Milonic JavaScript Menu

Are you calling the array and menu code with the
Javascript statements on every page you want the menu to appear on?

Easy...

,"Student Affairs","show-menu=stuaff","http://www.west.asu.edu/sa/","Student Affairs Home Page",1

This gives you a sub-menu, link, and status bar display.

See "Home" menu at http://westcgi.west.asu.edu/sai/.

Set up a new array file for each of your different menu systems. Just give each file a different name (menu_array1.js, menu_array2.js, or whatever) and call them as needed.

Sorry - didn't realize it was scrollable. I had a full window open with no scroll bar. The scroll is very erratic. Sometimes it goes where it should, other times it doesn't follow at all. If I may suggest, try taking that other scroller out of the lower right hand corner just to see what happens. I'...

Comes up every time for me with no problems. IE6 under XP Pro.

A sub-menu is no different than the main menu. Hence, the same properties apply, in this case the third item after the menu name (Menu Width).

How much of a form disappears depends on the browser and version being used - either it all goes or just the pop-ups go. There's no coding change you can make to control that.

You mentioned 3.2.0. 3.4.08 is current. Why not catch up and take advantage of all the bug fixes and new features Andy has worked on?

This will do the trick (example from one of my sites at http://westcgi.west.asu.edu/sai/ )...

Yesterday. Gotta keep up! :mrgreen:

Are you running 3.4.08 (latest version)? It has a fix for this specific problem.

As mentioned, in NS (except 6) the whole form does go away. NS6 reacts like IE6 with only the pop-ups hiding. If you're looking at your site in NS other than 6 it is working properly (you said the whold form goes away). This is correct operation. So I'm confused as to why you think there's a problem...

Just went to the site you indicated and the sub-menus open (and work) just fine. Used XP and IE6.

Forgot - see a working example at http://westcgi.west.asu.edu/sai/staff/ads/post.cfm.

Note also that it responds differently in IE and NS - in IE just the pop-ups go away, in NS the entire form hides.

Enclose your entire <form> within a <div id="any_name" style="position:relative">. Then include your chosen "any_name" within each menu definition that you want to trigger the hide function as addmenu(menu=["home",106,36,90,0,"",style1,,"left&qu...

Pat - Here's Andy's call for his 2 menu page... <SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/menu/sidemenu_array.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/menu/mmenu_array.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/menu/mmenu.js"...

Here's how Andy did it... <SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/menu/sidemenu_array.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/menu/mmenu_array.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/menu/mmenu.js" type=text/javascript...

Pat -

Are you using the new 3.4.03 menu? No idea at all if this makes any difference, but I don't think your arrays file you show above is the 3.4 version.

My pleasure, Pat. And don't worry about it - Andy had to put up with my 'fog' when I went through the same problem!

Stefan - I believe our situations are pretty much the same. Never thought I'd be saying this (especially publicly!), but IE has NS beat - although the Mac versions are lagging behind (even OS X latest) in a fashion similar to the NS faults. In my university setting I am forced to try and cover all t...
