Trouble Getting The menu to show

kelthore · Post by **kelthore** » Sat Mar 04, 2006 12:06 pm

I'm still fairly new at this whole java script thing so i have no idea how im coding it wrong.

information from menu_data.js:
fixMozillaZIndex=true; //Fixes Z-Index problem with Mozilla browsers but causes odd scrolling problem, toggle to see if it helps
_menuCloseDelay=500;
_menuOpenDelay=150;
_subOffsetTop=2;
_subOffsetLeft=-2;

with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){
bordercolor="#999999";
borderstyle="solid";
borderwidth=1;
fontfamily="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial";
fontsize="75%";
fontstyle="normal";
headerbgcolor="#ffffff";

outfilter="randomdissolve(duration=0.3)";
overfilter="Fade(duration=0.2);Alpha(opacity=90);Shadow(color=#777777', Direction=135, Strength=3)";
padding=4;
pagebgcolor="#82B6D7";
pagecolor="black";
separatorcolor="#999999";
separatorsize=1;
subimage="javamenu/arrow.gif";

}

Hi

got it to work.
Its a matter of some syntax errors.

I´ve commented them by "// comment"

Here is the code

a) the menufile

Code: Select all

fixMozillaZIndex=true;
_menuCloseDelay=500;
_menuOpenDelay=150;
_subOffsetTop=2;
_subOffsetLeft=-2;

with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){
bordercolor="#999999";
borderstyle="solid";
borderwidth=1;
fontfamily="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial";
fontsize="75%";

drawMenus();

b) the html file I´ve used (modified the path settings for my directories)

<script type="text/javascript">
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt type=text/javascript src=mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");		
  else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt type=text/javascript src=mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>"); 
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu_data.js"></script>	
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<a href="http://websites.milonic.com/milonic.com/>DHTML JavaScript Menu Courtesy of Milonic.com</a>
</body>
</html>

Comment: The "fatal" error was triggered by missing quotes after the final aI("..;"); string - submenu Mods.

Hope this helps

Worked perfectly thanks much for the help!

Hi

it is really important to check carefully all these quotes, double quotes, semicolon etc. etc. - and to check the completion of aI("........" ; ) ; - strings. If for instance one double quote "; is missing - the entire menu does not show !
