Final Outstanding Bugs...

[gdanen]

Just went to one of my sites running RC26 (current release) and I'm not seeing the problem there. Please try the new version and let us know what happens.

Is there a version ID in the .js files so I can check what I have? I purchased it on Monday, so I would think I'd have the latest version, no?

[John]

Yes, there's an ID. See http://milonic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3108 for info on the current release. Subscribe to that topic and you'll always get an e-mail when a new version comes out.

Note that an RC can remain the same, but the build date will change, so you need to watch both values. You'll see when you look at the post I indicated above an RC26 yesterday and also today. In the code it is in the comments section towards the top of the page.

RC26 seems to have fixed it. I've subscribed as suggested.

Thanks, John.

[John]

You're welcome. Glad that fixed it.

Also, welcome to the gang. You picked the best menu around! If you agree, please see the topic towards the top of the list about voting for us in the poll.

Thanks.

Thought I would add my 2 cents worth on how to "Subscribe" to a forum item. For me it was not very intuitive about how to do this. Maybe this will help someone else out. First you have to "log in" with your username and password. Then go to the Forum item that you want to follow. Down in the lower right hand corner of the item is a line "Watch this topic for replies".
Click on the line. That should do it. You will now receive email messages each time the topic is updated.

Thanks, Bob. Good point. Sometimes we ("I") forget the little things...

I just noticed another foible with the use of high3dcolor and low3dcolor.

Using RC26, I have a test menu that looks like this in IE6/Win2k:


In NS7/Win2k, it looks like this:


Notice the separators between items in the horizontal menu. They look as I expect in IE6, but in NS7 there appears to be two pixels worth of extra offbgcolor between the high and low color. Horizontal separators (in vertical menus) appear to be fine. Here's my style array, in case you're interested:

Code: Select all

with(mainStyle=new mm_style()){
onbgcolor="#BCBDDB";
oncolor="#323197";
offbgcolor="#9495B3";
offcolor="#FFFFFF";
bordercolor="#323197";
borderstyle="solid";
borderwidth=1;
separatorcolor="#323197";
separatorsize=2;
padding=4;
fontsize="12";
fontstyle="normal";
fontfamily="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial";
subimage="submenu_arrow-off.gif";
onsubimage="submenu_arrow-on.gif";
subimagepadding="3";
high3dcolor="#E0E1FF";
low3dcolor="#70718F";
swap3d=1;
}

Cheers

Problem 1 - Menu extends to width of screen even if not desired -i.e. if item width settings are input, menu will still extend to 100% width of screen.

Problem 2 - Menu does not appear on inital load - on reload it will - i have only observed this problem in a relative table bound menu so far.

I have a workaround for the first problem at least (BTW the huge width menu thingy still occurs in RC28) - add an overflow="scroll" property to the menu, and it seems to fix it.

There is still a problem in Mozilla where when you mouseover the menu it appears way off to the left first, and then when you mouseover again it appears where it should. You should be able to see problem this at http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/index.php?styleid=17 in Mozilla.

I'm going to try your suggestion. Weird...why would the "scroll property affect it?

I know this is a lame...

Windows 98 ie6: I see no main menu background images (unless the position or bottom of the image has become hidden, should see 4px underline on:red and off:grey).

Mac ie5.1.7: I have exactly the same main menu properties for tools menu and top menu but tools menu has followscroll and I still get the background repeating approx. 5 times down the page on many loads.

Reminder: If I could style my main menu with one border-bottom under subimage & text, I would replace background image eliminating these problems.

Warm regards

Perhaps this is a bug in the ns4 module of v5. I'll drop Andy a note to take a look.
Meanwhile, would you kindly post your original message to the bugs topic?

I have a horizontal menu fixed top position and a small 'button' that follows scroll which you click to take you back to the menu.

Code: Select all

with(milonic=new menuname("main1")){ 
style=main1; 
top=35; 
left=1; 
alwaysvisible=1; 
followscroll=1; 
itemwidth=50; 
align="center"; 
aI("text=<span onMouseOut=\"changeText(this,'MENU')\" onMouseOver=\"changeText(this,'Click')\">MENU</span>;url=#top;"); 
}  

I got the rc28 and checking before finally uploading my finished menu, I found that the small button disappears off the bottom of the visible screen as soon as you start to scroll. I went back and checked on other releases and it works in rc14 - [I dont' have any until 17 after that] -and not in 17 on.
Here's the test page for it if anyone has netscape 4+

The uparrow.gif called from the mmenuns4.js remains as a bug. I know there is lots to do, but I was wondering when this might get corrected?

I just uploaded RC 31 the top menu is there but nothing is happening, no drop down the mouse isn't even changing.

I'll do another upload just in case.

ps. ignore tools menu for now.

maz

I tried uploading again, still nothing, just the main menu items, no linking or drop down menus, no active status.

I have no idea why that happened above, but now its working, must have been a temporary glitch

Sorry if I got you worried, had me worried.

(I'm getting a new -albeit old- computer yeah! this one is falling apart)

The form example doesn't work, can't use ` or ' or " in or around form.

Header background color no longer works over bgimage, I think header text used to be bold or something.

I haven't checked to see if reversed image width and height is changed in this release.

still get 2 bottom/top borders with showsubmenu and subimage on main menu items.

Thanks,
maz

Please see the following post for what I believe to be a bug in build 31 with separator lines and 3D High/Low.

Random issue on MacOS 9.1 with IE 5.

When displaying the menu bar the first time, the bar spans most of the window vertically. Note that menu items are well painted at the top, and works well.

Refreshing the page, either with the browser refresh button or by changing to another the page including the menu bar clears the issue.

While I was testing the menu to find out if it would meet my needs, I discovered three possible bugs in Opera 7.23.

1) The automatic link to "Milonic Menu" in the free version is displayed as "null". I think the link worked, but am not certain now.

2) The text of HTML headings (H1-H6 tags) frequently gets jumbled. It appears that each word in the heading starts at a certain length from the first letter of the previous word. This does not always happen, and does not always effect every heading on a page when the problem does occur.

3) In my CSS, I have declared "margin-left: 80px" for BODY. This causes the submenus to be displaced by 80px.


This screenshot illustrates all three bugs. (No text was given for the first link in the menu.)




This screenshot illustrates bug #2 on the Milonic website.

Andy, I lost headerbgcolor a few rc's ago in Safari, its working for everyone else, so I tried every position. The only difference is I use transparent bgcolor.
