Submenu should stay open if Mainmenu is active [Problem]

[andy0815]

Hello,

we have a problem with a menu on:

http://bzwk.steindev.de/start.html

first:
the submenu schould stay open if the mainmenu-item is activated or a submenu-item is activated.

second:
if a submenu is activated and open and you "mouseover" an other, not activated mainmenu-item, the appertaining submenu-items should been displayed.

our menu is dynamically generated from a database, so some parts (for the active menu-items) are generated dynamically. the stuff in the curly brackets are variable.

Code: Select all

aI("{CONF_STR}{IF_ACTIVE_EXISTS}");
}

and:

var yactive = getMenuByName('{NAME}');
menuDisplay(yactive, 1);

we tried this, but it doesn't works:

example:

Code: Select all

with(milonic=new menuname("x")){
left=25;
top=120;
zindex=999;
alwaysvisible=1;
position="absolute";
orientation="horizontal";
style=stylex;

aI("showmenu=y0;text=Zeitwertkonto;url=../../web/zeitwertkonto/prinzip.html;offcolor=#000;offcolor=#000;");
aI("showmenu=y1;text=Unser Profil;url=../../web/profil/unternehmen.html;onfunction=menuDisplay( yactive, 0 );offfunction=itemOn( yactive, 1 );");
aI("showmenu=y2;text=Vorteile;url=../../web/vorteile/arbeitnehmer.html;onfunction=menuDisplay( yactive, 0 );offfunction=itemOn( yactive, 1 );");
aI("text=Karriere;url=../../web/karriere.html;onfunction=menuDisplay( yactive, 0 );offfunction=itemOn( yactive, 1 );");
aI("text=Anfragen;url=../../contact.html;onfunction=menuDisplay( yactive, 0 );offfunction=itemOn( yactive, 1 );");
aI("showmenu=y5;text=Service;url=../../web/service/downloads.html;onfunction=menuDisplay( yactive, 0 );offfunction=itemOn( yactive, 1 );");
}



with(milonic=new menuname("y0")){
orientation="horizontal";
style=styley;

aI("text=Das Prinzip;url=../../web/zeitwertkonto/prinzip.html;offcolor=#000;");
aI("text=Vorraussetzungen;url=../../web/zeitwertkonto/vorraussetzungen.html;");
aI("text=Die Chancen;url=../../web/zeitwertkonto/chancen.html;");
aI("text=Infos für Steuerberater;url=../../web/zeitwertkonto/infos-fuer-steuerberater.html;");
aI("text=Praxis-Tipps;url=../../web/zeitwertkonto/praxis-tipps.html;");
}

with(milonic=new menuname("y1")){
orientation="horizontal";
style=styley;

aI("text=Unternehmen;url=../../web/profil/unternehmen.html;onfunction=menuDisplay( yactive, 0 );offfunction=itemOn( yactive, 1 );");
aI("text=Leistungen;url=../../web/profil/leistungen.html;onfunction=menuDisplay( yactive, 0 );offfunction=itemOn( yactive, 1 );");
aI("text=ALCONTAS Gruppe;url=../../web/profil/alcontas-gruppe.html;onfunction=menuDisplay( yactive, 0 );offfunction=itemOn( yactive, 1 );");
}

.........



drawMenus();



var yactive = getMenuByName('y0');

menuDisplay(yactive, 1);

I hope you understand my english

Hi,

I'm posting this to someone for help because I don't know about functions, however, they will not be able to do any help until you upgrade to the newest menu version.

You have 5.753 and it is now 5.766. Make sure you keep your existing 3 program files....milonic_src, mmenudom, mmenuns4 some place in case problems occur with the newest version and you have to revert to the older one until any issue is fixed.

ok we now have updated to version 5.766, but still the same problem

updated files to version 5.766:
mmenuns4.js
mmenudom.js
milonic_src.js

no ideas how to help us with the problem?

Hi,

Well, I have no idea what that function is you have, it looks as if it's some function to try and keep the submenu active, that is visible. If that is all it is, then you might eliminate that and just use the keepalive=1; in each item.

The problem with that is it will not keep the main item yellow. And since it seems that each main item is also a link, you couldn't use something like openonclick with clickbgimage. If that is all that function does, you could set the top main menu to not have a link in the items that have a submenu, put the link into the actual submenu for the item, and then use openonclick=1;keepalive=1; and set clickbgimage in the style for the main menu to be that overbgimage.

Hi,

Your function calls are not correct.

itemOn requires the item reference, not the menu reference

So change this:

Code: Select all

aI("showmenu=y2;text=Vorteile;url=web/vorteile/arbeitnehmer.html;onfunction=menuDisplay( yactive, 0 );offfunction=itemOn( yactive, 1 );");

To this instead:

Code: Select all

aI("showmenu=y2;text=Vorteile;url=web/vorteile/arbeitnehmer.html;onfunction=menuDisplay( yactive, 0 );offfunction=itemOn( _itemRef, 1 );");

The above will need doing for all menu items. THis should help suppress the error and hopefully solve the problem

Andy
