Milonic 'style' form buttons

[slserra]

I was on here some time ago and i read something about someone who had worked out the code to make simple form buttons in the style of the milonic menu (i'm guessing sharing the same style sheet etc).

Does anyone know where this thread is or how you could create a single onhover submit button in the same style as the milonic menu? If i made a single element milonic menu would that be slow to load:?

Thanks

You can see how it was done on Milonic simply by looking at the _data and/or css file(s) on the home page. As for the exact thread, try the Search function.

Hi Steve,

A single-element menu (i.e., a menu with one item) would take no time at all to load. To use it to submit a form, you'd have to:

(1) Give the form a name in the <form> tag, e.g.

Code: Select all

<form name="myform" ...>

(2) Call the form's submit() method using menu item's url or clickfunction property, like so:

Code: Select all

aI("text=Submit;url=javascript:document.myform.submit();");

or

Code: Select all

aI("text=Submit;clickfunction=document.myform.submit();");

Style the aI() item as you see fit for hover effects, etc.

Haven't tried it myself, but it should work.

Cheers,

Kevin
