Missing Home Page Icon


Poster: darkcircuituk
Dated: Monday August 23 2004 - 13:15:42 BST

I have added a link to my website homepage on my context right click menu, and when you are not on the homepage, the icon in the context menu is present, but the moment you goto the homepage and then bring up the context menu again, the icon is missing. Can someone tell me why please? :cry: and how to fix it :cry:

A URL is always requested. Helps a lot!

Confusion

I don't mean to be ungrateful but either I don't understand your reply or I explained my problem wrong.

I am using sample 27 (the right click context menu), and when I right click on a page other than the homepage stated in the right click menu, then the context menu comes up with the homepage icon present next to the link. But when I goto the homepage then bring up the right click menu, the homepage icon is missing like it is unable to find the file (although the link to the homepage does still work). Is it possible to stop the icon disapeering when I goto the homepage stated in the right click menu?

We need a URL for your site where you are having the problem.

Not to worry - it didn't sound ungrateful.

Slight Problem with Your Request

One slight problem, the website is internal and therefore cannot be accessed by the outside world, and due to the company's data security policy, I am unable to display a whole page worth of code. But when I return to work tomorrow, I can send u a couple of snippets of the code for specific sections, that you believe would help you to determine the problem. Please let me know which sections of code I should place here.

Post at least the menu _data file and the JS menu calls. If you're doing anything "strange" in the HTML please post that as well (what you can).

Don't forget to use the [code][/code] tags when posting the code.

Here's the code

drawMenus()


The call to the menu can be seen below:

Code:
<head>
<title>Useful Links</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://intranet/include/intranet.css">
<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/right_click_menu/menu_data.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/right_click_menu/milonic_src.js"></script>   
<script   type="text/javascript">
<!--
  _d.write("<script language=JavaScript src=../js/right_click_menu/mmenudom.js></script>");
-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="../js/right_click_menu/menu_data.js"></script>
</head>

Hope you can help :-(

Hi,

I see two potential problems in the code you posted.

(1) When you load your menu source files with the following code:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu_data.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="milonic_src.js"></script>
<script   type="text/javascript">
<!--
  _d.write("<script language=JavaScript src=mmenudom.js></script>");
-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu_data.js"></script>
you are loading menu_data.js twice! menu_data.js should only be loaded once, and it should be done after menu_src.js, etc. are loaded. Also (and this isn't a poblem so much as a style thing), it looks like you've eliminated mmenuns4.js... I'm guessing because it's an intranet and you don't need to support ns4. Good call. However, if you don't need the conditional test, then you don't need to load mmenudom.js using document.write(). You could replace
Code:
<script   type="text/javascript">
<!--
  _d.write("<script language=JavaScript src=mmenudom.js></script>");
-->
</script>
with
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="mmenudom.js"></script>

The entire block of code would then be:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="milonic_src.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="mmenudom.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu_data.js"></script>


(2) I would guess that the loss if the image you mentioned is probablydue to a path problem; the browser can't find the image using the path you specified. The paths you use seem odd to me:
Code:
image=http://scmpr3/management/...etc.

To me, an http:// should be followed by a domain name or IP address for the web server, then by directory paths and file names. Yours appears to be followed immediately by a directory name. Maybe your webserver is set up in a fashion that I'm not used to? If scmpr3 branches off of the site's root, then you should be find by just specifying
Code:
image=/scmpr3/management/...etc.


That's my best guess without being able to see the actual pages. Hope it helps.

Kevin

Fixed it

I fixed the prob, thanks anyway :-)

It was to do with how the menu has been designed.
