command to the line in between <noframes> and the opening <body> command. This puts your framesets within your head section instead of in a no man's land between the head and body sections. I think this will do it for making it NS friendly. You probably won't notice ...

menufurfer

Since you and I have basically a similar double frame setup and mine works (with the exception of the font size) in both IE and NS, so should yours.

Do you start with an index file that is blank and merely is used to set up the frames? Here is my html code (note that my small frame is logo.htm and ...

I've noticed both in my own menus and in other milonic menu designers on the board here that there is a constant font problem when designing in Netscape and testing in IE and vice-versa. The IE fonts are always larger. I think your menu shrunk to fit the size of the Navigator font (which I have ...

I have timegap=500 which I think is the original and is supposed to affect the delay on the menu visibility. But then again I don't use images and maybe that's a factor... because when I switch from your site to mine and back and forth using the Back and Forward buttons, I don't have the problem at ...

menufurfer

I didn't see your post until now. On no. 2, I can't be of much help since I decided not to use images: even if they work right they are extra overhead. I don't think anyone misses them.

On positioning the menus, this is generally trial and error although I don't think most of those offset values ...
