Disappearing navigation on mac ie 5.2

Has anybody come across the same problem and fixed it???
The menu seems to work beautifully in all browsers mac and pc but somehow in IE5.2 on a mac the navigation suddenly disappears after clicking on the link. It comes back once the page has refreshed.
Anybody out there who could help....?
Thanks!!!!

Need a url, and make sure you scripts are under the body tag.

Disappearing navigation on mac
Poster: Iain

I'm experiencing the same problem on IE 5.0+ browsers running on a Mac. I placed the following scripts:
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="milonic_src.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<script language=JavaScript>
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="menu_data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
in the header as per the example that Milonic supplied. I have also tried them in the body of the document (assuming I understood your reply to nathaliew correctly), but it didn't make any difference to how the menus worked.
The URL for this site is http://dev.waterlessuk.org
We are aware that a sizable chunk of our target audience are using these browsers running on OS 9.x and above.
If you know of a suitable fix, I should be very grateful.[/url]

We'll have a fix for this in version 5.25 due out later today.

Sorry folks, you might want to step back a version until the fix is out.
I already gave Andy indigestion when I pointed it out.
Thank you for your patience,

Milonic Script in <HEAD> or <BODY>?
Poster: rudy
Dated: Friday June 18 2004 - 19:25:24 BST
I know the installating instructions for the Milonic Menus states the <SCRIPT> should be placed in either the <HEAD> or <BODY> section of the HTML page you wish the menu to show up in.
A couple of users state this must be put in the <BODY> section or the menu will not show up, or work properly, in the MAC users pages. Is this the case?
Are the instructions correct, or do I need to move th <SCRIPT> out of my <HEAD> tag and into the <BODY> tag?

Rudy,
Good question, apprently its been changed so it should work in either, but I don't know if that applies to mac.
I'm having problems too and mine is in body so that's probably not the solution you are looking for. I don't like to assume anything but it could be the latest fix for Firefox crossed over to ie.

Installed version 5.25 and the problem with the menus disappearing in IE 5.0+ running on Mac OS 9.x has been removed. There seems to have been some interest regarding where the <script> tags should be placed, I put mine in the the <head> section and everything is working fine.
Many thanks for the fix.
Cheers,
Iain

As far as I know, there's only one case that requires you to load the menu scripts into the <body> instead of the <head>. That's when you are using a table-bound menu (relative positioning) and you want it to work in IE on a Mac (look here for more info).
Cheers,
Kevin

Hi Kevin,
No, I don't have my Milonic menu in a table so I guess I should be alright.

I have viewed my menu using ICapture but that does not allow me to actually test the menu. I don't have a MAC or know anyone that does, so I thought I would ask the question as I have read a couple of differing opinions on this. Of course, I would like the menu to work in as many OS platforms and browsers as possible.
Thanks again for your help

Thanks Maz - I didn't expect to get a volunteer...
Here is the link if your using a screen resolution of 800x600:

Here is the link if your using a screen resolution of 1,024x768 or greater:
http://www.networkdriven.com/hp22/9Ab898b.html
I guess I would like to know if the menu is showing up at all? If it is centered on the screen? If it has some space between the menus and the rather large image directly below it? And, if the submenus are dropping down properly, etc.
Thanks so much maz

You're welcome,
Safari looks fine, only when I mouse over the brown probably your header the text disappears when the mouse leaves so its just brown.
ie works fine, except instead of disappearing, it turns blue when the mouse leaves.
I've had problems with headers before, not sure what it is, check css too.
Regards,
maz

One thing to check is all the a.link css color codes. I finally had to eliminate them to prevent text from disappearing, though I think it was the hover or active that was doing it.

I have found that for Mac IE 5.2, the scripts can be placed in the <head> section, but the key item is the drawMenus() which is contained in menu_data.js. If you comment out drawMenus() and instead place just the drawMenus() in a script beneath the body. It will work.
I had a problem on mac ie5.2 where the body's id assigned to it via css was being ignored until I placed the drawMenus() after the body statement.
