Milonic v5.0 Bug: HIDEDIV not running

Post by xarli »

On v3.5.* you could specify the name of the DIV TO HIDE so FORM objects don't overlap the DHTML menu.

On v5.0, although there is a property related to this feature (HIDEDIV), it doesn't run (misimplemented).

Ok this is getting alittle ridiculous, you posted this question in three forums. And John asked you to keep it to one when you only had two up. :evil: It really wastes space and gets annoying to see the same question across forums. We ALL read across all the forums, so if you post in one, we'll see it. To be honest with you, posting in multiple forums will not help to get your post answered any quicker, in fact it may help not get it answered. :x

Secondly hidedev promises to hide nothing. THe documentation at http://milonic.com/menuproperties.php does not even say it does anything yet. But thus far, Andy has only used it as an example to show how you can hide an iframe. I am sure there will be an add on in the near future that will hide form objects as well. So please, be curtious on the forums and post once.

:oops: ok, ok it's my fault...

I was not quite sure if it was a bug (it think it is cause it was fully functional in 3.5.*) so at the Development & Bugs Forum.
If it was a new feature and so post it at Feature Requests & Suggestions Forum.
But i am quite sure that i need help (almost 4 posts on same topic at Help & Support still unreplied, my annoying posts apart...)

Sorry, i thought that every forum had its developers, and my lazyness forced me to cut and paste...
I was searching for an "It's in our todo lists" and all that i have found is a "Don't post 3.* questions". Stress do the rest...

My excuses again.
:(

I apologize if I came off alittle harsh, I was a bit on edge that day. :oops: But to maybe help your problem, take a look at http://milonic.com/register.php you will see if you hover over DHTML Menu > Samples, the menu completely covers ALL the form objects in the page; textboxes, dropdowns, everything. Make sure you download the latest revision, RC6, and see if you can get it to work, or take a look at the code. I took a look and didn't see anything out of the ordinary in the page's code to hide the form items (no hidedivs or anything) so I am guessing its inherent to the menu to automatically cover such things, at least in the version hes using on the site. Hope this helps.

Guidelines for those ho have the same (unexistent) problem:

V3.5.*
:idea: Place your form inside a div and name it (remember to set the same value for name and id attributes). Suppose we name it howdyform.
:idea: Specify that name in the correct place when you create the menu, for a menu without submenus:

Code: Select all

addmenu(menu=["myOKMenu",29,520,,0,,XPMainStyle,1,,,0,1,0,,3,0,0,'howdyform',,0,,
,"An Item","/url/to/somewhere onbordercolor=406080;offbordercolor=60A0C0;",,,0
]);
V5.0
:idea: Assure your menu and form fall into the same div or no div at all !!!
