Final Outstanding Bugs...

[John]

I know there are a number of posts that still have outstanding issues with v5. Some big items have just been cracked by Andy (even with all his sniveling about his flu!), and we're really close to a final.

So, if you wouldn't mind posting a quick synopsis here of what you feel isn't working, or even a link to the topic where you first posted the problem, it will make it much easier for Mr. Snivel to latch on to these items and get them fixed.

PLEASE USE THIS AREA TO POST OUTSTANDING BUGS ONLY - NOT FOR DISCUSSIONS OF BUG FIXES!

Thanks

Menu may not appear on Mac Internet Explorer v4.5 - I know these are old browsers but maybe compatibility list should be upgraded...

[Maz]

I don't think anyone should be below Mac ie 5.1.7 and upgrade apple java run time.

It could be my silly maxed out graphic menu sliding down, but vertical align used to be top for submenu 00. update: FIXED! but menu started jumping again on mouseover, I added open onclick in menu item it seems to help.

I think I noticed left 0 plus screen position center would actually stop at left, nice if I'm correct on that.... 100% is the big one!

And a list of possible css naming conflicts?

And some effervescent vitamin c to Andy!

Thank you

Hi, I have built the menu for http://www.seti-nl.org this now uses version 3, but we are working on version 5.

One remark, I've got a report that version 3 handles Opera 5.01 nicely, but version 5 doesn't!

Thread on the Seti-forum: http://forum.seti-nl.org/showthread.php ... genumber=2

PS: Since Opera doesn't handle resize actions correctely I have built a Opera-resize-tester, maybe an idea for a future release to include it? (when a page is resized in Opera 5.x/6.x the Milonic-menu becomes chaos.., here's the code I have written:

Code: Select all

// reload function, done this insted of a 'onResize' to detect a resize in Opera 6.x (and lower)
// built by Eesger Toering www.knoop.nl
reloadteller = 0; reloadtester = 0; reloading    = 0;
function Herladen() { if(!reloading) {window.location.reload();reloading=1 } }
function reloadtesterFunction() {
  reloadtesterNIEUW = parent.innerWidth/parent.innerHeight;
  if (reloadtester != reloadtesterNIEUW && reloadtester > 0) {reloadteller++ }
  if (reloadteller > 0 ) { Herladen() }
//  document.Info.text.value = Date()+'\n'+reloadtester+'\n'+reloadtesterNIEUW+'\n'+reloadteller;
  reloadtester = reloadtesterNIEUW;
  setTimeout("reloadtesterFunction()",1000);
}
if(op)   {setTimeout("reloadtesterFunction()",4000);}

PS: do I get a discount now, when I need a commercial version ?

I am assuming this is a bug because no one has been able to help.

Someone might want to take a look at this as well.

There remains a 404 error with Netscape browsers calling the file uparrow.gif. It should be arrow.gif.

Please see my post of Oct 2nd.

[pat@dracoblu.com]

The following is not XHTML compliant. Although it may not be considered a "bug", I thought I would raise the issue again.

<script language=JavaScript>
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>

My workaround has been to call this sciprt in a separate .js file. Please refer to

... (when a page is resized in Opera 5.x/6.x the Milonic-menu becomes chaos..,

Just to add... I don't have a problem resizing with opera 6.05 in Win2k. Don't have op5, so can't comment on that.

Pat XHTML requires CDATA to hide any and all scripts.
(Comment noted and revised)

This is how to place the code in xhtml:

Code: Select all

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">

Be carefull if you copy and paste from the forum, you might pick up hidden characters. Make fresh returns to make sure its clean.

Sorry Maz, I don't know what CDATA is. I am referring to the install instructions for the js code required to be placed on each page where the menu is to appear.

[tepidarium]

When embedding one milonic menu in atable cell and setting postion to relative, sometimes Milonic menu can obscure form elements which occur in the flow of the code before the menu - the following example shows the blue background obscuring the form element above the menu (NOTE - this can only be seen in Netscape 6.1 - other browsers work fine... EXTRA NOTE - This problem did occur in Internet explorer but was solved by only embedding one menu in a table cell. Extra Extra Note -Upon relod of page Netscape 6.1 will display form element.

I have it

Faster loading, predefined bgimage changeover, all we need is background position.

bgimageposition= "x, 1px, 1px"; /*or em */
a.bgimageposition: "x, 1px, 10px";
h.bgimageposition: "x, 1px, 20px";
p.bgimageposition: "x, 1px, 30px";

say you have 4 images line them up in one image on top of each other.
You load one image, each time you call the same image in a different position.

Get it?

Andy how about it?

maz

Thanks, Maz. I didn't see the details on CDATA the first time. It worked, except I just needed to add a type="text/javascript" to make it compliant....

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
//]]>
</script>

Thanks again.

Hi

I have just testet RC18 and seen that following Bugs still remain for MAC IE5.2.

Offset properties for left and top sets the setoff different than in other browsers.

Look at http://recommended.itide.dk/Default.asp?Id=4

In the top right corner there is a popup language menu. It works fine in Safari and WIN IE6 but cannot be seen in MAC IE5.2. If I remove the "offset" for top and left property the language menu can be seen.

The setoffs are also wrong in the mainmenu.

Hope you can help

Thanks

Henrik

Using align as a menu property does not work. Using it as a menu style property or a menu item property does work, with the item use overriding the style use. Using ie6/ns7/win2k - RC19, Tuesday October 28 2003 - 11:12.

See http://milonic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2970

[tepidarium]

With the release of RC 19 - menu still crashes NS 4.7 running on MAC OS 9. Menu does not function correctly on IE 4.5 on MAC OS 9 - submenus don't position correctly & then menu stops responding...

[kevin3442]

I reported this in the bug forum a few RCs back, so please forgive the repeat. But since that forum is history, and since I notice the issue is still present, I thought I'd mention it here again.

The internal browser checking fails for Opera 6 when you set the browser to "Identify as Opera" under Quick Preferences (F12). If youi set it to identify as any other available setting -- Mozilla 5.0, Mozilla 4.78, Mozilla 3.0, MSIE 50 -- then op6 (in milonic_src.js) is true. This may not really be an internal "bug" unless some function internal to the menu is going to rely on an accurate op6 test. If that were the case, then I'd think this is a slightly more important matter. It also affects anyone who may wish to use the menu system's internal browser sniffing, since it's very thorough and uses common flags like ie5, ie55, ns7, op6, etc.

Testing with Opera 6.05 in Win2k, with any "Identify as" setting other than Opera, the navigator.userAgent contains 'Opera 6.05'. For example, a setting of Mozilla 5.0 yields a userAgent of

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows 2000; U) Opera 6.05 [en]

on the machine I'm using right now. But setting it to "Identify as Opera" yields a userAgent of

Opera/6.05 (Windows 2000; U) [en]

Note that the "Opera" part in this case contains a forward slash, as do the other "browser name/version num" representations when identifying as other browsers. The current test for op6 looks for userAgent.toLowerCase() containing 'opera 6', so the 'opera/6.05' that results from "Identify as Opera" fails the current op6 test.

Essentially, if you treated it like the current test for op7, it would work. In other words, Change

Code: Select all

op6=(_nu.indexOf("opera 6")!=-1)?_t:_f;

To

Code: Select all

op6=(_nu.indexOf("opera 6")!=-1||_nu.indexOf("opera/6")!=-1)?_t:_f;

Hope that made sense,

Kevin

In Opera 6, when my home page is first displayed, the border around the menu shrinks inward and then disappears, while the entire horizontal menu begins to march slowly to the right. The marching stops when the menu hits the right edge of the screen, so the menu is always visible. However, there's a bit of tag with the mouse while it's marching!

Try removing the over and out filters for your menuStyle2 (the one you use on the main menu). There is no reason to have a filter on this menu since its always visible and will not go through any transitions.
