errors with menu in IE (ONLY) with version (5.759) [solved]

[nwilcox]

hello, I'm using parent menu with individual itemwidth on each AI call. I am using text on the button and only the text is becoming the link, not the entire button in IE. Firefox works correctly

In addition my parent menus that have children are not showing the hand icon correctly as I've seen before on older menus.

here is my menu file:

Code: Select all

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=0;
_subOffsetLeft=-2;

with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){
bordercolor="#999999";
borderstyle="solid";
borderwidth=0;
fontfamily="Arial, sans-serif";
fontsize="11px";
fontstyle="normal";
fontweight="bold";
headerbgcolor="#ffffff";
headercolor="#000000";
offbgcolor="#35411B";
offcolor="#FFFFFF";
onbgcolor="#8A8A52";
oncolor="#FFFFFF";
outfilter="";
overfilter="";
padding=0;
pagebgcolor="#8A8A52";
pagecolor="#FFFFFF";
separatorcolor="#EBAC28";
separatorsize=4;
subimage="";
subimagepadding=0;
align="center";
}

with(menuStyleSub=new mm_style()){
bordercolor="#8A8A52";
borderstyle="solid";
borderwidth=1;
fontfamily="Arial, sans-serif";
fontsize="11px";
fontstyle="normal";
headerbgcolor="#ffffff";
headercolor="#000000";
offbgcolor="#DDDCCB";
offcolor="#35411B";
onbgcolor="#35411B";
oncolor="#FFFFFF";
outfilter="";
overfilter="";
padding=0;
pagebgcolor="#8A8A52";
pagecolor="#FFFFFF";
separatorcolor="#FFFFFF";
separatorsize=0;
subimage="";
subimagepadding=0;
rawcss="padding-left:5px;padding-right:20px;background-image:url(images/menu-arrow.gif);background-repeat:no-repeat;background-position:right center;"
}

with(milonic=new menuname("menu_fap")){
style=menuStyleSub;
itemheight="23px";
margin="3";
itemwidth="136px;"
aI("imagepadding=4px;text=Current Projects;status=Current Projects;title=Current Projects;url=index.asp?action=projects_current;");
......................
}

with(milonic=new menuname("menu_au")){
style=menuStyleSub;
itemheight="23px";
margin="3";
itemwidth="192px;"
image="images/menu-arrow.gif";
aI("text=Company History;status=Company History;title=Company History;url=index.asp?action=aboutus_history;");
....................
}

drawMenus();

and then the menu call:

Code: Select all

								with(milonic=new menuname("MainNavigation")){
								  style=menuStyle;
								  alwaysvisible=1;
								  orientation="horizontal";
								  position="relative";
								  menuheight="23px";
								  menuwidth="481px";
								  aI("itemwidth=144px;text=FIND A PROPERTY;status=Find A Property;title=Find A Property;showmenu=menu_fap;");    
								  aI("itemwidth=129px;text=BUYERS PAGE;status=Buyers Page;url=http://clients2.serverside.net/hearthview/index.asp?action=buyerspage;title=Buyers Page;");    
								  aI("itemwidth=108px;text=ABOUT US;status=About Us;title=About Us;showmenu=menu_au;");
								  aI("itemwidth=88px;text=NEWS;status=News;url=http://clients2.serverside.net/hearthview/index.asp?action=news;title=News;");    
								}
								drawMenus();
						
								</script>

The weird thing is when I select the entire page, duplicate sized button hot spots are appearing in the top left corner of the design when I mouseover the menu items. Why is that?

Am I doing something wrong or is there an issue with the newest release?

thanks!

[nwilcox]

can anyone help me with this? I'm trying to launch the site on Monday and I really can't leave the menu like this for production...

thank you!

Hi,

Have you tried 5.760? Also, with an issue like this since I'm not seeing the problem in either 5.759 or 60 when I make the page we are going to need the page so we can find out if something in the css or page html is causing it. Also, which browser version.

Ruth

[nwilcox]

okay I will first try the new version

Here is the link to the menu

http://clients2.serverside.net/hearthview/index.asp

and the browser is the horrifically bad IE 6.0

thank you!!!

downloaded 5.60 and it fixed the issue.

I'm very surprised a version release would cause my menus to have an issue like this.

how long was 5.79 available for download????
