anyway to just put the menu in a table?

Hey hows it going,
is there anyway to just put the 2 menu files in a table and not specify the exact position of it? I only ask because if someone doesn't have the browser maximized my menu is not in the position where it should be. I tried searching for a similar problem and have come up empty-handed.. any ideas are appreciated, thanks.

Crank up the menu.htm file in the v5 download you got. You'll see Local Samples/Embedded Inside a Table. That, and the associated array, should get you going.

I'm sorry, but I'm trying to do this as well and your answer did not help. I would like to place this in a table, and not use X,Y coordinates - is that possible? Can you please explain your answer with more detail?

Thank you,
Cody Rush

Okay, I found a download for beta4. I d/l'd it and now I see a table_data.js file. I have actually been successful in placing the appropriate files into a table. Yeah! Now, can I do it with a horizontal menu?

Sorry, but you got me on that one. What "X,Y" coordinates, specifically, are you talking about? Looking at the file I mentioned in the other message I don't see any. What version of the menu are you running?

Very simply, it's just a matter of...

Code: Select all

<body>
<script language="Javascript" src="/sa/menu5/milonic_src.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Adjust that for your path, of course. And...

Code: Select all

<td width="100" align="center" valign="top"><script language="Javascript" src="reg1_data.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Also adjusted as necessary for your array.

I'm sorry. What I was referring to was how you set the position of the menu based on coordinates from the top and left of the page. I'm looking at this more, and I am coming to the assumption that I do not have the same version of the software as you. I do not have a file named reg1_data.js. Or, is this just simply a different file that has been renamed? I tried to use the horizontal_data.js inside a table, but it output the table and then the menu below it, not inside the table.

Thanks

Okay, according to the menu_array.js the version is 3.x.

In one of your examples, the path says sa/menu5/milonic_src.js. Is there a more current version (version 5)? Which version do you recommend and where can I d/l it?

Thanks again,
Cody Rush

Hah! Maybe next time I should read the front page.

Please note: The beta is currently still at version 4 but once we go live this will become version 5. I know it's more confusion but it's just something we needed to address. All will become clear once we go for launch.

Got it! So, the beta4 is what I should be using - which is what I d/l'd last night.

Thanks one more time,
Cody

You can name the array (menu data) files anything you like (that's why I said '...adjusted as necessary for your array.') - just don't rename the 'guts' menu files themselves.

What you should be looking at in the v5 download is table.htm. That has a big old menu smack in the middle of a <td>. The associated table_data.js has all the info that makes it work. Sorry, but I have to say this - that's why Andy called it table_data.

This system is actually pretty brilliant. Different parameters (and there's a pile of 'em!) are simply used in different ways, through the same system, to get different results.

I think you're trying to make it too hard. Take it slow, look at the files I mentioned above, and it'll work. If not, post a URL so we can see what's happening.

On the versions, note there's a new RC out, just to make sure we're on the same page - http://milonic.com/v5_rc4/menu.htm.

here is a link... i should have provided this long ago.

http://www.prowestpcm.com/newsite/

I have not put any menu code into this page yet, I'm still just trying to get something to happen on a blank HTML page. Anyways, thats what the page looks like. The links at the top... WELCOME, SERVICES, PROJECTS, REFERENCES and PRESS RELEASES are what I want to make dropdowns.

Any suggestions or recommendations?

go to that link, i dare you. i have a menu functioning absolutely wonderful on my local machine. I just uploaded the files via FTP and I get a debug error when I visit the link above. When I click on YES to debug, the debugger highlights the very last word in my array file.... _drawMenu(_a)

EDIT

and now just 5 minutes after I made the post about the debug... and it has just stopped. I'm not getting an error, but I am also not getting my menu, its just blank.
