Menu Arrays loaded between script tags

Hi,

I ran this by Andy, and he said this would work, however I can't seem to make it work.

To test this out, I took then entire menu_array.js file and loaded it into menu.htm between script tags like this ( see below - abbreviated) I didn't modify the file at all, just copied and pasted between the script tags.. And ... No Menu.
I then deleted the stuff in between the script tags, and re-inserted the reference to menu_array.js and everything worked fine. Tried this on both IE 6, and Mozilla 1.0 both have the same behavior.

Code:

<script language=javascript>
// Example of how I loaded the data between the script tags
menunum=0;menus=new Array();
timegap=500         // The time delay for menus to remain visible

style1=[   // style1 is an array of properties. You 
addmenu(menu=[
</script>

Not sure what was causing this, but it works fine.

Also, if anyone is interested, I am just about done with a DotNet control that will read an XML file and create the Milonic Menu. It does have a limitation in that I validate numbers. This would cause a problem where you would want to insert a script instead of a number.

This could be very powerful in that the next step would be to have the menu created from a database, and dynamically change based upon users, and or page content.

If anyone wants this when I get done, email me at wmswartz __at__ sbcglobal.net.

I am also spending a little time documenting the Style and Array items as I go through my debugging process.
