Top Bar Image wont show when changed to vertical

[GVCC]

Hi,

I have the menu working great horizontally, but when I change it to vertical, the top bar image wont show, where it does show when horizontal.

Copy of code:

Code: Select all

if(navigator.appVersion.indexOf("MSIE 6.0")>0)
{
effect = "wheel(spokes=2, duration=0.5);Alpha(style=0,opacity=70);Shadow(color='#777777', 
Direction=135, Strength=5)"
}


timegap=100				
followspeed=5			
followrate=40			
suboffset_top=10;		 
suboffset_left=-2;		
style1=[			
"ffffff",			// Mouse Off Font Color
"004578",			// Mouse Off Background Color
"ffffff",			// Mouse On Font Color
"08558c",			// Mouse On Background Color
"ffffff",			// Menu Border Color 
12,			// Font Size in pixels
"normal",			// Font Style (italic or normal)
"normal",			// Font Weight (bold or normal)
"Tahoma,Helvetica",	                // Font Name
3,			// Menu Item Padding
,			// Sub Menu Image
,			// 3D Border & Separator bar
"",			// 3D High Color
"",			// 3D Low Color
"ffffff",			// Current Page Item Font Color
"008000",			// Current Page Item Background Color
"arrowdn.gif",		// Top Bar image 
"",			// Menu Header Font
"",			// Menu Header Background Color 
]

addmenu(menu=[		
"boundmenu",		
369,			// Menu Top 
75,			// Menu Left
120,			// Menu Width - Menus width in pixels
1,			// Menu Border Width 
,			// Screen Position  of "center:middle"
style1,			// Properties Array
1,			// Always Visible
"left",			// Alignment
effect,			// Filter
,			// Follow Scrolling
1, 			// Horizontal Menu
,			// Keep Alive
,			// Position of TOP sub image 
,			// Set the Overall Width
,			// Right To Left

	,"Pre-Drawn","predrawn.html",,,1
	,"Original","original.html",,,1

dumpmenus()

Can anyone please explain this, because it is really baffling me.

Thanks

Hi Darryl,

Your code works for me, vertically as well as horizontally, when I substitute it into my own test page. Possibly something else on your page causing it? Can you provide a URL to a site, or is it not on line?

One notable thing... the code you provided is missing the "critical" line at the top that loads the menus, but I assume you just forgot to paste that part, since your menus wouldn't display at all (horizontally or vertically) without that line.

Another comment in passing... the way you've defined effect will be a problem unless you define it for other browsers... i.e., maybe use an else statement to assign a null string for all other browsers. If you don't, then effect will only be defined for appVersion = MSIE 6.0; other browsers will throw an "effect not defined" error.

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for your reply. I did intentionally leave out the critical line. Here is the url for you to have a look at.

I have the menu inside a table, and now have it set to negative positions so it doesnt show until page finished loading.

How do I get it the effect so most modern browsers can view the JS Applet?

Regards

Darryl
