I'm having some trouble getting the menu up and running. If some one could lend me a hand on what to do first, that would be great. What file do I edit, what file goes on the acually page. A simple step by step on what to do would be perfect, if it isnt to much to ask.

"Noobs" are always most welcome here - after all, we all were there once

However, a suggestion, if I may. Check the examples over on the main site (click the Milonic logo in the upper left to get there). You will see menu and style structure and a lot of different ways to use the menu. In the download itself look at the source for menu.htm. This will show you how the menu is actually called (2 lines of JS).

Give it a fair try, and if you're still stuck come on back and we'll dig into it.

OMG it worked. That is so cool. Hey I got it. The arrows are back. Sometimes I just need that little push that you gave and now im set. Thanks a whole bunch. -Jack

Aw, and you were doing so well, too

Go back into the download and check menu_data.js. Under the menuStyle item you'll see something called subimage. Wonder if that might be the guy...?

Also look on the main site for descriptions of all the available parameters.

Isn't it more fun when you can get this thing going yourself

Ok now i have another problem. How do I get the menu names to change? I found the place in the menu data java script thing but when i save it and everything the menu doesnt open. Like here it is http://www.knology.net/jackattack/test3.htm If you scroll over partners nothing happens. See i changed it to TSA and the 3rd link the the national tsa website. Why wont it work?

Because in the Main Menu definition it still says...

Code: Select all

aI("text=Partners;showmenu=Partners;");

It's still looking for a menu called Partners, but you renamed that to TSA. Hence - not found, and no menu to drop.
