About that fancy 'You-Are-Here' feature on the Milonic site

[Areometer]

Hi, I have noticed that this site uses a fancy version of 'you are here'. IE: the current page name is being high-lighted inside the menu. This fancy version uses not just high-lighting, but also a double red arrows to show the right page.

May I ask if we are granted this feature? If yes then where can I read more about it?

On another note, the followscroll="1" + position="relative" no longer work together (when compared to the old 5.0 ver.). This is important I think if one wants his menu to first appear within a table. Then follow-scroll through that exact vertical axis downward when one scrolls down the page. Is there any way to trick these to work together again?

Finally, I wonder if some of the icons used on this site is available for us to use (of course that I will buy the lisence shortly)?

Thank you in advance.

I use pageimage to show an arrow on current page.

Thanks. I wonder how come this is not mentioned anywhere else? Right now, mine works for only submenus, but not the 1st level one like this website.

Please take a look here:

http://www.Aquaristics.com - main page

http://www.Aquaristics.com/news_aquaristics.asp - you can test the pageimage parameters here

Thanks.

Its probably your paths.

/Milonic2/arrow.gif

remove the ../ and just use /before path on all the others.

Thanks again for your reply.

My code says:

with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){
onbgcolor="#C2E1FE";
oncolor="#000000";
offbgcolor="#FFFFFF";
offcolor="#000000";
bordercolor="#296488";
borderstyle="solid";
borderwidth=1;
separatorcolor="#2D729D";
separatorsize="1";
padding=5;
fontsize="95%";
fontstyle="normal";
fontfamily="Verdana, Arial, Tahoma";
pageimage="/img9/arrowred.gif";
pagecolor="black";
pagebgcolor="#e6e6e6";
headercolor="#000000";
headerbgcolor="lightyellow";
subimage="/Milonic2/arrow.gif";
subimagepadding="2";
overfilter="Fade(duration=0.2);Alpha(opacity=99);Shadow(color='#777777', Direction=135, Strength=3)";
outfilter="randomdissolve(duration=0.3)";
}

But the main menu still has no red arrow shown at the current page. Only the submenus have the red arrows. You can take a look at the actual page here: http://www.aquaristics.com/pro_lightriga.asp

Aqua Connect is highlighted at the main menu but it has no red arrow. Only its submenus (2 layers) have the red arrows.

Thank you again.

I don't know if I understand your code, but take this out of the table and place it under the body tag. Remove the ..

<!-- Milonic Menu here-->
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="../Milonic2/milonic_src.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript>
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=../Milonic2/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=../Milonic2/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="../Milonic2/menu_data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>


If you want this in a table that's okay:

<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="../Milonic2/menu_data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>


Make sure the image is in the folder.

Hi, I did everything that you suggested. But the result is exactly the same. For some reasons, the red arrow doesn't show in the highlighted main menu.

I am not sure if you need to see this code:

with(milonic=new menuname("Main Menu")){
style=menuStyle;
top=10;
left=10;
alwaysvisible=1;
orientation="vertical";
screenposition="center, left";
position="relative";
aI("text=&nbsp;Home;url=http://www.aquaristics.com/;status=Back To Aquaristics Home Page;image=http://www.aquaristics.com/MilonicVertical/home.gif;");
aI("text=<b> Index :</b>;separatorcolor=green;separatorsize=1;type=header;align=left;");
aI("text=Aqua Connect&nbsp;;showmenu=Aqua Connect;");
aI("text=Schuran;showmenu=Schuran;");
aI("text=<b> Info :</b>;separatorcolor=green;separatorsize=1;type=header;align=left;");
aI("text=News;showmenu=News;");
aI("text=Contact;showmenu=Contact;");
aI("text=Mailing List;showmenu=Mailing List;");
aI("text=Monitor Site;showmenu=Monitor;");
}

I just purchased the license. Any one who can help me in resolving this issue? Thank you in advance.

Its a feature I've not used before, but looked very useful so I tried to implement it also.

It highlights my home page, but if when I go to another, it doesn't make the change for some reason.

[Areometer]

What is your URL? I would like to take a look.

Click on Andy's 'www' button.

You might have to use pagematch= -matching url-

I'm with you. I've tried everything i can think of and cannot get the arrow to display like it does on Milonic I really like that.

Andy's page contains a lot of external links and the few local ones that I tried didn't even highlight the current page!

My case is a lil' better, the highlighting works beautifully well, but the "pageimage" only shows in subsequent levels, not the top one. BUT let me stress it again that the highlighting works flawlessly in ALL levels. Wierd huh?

Anyway, I have since removed the pageimage feature altogether. Now my page only highlights.

[cubefree]

Hmm.... my pagematch seemed to have stopped working with the new release.... http://www.stillpointhealth.net/dev/

Try 'Services' link -- SIDE NOTE (you have to click above the image because, for some reason, since this image is larger than the others the cursor does not change to the hand until you're well above the image.)

Andy says per http://milonic.com/forum/viewtopic. ... highlight=

It's your CSS - As you've got global styles set for A: this is having an
effect on the menu.

Global CSS styles for 'DIV', 'TABLE', 'TR', 'TD' and 'A' will break the menu
because the menu consists of these HTML properties.

But I've check all CSS and it did not define those globally... so.. ?? I don't know....

Hmm.... my pagematch seemed to have stopped working with the new release....

I believe the new release broke it. See today's discussion in this thread.

Edit: I have reported this as a possible bug.

[Ruth]

it's the LINE-HEIGHT: 18px; in the HTML { and the BODY { with those removed the mouseover and click starts immediately anyplace in the image area.


And, I still can't get the pretty arrows to work
