Milonic JavaScript Menu

Hi, You've put left="offset=25"; in a menu style definition. It's a menu property , rather than a style property . You have to use it in the menu definition, rather than a menu style definition (e.g., as in the "Products" menu in the example I posted earlier). That may do the tri...

Hi DJ, You've probably seen my other post by now. Don't know if it helped. Your asp code is only processed on the server side. Once the code hits the client (browser), your variables are no longer variables; no longer available to asp processing. It sound to me like you're doing your database query ...

I think I get it... The space between the item highlight and the edge of the menu is caused by the use of the margin property in the menu definition. E.g.: with(milonic=new menuname("Milonic")){ itemheight=24; itemwidth=126; style=redmenuStyle; margin=3; aI("bgimage=mint_top.gif;text=...

Hi DJ, The variable is processed on the server side. So it must be used before that code is sent to the client. If you set the variable in the main page (instead of in menu_data.asp), then my thought is that since the two files are being served at different times, its a scope issue. Two possibilitie...

The _subOffsetTop and _subOffsetLeft global properties do not normally apply to submenus opened from a horizontal main menu (which is what I assume you're doing, given the behavior you're reporting). If you want to offset the position of a submenu that opens from a horizontal parent menu, then you c...

Just a quick thought. I believe the recommendation for tables is to load the menu scripts in the page's body, rather than the head. Try moving the <script> tags that load the base menu code and your menu_data.js file into the body... right after the opening <body> tag. If that doesn't work, we'll tr...

You can add an OS-specific scroll bar to a menu by specifying overflow="scroll"; in the menu definition. If the height of the menu exceeds the available space, then a scoll bar will be added automatically. There is no provision for a scoll arrow at the top/bottom of the menu. Hope that hel...

You can have as many menus on a page as you like, whether they're static or dynamically generated. If you're generating menus from a database, rename your menu_data.js file to menu_data.asp, to force it through the asp processor on the server. In the file, mix static javascript code with the asp cod...

Set _subOffsetLeft=0; and instead, apply a horizontal offset to each second-level menu individually using the left property in the menu definition, like so: with(milonic=new menuname("Products")){ style=subStyle; left="offset=25"; ... aI("..."); } Since the offset value...

Hi, I believe the menus have a zindex of 999 by default, just so you know the starting point. Each menu has a menu property called zindex (codeRef = 27). You could set that programatically for any particular menu, using the following function: function mm_changeMenuProperty(menuName, propertyRef, ne...

Hi, The double quotes in your html will have to be either (a) removed, (b) escaped, or (c) changed to single quotes. The first double quote after "text=... will end the string passed to aI() prematurely and cause a js error. You also need to add type=html; to the menu item definition passed to ...

Hi Lori, Very nicely done! I tried the same thing just now ("every visit" vs. "automatically"), using IE6 to visit your site. Got the same flicker. Interesting... it looks like the bgimage is getting loaded from you server, instead of the cache, for every item, each time a menu i...

Update: I've worked at it some, but all I've been able to do so far is get the third-level menus to close when mousing over a main menu item (which, of course, must precede a click). No luck with actual clicking yet though. I have one other idea that I'll be able to try later.

Hi,

Can you please post a url where we can look at the problem and examine the code behind it? Much easier than trying to recreate the issue.

Cheers,

Kevin

Hi Lori, I don't see a problem either, with IE6/WinXP SP2. Your menus look and work great. I'd say you're correct about it being machine specific. It sounds like the problem may be related to the filter effects you've applied. As John mentioned, those effects apply only when the page is viewed in IE...

<soapbox> Lisa, you are aware that M$ is no longer updating FP, yes? Time for a real program. </soapbox> Now John... let's not scare anyone. MS will not be offering future versions of FP, but will continue to update as needed and will support FP through June, 2008. This is because FP will be replac...

Hi Wayne, You'll find a lot more functionality with a little more reading. There are several mouseover and click effects available. Check style properties and item properties . Also see the sample menus... use the main menu at the top of milonic.com, select DHTML Menu > DHTML Menu Samples > and look...

Make sure you log in to the site first (use the Login button at the top left of most pages). Then download any of the examples. You will only use three files from the zip archive: milonic_src.js, mmenudom.js, and mmenuns4.js. It's probably a good idea to keep a backup of the version of these files t...

Glad it's shaping up to your liking.

I'll give the sub-sub menu issue some thought. I'll have to re-examine what happening so far, because I've forgotten most of it. Speaking of forgetting, if you don't get a reply later today, bump the topic to remind me.

Cheers,

Kevin
