We have been seeing some problems where the script is split up, as you have in your example (i.e., you have your "Main Menu" piece of the script on your HTML page). While this is the way the example shows, it appears that it does not always work.

Try moving the entire "Main Menu" piece back into the menu_data.js file. Don't forget to delete the <script>, </script>, and drawMenus(); from the body HTML (and don't accidentally put them in the menu_data file!).

Also, please provide a URL so we can take a look at what's happening.

Let us know how it goes.

Do what John said...and....
If you'll notice, fffff is not an actual color, you forgot an f, you'd be amazed at the havoc something as small as this can sometimes cause.

I can't understand the item before "Les ????" are you sure it is recognizing the ; or ;; the last letter looks like %?

If that's not it...

onsubimage begins, see if you can place it in submenu style and remove from menu items. I would test different positions to see if it works better.

I don't undertstand this part of your answer-->"Les ????" are you sure it is recognizing the ; or ;; the last letter looks like %?

i have put onsubimage on the submenu style (that help a lot for the management of the site) but it doesn't work better with ie on mac OS X and mac OS 9

Glad to hear that little f was all that was f'ing up your menu. Umm, I loaded the menu and the items appeared right where they should be. What browser are you using, that may be the difference. Also, do what john said and REMOVE the main menu code from the <TD> tag in your menu and put it back into menu_array. Then inside of that <TD> just put the <SCRIPT src=...></SCRIPT> call to menu_data. It will help.

Also maz, the menu should be fine understanding the ;'s , whether there are one, two, three or more in a row. All the menu looks for is a pattern like ";<keyword>=" with the keyword being url, or showmenu, or text, etc. Thats why &nbsp; works ok because it doesnt match the pattern so it just outputs it as is.

i did remove the main menu from the code, but it is worth the sub menu and the subsubmenu are on the wrong place;

I use ie 5.2.2 on mac os X.

safari is perfect

on windows it is perfect ...

and why the problem only appear on "vie municipale" menu and not on the other

I just looked at your code, and the main menu code is still in the HTML. You have not made the changes I suggested.

Then I have to say there's a problem somewhere else, or you didn't do it right (sorry). In all the other times we have had folks do this it has fixed numerous problems.

Maz -- but on my mac the subsubmenu "vie municipale/les commisions" and "vie municipale/les services administratifs" appears about the middle of my screen an not near the item "les commisions" or near "les services administratif"
if you go "les services/les aides" the subsubmenu is perfect well place on the right and few pixel below.
Do you think it's a bug of my internet explorer 5.2.2

I'm at work now so can no longer check it on a Mac. You might want to try upgrading your IE to 5.2.3 (the last version M$ will ever come out with for OS X), but I really don't think that's the problem.

I did see the error you describe earlier when I was at home, and it's only on that one menu as you said. However, that menu is in the proper place in other browsers, so this is probably going to take some digging.

Since I'm almost 4 hours late getting in this morning (truck trouble), it seems I have to get some 'real' work done before I can look at this again

Oh... now the sub-submenu is off. Maybe its related to the table bug.

Did you understand my other comment?

Sometimes I had problems with images causing strangeness using xpmenu, what I did was test the image in different positions within style.

One image would only work in item, another worked better in submenu style another in overall submenu style. It means taking the image out of all the item styles and trying one in overall style for submenus or the submenu style. Its only going to use the image when its needed so there is no need to put it in item unless it doesn't work elsewhere.

Make sure you can revert back incase it doesn't work out.

Another thing that caused problems was followscroll, when I removed all references to followscroll everything acted normally.

In the end I'm not sure where the real problem is. But first it seemed like the first call for onsubimage may have been the problem, now it seems like the second call is doing it as if its doubled the placement from the parent menu.

I'm going to give this onsubimage a try myself, as if I don't have enough problems already.

I placed onsubimage once in the overall style and it works. Listing it on each item may be the problem.

Is it working now, cat? I went to the page you indicated and the code is different than it was earlier this morning.

The only thing I have been doing differently than you have on that page (http://www.actimac.fr/tests/ville-cormelles3/) is I put the <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="/tests/ville-cormelles3/menu_js/milonic_src.js" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT> call as the first item after the <body>, rather than in the <td>. The <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="/tests/ville-cormelles3/menu_js/menu_data.js" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT> call stays in the <td> as you have it.
