status bar show "javascript;"

Post by rudy »

I am using the newest version of Milonic Menus:
Using Windows XP sp2 OS:

I noticed when I mouse over the menu tabs the word "javascript;" (without the quote marks) shows up in the status bar of my browser. Everything works fine and no javascript error showing but I think it has to do with the status=Exam Objectives; code. Actually, I just as soon not have anything showing up in the status bar of the brower - how should I edit this to just remove that part? I need the status=yes as this creates a status bar in the window that opens for older browser versions.

aI("text=Exam Objectives;oncolor=#FFFFFF;offcolor=#000000;url=http://www.networkdriven.com/hp22-quest ... =width=750 height=480 top=118 left=140 toolbar=no location=no status=yes; status=Exam Objectives;");

Hi,

Remove the status=Exam Objectives; from the aI. Actually that doesn't work anymore anyway because that can be considered a security issue so the function was removed from the menu back with 5.751. I think that's why you are getting the javascript in the status bar, because that 'property' is no longer available in the menu but you have it coded in the aI still. Check this and go down to the information on version 5.751 if you want more information on this.

Thanks Ruth - the following is the code after removing the status-Exam Objectives but it still shows "javascript:;" in the status bar. What could I be missing here do you think?

aI("text=Exam Objectives;oncolor=#FFFFFF;offcolor=#000000;url=http://www.networkdriven.com/hp22/inet_ ... =width=750 height=480 top=118 left=140 toolbar=no scrollbars=yes location=no status=yes;");

BTW - I am using Milonic version 5.774
You can see the "javascript:;" showing up in the status bar by mousing over the menu items at the link below.

Thanks for your help!

Hi,

Well, probably the same thing I missed :)

Notice the properties you are listing in the url for the window, one is status=yes. That probably is what is showing in the status bar.

Hi,

Well, it's the target features that is doing that, but I have no idea how to get rid of it unless you eliminate the target features. You'll have to contact Milonic direct about this, I think.

Yes, I removed the targetfeatures= line and of course it now just show a URL. I placed a support ticket earliar and am waiting for the fix. He has never let me down on this kind of thing. Hope he can give me a fix, as I really like my pages to open using different options that the targetfeature offered.

Thanks so much for your help!!!

I guess I hadn't noticed it before, but even on Milonics home page, when you mouse over any of the menu headers the "javascript:;" is shown. I will just remove the targetfeatures= from my menus and place the code in the linked window to handle the window open features, such as top, left, height and width. Thanks for all your help...

Hi,

The problem we have with status is that it's now considered insecure to be able to hide the link. This means that, by default, status text cannot be changed on newer browsers therefore we removed this feature as it was becoming obsolete.

HTH,
Andy
