menu in opera 6

Poster: catt
Dated: Thursday July 18 2002 - 18:14:25 BST

when I first load or reload my page with the menu on it in an opera browser the drop-downs do not work at all. The only way I can get round this is firstly click on a link in the menu which has no drop-down within it then hit back on the browser.

Anyone have any ideas why this is happening and can I fix it?

Thanx

I cannot give you the url as connections are not accepted from external computers. Here is the code for the menu. As I said it is only in Opera browser (6) that this problem occurs.

Any help would be great thanx! :)

[code]
//The following line is critical for menu operation, and MUST APPEAR ONLY ONCE. If you have more than one menu_array.js file rem out this line in subsequent files
menunum=0;menus=new Array();_d=document;function addmenu(){menunum++;menus[menunum]=menu;}function dumpmenus(){mt="<script language=javascript>";for(a=1;a<menus.length;a++){mt+=" menu"+a+"=menus["+a+"];"}mt+="<\/script>";_d.write(mt)}
//Please leave the above line intact. The above also needs to be enabled if it not already enabled unless this file is part of a multi pack.

Not the expert here and don't know if this makes a difference, but your style definitions are a bit different than what I see in the release files. Here's one from Andy...

style1=[ // style1 is an array of properties. You can have as many property arrays as you need. This means that menus can have their own style.
"navy", // Mouse Off Font Color
"ccccff", // Mouse Off Background Color
"ffebdc", // Mouse On Font Color
"4b0082", // Mouse On Background Color
"000000", // Menu Border Color
12, // Font Size in pixels
"normal", // Font Style (italic or normal)
"bold", // Font Weight (bold or normal)
"Verdana, Arial", // Font Name
4, // Menu Item Padding
"arrow.gif", // Sub Menu Image (Leave this blank if not needed)
, // 3D Border & Separator bar
"66ffff", // 3D High Color
"000099", // 3D Low Color
"Purple", // Current Page Item Font Color (leave this blank to disable)
"pink", // Current Page Item Background Color (leave this blank to disable)
"arrowdn.gif", // Top Bar image (Leave this blank to disable)
"ffffff", // Menu Header Font Color (Leave blank if headers are not needed)
"000099", // Menu Header Background Color (Leave blank if headers are not needed)
"navy", // Menu Item Separator Color
]

Note it ends with "// Menu Item Separator Color" and a single "]", where you have yours ending with "]; // Sub menu offset Left position". I know the comment doesn't matter, but what about the ";" after the "]" in your version?

thanx

3.4.12 is current. Is that what you're using?
