Version 3.3.0 is now ready for a little testing.

Hi Andy

I've had a quick look at the 3.3 beta at http://milonic.co.uk/menu/beta/

Found a few bugs, but before beginning can I ask that you make a zip of the beta versions available to testers
reasons:
- the sound embed causes nasty 'find me this plugin?' sequences in some browsers, making it a pain to test in multiple old browsers - thus want to be able to edit the beta test html file
- for mac/ie debugging, it helps to have the code flattened into one html file
- I'd like to check appearance/behaviour of our own menus - add some new conditions to the testing

(I downloaded the files by sucking them from the 'beta' directory one at a time, but it'd be easier to have a zip)

cheers, Mike
--------------
Mac OS 9.1

-- NS 4.75 --

Have not yet been able to view the page because of plugin problems - will get back to you

****** -- IE5.0: -- (notoriously buggy version of IE/mac)

1 - plain vertical menu works OK (by the way, the 'header' items are a very welcome improvement - this will allow us to have 'dimmed' items in action-menus)

2 - table-bound menu: js error thrown when mouse moved over a top-level menu item

- Object doesn't support this property or method (a catch-all error message)
- line 185 char 1 (this is almost useless since it counts lines *before* any script includes - I'll try again with the script includes flattened into the html page so the error will be pointed to more accurately)
- sequence of events:
- roll mouse over, eg 'Development'
- error msg dialog thrown
- menu *does* pop down (behind the error dialog)
- after dismissing dialog (with mouse within popped-down menu), menu behaves correctly


3 - link-invoked menu: similar error when mouse moved into the menu

- same error / line number etc as above
- sequence of events:
- click link
- menu pops down
- move mouse onto a menu item
- error generated
- after dismissing dialog (with mouse within popped-down menu), SAME ERROR thrown each time mouse moved between menu items

BUT NOTE - I tested link-invoked menus yesterday] with 3.2 and it worked (except that - as is common with ie5/mac - I had to put the popup() call in a setTimeout)

4 - odd behaviour of dismissing menus after these errors occur (but not before)

- after error msg 'ok-ed', menus no longer dismiss properly from the vertical menu
- they will dismiss only when mouse moved over a header element (or into another menu on the page)
- erratic behaviour after error msg for menus invoked from table-bound menu


****** -- IE4.5: -- (stabler, but less standards-compliant - very different from ie5/mac)

1 - on pageload, get the venerable 'object does not support...' at line 794 before any html renders (line numbers are not that informative)
- page loads instantly after erromsg dismissed, but
2 - table-bound menu does not appear
3 - *vertical* menu does not appear
4 - first-time click on link-invoked menu gives 'MouseY is not defined' at line 222 / char 272
5 - second click on the link gives menu OK, and menu behaves OK, but will not dismiss (but can be re-invoked at different x-y)</HTML>

<HTML>Can these problems be checked out with v3.3 Beta 2.

I'd like to get the menu out as soon as possible.
