mm_style un defined

[Stu]

i keep on getting this error message, I am running an asp page, does anyone know why or have had it before themselves???

[Hergio]

Do you have a URL to post? The absolute best thing to have is a URL so we can not only see the error ourselves, but troubleshoot your code and tell you (usually down to the line) what the problem is

Off the top of my head, I would say you are either (1) Incorrectly defining a style, so look at all your style definitions and make sure they follow EXACTLY how they are displayed in the samples area. Or (2) you are referencing a style in one of your menus that doesn't exist.

But a URL is what you should give us.

I just notice you posted this question in the help and support forum too. Please keep posts to one forum. They will get answered, no matter where they are. Over posting causes unnecessary clutter and wastes space for other questions to be answered. We appreciate it. Thanks.

It could be related to a missing style reference, it's definately something to do with the styles though.

Styles can be empty but they must at least be declared.

I could be wrong though. The menu is still quite new and we're not sure of all its problems yet.

I would hazard a guess that one menu is calling a style that isn't there, usually down to a simple spelling error. Had it myself a couple of times.

Hello Guys,

First off, sorry for posting in two differnent topics Hergio, wont happen again!

Afraid I havent got an url to post as I am testing the menu on an Intranet.

All is going well now, started a fresh and havent got the 'mm_style undefined' error message again. But am getting ''_d' is undefined' now!
Before hand the menu wasnt even appearing with the first error message but now is appearing fine but still returning ''_d' is undefined.

Any idea's peeps?

I am calling my js from an asp page as follows:

Sub drawMenuBar()
Response.Write VBCrLf & VBCrLf & "<!-- ********* Start Dropdown Menu ********** -->" & VBCrLf
Response.Write "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=""JavaScript"" SRC=""http://servername/foldername/includes2/mmenudom.js"" TYPE=""text/javascript""></SCRIPT>" & VBCrLf
Response.Write "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=""JavaScript"" SRC=""http://servername/foldername/includes2/milonic_src.js"" TYPE=""text/javascript""></SCRIPT>" & VBCrLf
Response.Write "<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=""JavaScript"" SRC=""http://servername/foldername/includes2/menu_data.js"" TYPE=""text/javascript""></SCRIPT>" & VBCrLf
Response.Write "<!-- ********* End Dropdown Menu ********** -->" & VBCrLf & VBCrLf
End Sub

I am using the XP style menu.

Any help or suggestions would be of great assistance!

Cheers.

Dont include mmenudom into the page, milonic_src takes care of that for you. You will need to set the scriptpath in the milonic_src file to point where mmenudom is located. Milonic_src then ouputs an <SCRIPT src=mmenudom.js></SCRIPT> line into the head of your document, so essentially you are including it twice, that may be the cause of your error. Try that and get back to us. Otherwise, copy your menu_data file into a post.

[Stu]

hergio,
cheers for the reply, tried that but menu not appearing now and getting 'object expected' error, line 29, char 1795.

[John]

Stu, I know you said you're on an Intranet, but is there any way you can get it posted somewhere we can see it? As Dave said, it is so much easier for us to help you when we can see the error and the code.

[Stu]

well here it goes lads...

this is my menu_data.js file

_menuCloseDelay=50 // The time delay for menus to remain visible on mouse out
_menuOpenDelay=50 // The time delay before menus open on mouse over
_followSpeed=5 // Follow scrolling speed
_followRate=50 // Follow scrolling Rate
_subOffsetTop=2 // Sub menu top offset
_subOffsetLeft=-10 // Sub menu left offset
_scrollAmount=3 // Only needed for Netscape 4.x

drawMenus();

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have specified where my mmenudom.js file is in the milonic_src.js file as follows:


//scriptpath="http://hook-iis02/stent/includes2/mmenudom.js";





The error I get is:

Line: 29
Char: 1795
Error: Object expected
Code:0

The file that is returning this error is the milonic_src.js file.

And when using the script debugger it highlights '_drawMenu(_a)'

[John]

Apparently I didn't word that well enough. I meant posted on a server Live action is the key to fast help.

On the flip of that, your _src file is wrong. Read the notes in the file again. It calls for a directory location for your menu files, not a URL or a specific file.

[Hergio]

I have specified where my mmenudom.js file is in the milonic_src.js file as follows:
//scriptpath="http://hook-iis02/stent/includes2/mmenudom.js";

What you should have is either "http://hook-iis02/stent/includes2/" or "/stent/includes2/" as your scriptpath...as John said, it will look inside that directory for mmenudom.

Also, I am not sure how javascript savvy you are, but if you copied that line directly out of your milonic_src file, the // in front of the line means its commented out and doesn't get read. Take the two slashes out so it can read the scriptpath.

Good catch, Dave. Thanks.

It's a little "Code Blue" around here this morning and I missed that in the ruckus.

[Stu]

Bingo!

Cheers for the much needed help guys!

All working ok!

[Hergio]

Voila! Glad to be of service!
