I have recently downloaded the menus for impementaion into a new site I'm developing. When I'm ready to go live I will of course be purchasing a liscence, but have been ok'd to get it all working as i want before purchasing a liscence and going live.
I'm having a problem with Opera browser, it doesn't seem to want to display my sub menu's, I have put my current test page online for the purpose of this post, so people can have a look see for themselves and perhaps offer some suggestions? Any help is most appreciated:

You're 3 versions down in the menu code. You have 5.06, current is 5.09, with 5.1 right around the corner. Upgrade the menu.
What version of Opera? We've had a number of issues lately that were solved, at least in part, by going to their current version (along with the menu upgrade), 7.23 last time I looked.

Two weeks is an eternity with this program! We've had times in the RC-era when there were 4 releases a day.
Tip - in http://milonic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3108 set the "Watch this topic" option. I post only new release info there, so you will get an e-mail when a new version hits the streets.
No changes will be necessary to your _data file (assuming it's up to the current syntax standards!). Just upload the 3 menu code files.
Just looked and your syntax is pretty close. The only thing I see is in items that contain a numeric parameter (borderwidth="0";), you can leave out the " ", as borderwidth=0;. The " " implies a string, which a numeric is not. No biggie - just picky.

Just for your info, I have Opea 6.05 and the menu worked fine, with just one thing - seemed kind of cool actually - when the subemenus first opened they blinked out and back in real quick then stayed open. Not sure, but maybe that had to do with the ad that rotates in opera. Anyway, it worked fine in 6.05

Here's my two cents:
I looked at your site in IE6/NS7.1/Op6.05/Op7.2 in Win2k.
IE6 and NS7.1 looked fine. In Opera 6.05, none of the submenus opened. In Opera 7.2, all submenus opened, but that "art" menu (under the "Art Projects" main menu item) had its right border cut off... the text showed, but the right border did not. I suspect that putting a little padding around the items might help.
This is totally a shot in the dark, but I recall that in the version 3 days of the Milonic Menu, Opera 6 had problems if you loaded the menu scripts in the <head>. You might try moving the <script> tags that load the menu scripts out of the <head> and put them right after the opening <body> tag.
The other possibility is this: There seem to be a few cross-browser quirks when putting javascript inside of tables. Since (IMO) Opera 6 is one of the quikiest of the "newer" browsers, I suspect that the fact that you're embedding your main menu in a table might be part of the issue. With your site layout, there's no need to put the menu in a table that I can see... you can achieve the same layout using the menu's built-in positioning capabilities. Just another possibility to try.
Cheers,
Kevin
