Milonic JavaScript Menu

Hi Michael, With any new software release, I´m always waiting for the release XX.01 before installing it !!! Up to then, the most serious bugs are eliminated..... You are, of course, correct. However, as a web-designer, you really need to run IE7 and check to see how your site will react to it. IE-7...

Hello everyone, Have other people been experiencing strange behavior with the menu in IE7 Beta 2? I'm not too worried since, after all, it still a beta release and Andy is probably working on it. I'm just noticing strange behavior. The wierdest thing is that the menu seems to collapse when I hover o...

Well, the tooltip that I'm using has a funky little arrow in it which I love... it will load the files when the user hovers them. I'm using it for a thumbnail image, and when you hover it, the tooltip is a larger photo. http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicinde ... oltip2.htm is the one I'm specifica...

Hi John, Sorry it took so long to reply. Also, you've really got me confused when you mention 'relative'. The menu is positioned absolute. The td is just there as a 'placeholder' for it - like an elevator shaft. OK, I see. That makes sense now. The menu is still placed absolutely even though the mai...

The Milonic menu has support for Milonic toolips built into the menu files. That's likely the reason that it conflicts with the DD.com modules.

Hi John, I was hoping you wold share your secret on how you were able to bend the rules and get the menu to FollowScroll while positioned relative in a table. I'm having a real hard time positioning the menu the way I want in a site that I'm redesigning and all of my problems would go away if I coul...

i downloaded the script and evrything but wen i changed "menu_data.js" it didnt work anymore i just need to kno how to put my own stuff in there and keep it there. thanx Hi, Sorry, but your description is a bit too vague to help us help you :>) What, exactly, do you mean by "not work...

Sorry, I was typing too fast :>) That should read:

The toolips module is NOT compatible with the older version menu files. Sorry for the mix-up.

The toolips module is compatible with the older version menu files. From the Tooltips Bolt-On module page:

COMPATIBILITY: Milonic DHTML Menu version 5.472 or higher

Also, the tooltips.js file should be the last one in the order:

1) milonic_src.js
2) mmenudom.js
3) menu_data.js
4) tooltips.js

Hmmm.... I see your point. Since the "item" is a child of the menu, I would assume that the itemwidth percentage would be a percentage of the Menuwidth and not the available window size. So, if you had (for example only) a menu width of 500px and an item width of 30%, I would expect the it...

Hi Michael, Originally, Mark had set item widths of 40, 15, 15, 15, 15 which equals 100%, but in his experience and my experience, that didn't work well. At first I though the other Javascript he was using was tricking the menu into thinking the window was small (it would open the new window to a sm...

Mark, I'm out of ideas. I downloaded what I could to simulate the site, including all the code. I removed all coding except the menu's js files. No style sheet, no other scripts. Just Doctype statement and body tags. The menu seems to have a hard time doing math. I got it to behave a little but by c...

Also, seeing an example URL and some HTML would also be better. Screen shots are nice, but they only paint a partial picture.

MArk, I theory, your setup should work. May I ask why you need to set custom widths for all the menu items? Not setting a width for the menu items would make the menu items stretch to the width they need to be to accomodate your text. Basically, if you just set menuwidth and not itemwidth, the menu ...

Hi, Check your CSS again. There are two main CSS errors in you code: You're not using true CSS, you're using menu variables in CSS format, and you haven't specified the unit types with your numerical values. 1) Example: menuwidth and menu-align, headerbgcolor and header-color are not CSS commands, t...

Any ideas?

yes Viken return to Transitional...... there things work as they should...

Michael

LOL!

I suppose I could just validate it with the Strict Doctype then insert the Transitional, right?

Hi, The menu traditionally doesn't like to be in a DIV. The menu should generally be positioned in a table. I have successfully used the menu in DIV's before, but DIV support is different from broweser to browser. That's why the menu is better off in a table. I notice that you have only used a Parti...

Hello all, I'm trying to convert a site to a frameless design and implement the menu and validate to a strict Doctype. I'm nearly there. One thing I'm having trouble with is the menu in Firefox when the strict doctype is used. The (horizontal) menu gets much taller when a Strict doctype is used vs. ...

Try using multiple slashes (either two or three):

"The weather'\\\s great!"

It seems like you have the menu in a DIV. It's well documented that the Menu doesn't like to be in a div because DIV's aren't supported the same way in every browser. I also find it curious that it only happens when you click the menu item. I haven't tried this (I can't really duplicate your site we...
