Only programers should attempt to install Milonic.

Can I do this?

Post by BenJMann »

:( I have placed a popup menu on my website at http://www.GardenHere.com using another menu builder only to discover that it only allows one menu --I desperately need two (one vertical and one horizontal with popouts, etc.) I would really like to try Milonic as it seems to do all the things I need. However, I know almost nothing about Java or have limited knowledge of HTML.

My questions: How easy is it to implement the code? Are instruction clear enough for someone like me to make it work? I tried the Beta menu builder and found that it is not quite ready for prime time --at least I could not get it to work.

Thanks in advance for anyone who might be able to set me straight.

Very easy to do. Typically build separate arrays for each menu you want and include them in the call.

For example, my site at http://tiggrsuccess.com/ uses both a horizontal and a vertical, with the calls looking like this...

Code: Select all

<script language="Javascript" src="menu_array.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="Javascript" src="side_array.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language="Javascript" src="mmenu.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
...for v3 of the menu, or...

Code: Select all

<script language=JavaScript src="milonic_src.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language=JavaScript src="top_array.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script language=JavaScript src="side_array2.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
...for v4.

You could also build your two styles within the same file if you want. I just prefer keeping them separate.
