Table based menu

Fazoli · Post by **Fazoli** » Fri Mar 02, 2007 7:10 pm

I'm having real problems with embedding the menu into a table cell for my website. I've read and tried one of the ways it was fixed here but it didn't work. I noticed that there was a filed named embedded_table_menu.js and was wondering if that was what i needed for this to work. Here is the code for my website if anyone can give me somehelp.

Code: Select all

Hi,

We need to see your page and all your files.

embedded_table_menu.js is just the name someone gave their main menu file which is embedded in the table.

Open your data file, cut out the main menu and put it into it's own file, add a drawMenus(); at the end, remove the top=; and left=; from the menu and add position='relative'; instead. Now save the file, call it whatever you want.

You now have two files, the original menu_data.js file which no longer has a main menu in it and still has a drawMenus(); at the end, and your data file for the main menu you just made that also has a drawMenus() at the end.

Now on your page, call all but the main menu file immediately after the body tag

Code: Select all

<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" src="Table Based Menu_files/milonic_src.js"></SCRIPT> 
<noscript><a href="https://milonic.com/">DHTML Menu JavaScript Menu Powered by Milonic</a></noscript> 
<script type="text/javascript"> 
<!-- 
if(ns4)_d.write("<SCR"+"IPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript SRC=newjava/mmenuns4.js><\/SCR"+"IPT>"); 
else _d.write("<SCR"+"IPT LANGUAGE=JavaScript SRC=newjava/mmenudom.js><\/SCR"+"IPT>"); 
--> 
</SCRIPT> 
<SCRIPT type="text/javascript" src="Table Based Menu_files/menu_data.js"></SCRIPT>

And call the main menu file, whatever you named it, in the table cell.

If after having done this you are still having problems we will need the page itself so we can see all the coding, page, css and menu.

Ok, so i tried what you suggested and it still isn't working (not even showing up on the page)

what do you want me to send you so you can figure out the problem?

Hi,

Can you put up a test page? If not, we need to you put your html page code, any css code, the menu_data file here so we can try an make a page and test it.

ok, the test page should be up before the end of the week, so i'll let you know when its available to see.

Hi,

I just noticed that you haven't posted a test page, but I was working with the downloaded menu and set something up for you to try.

This is the main menu file, copy and save it as embed_main.js

Code: Select all

with(milonic=new menuname("Main Menu")){
alwaysvisible=1;
orientation="horizontal";
style=menuStyle;
position='relative';
aI("text=Home;url=http://milonic.com/;");
aI("showmenu=Milonic;text=Milonic;");
aI("showmenu=Partners;text=Partners;");
aI("showmenu=Links;text=Links;");
aI("showmenu=MyMilonic;text=My Milonic;");
}

drawMenus();

This is the menu_data.js file, copy and save it as subs_data.js

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=2;
_subOffsetLeft=-2;

That should do it. I made the submenus horizontal since you had noted on the page that the 33px high space was for them to open.
