Milonic Menu Doesn't Show Up in Netscape 9

Post by misty »

Hi,

My Milonic Menus stopped showing up as soon as I have upgraded to Netscape 9. The same menus work in IE7, Firefox and Safari on Windows and Mac. I have not changed anything in menu_data.js.

Here is the error from Netscape Error Console:

Uncaught exception: Permission denied to call method Location.toString
..../Milonic menu/mmenudom.js

Error: missing ) after argument list
Source File: ..../Milonic_menu/mmenudom.js
Line: 16, Column: 103
Source Code:
9])hm=1}_gm=$c($O+m);if(!_gm||_M[9])return;_mp=$D(_gm);if(!_M.sW)_M.sW=_mp[3];_gmt=$c("tbl"+m);_gt=$D(_g

Popup is not defined
Popdown is not defined

Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Did you know that Netscape is just Firefox with a different skin? So if Firefox works then Netscape 9 should work. If it doesn't then there must be a setting inside Netscape. Try re-installing Netscape and also try re-installing the menu code files.

Also, did you know that Netscape support is being ceased as of February 2008?

I will delete the "Contact Us" tickets you have created for this same issue.

Hi Andy,

Thanks so much for your help. I didn't know Firefox was like Netscape with a different skin. No wonder the features are so similar.

Netscape 9 can display Milonic menus now since it can read entire mmenudom.js(5.782) file after I touched and saved it today.

By the way, for upgrading to Milonic Menu 5.787, because I have menu_data.js customized for my needs, I am planning to roll in only milonic_src.js and mmenudom.js of version 5.787. Would that be sufficient? thx.

Yes, the code files are all you need to change. Your menu_data.js will be fully compatible and will not need changing.

So, all you need to do is upgrade the files milonic_src.js and mmenudom.js

It's a real shame about Netscape, after all Netscape was the first modern web browser to appear and has been killed off by Microsoft's Internet Explorer. If were not for Netscape the web would possibly be much different to what it is today. It's a lesson to us all I suppose, even the mightiest of products can become obsolete, even major corporations can fall, just goes to show you must never count your chickens :D
