Submenu visible onload?

I currently have Milonic 3 working on website http://bioharmonics.com. I have been playing around with the latest version of Milonic 5. I have two concerns:

1. I can see how to configure Milonic 5 to all everything the older version does, but I cannot figure out how to get the left vertical submenu to popup or showmenu so that it is visible when the page loads.

2. I purchase the license and I forgot to ask if it is good for subdomains. These subdomains are all just subdivisions within the same site.

Thanks for your efforts in advance.

Check the styles on the milonic site, I think you are looking for

alwaysvisible=1;

goes in style above your submenu items.

I guess I needed to be more specific.

If you go to http://bioharmonics.com, you will see that I have the left menu set up as a submenu in a table cell that popups up automatically when the page is loaded, and I use keepalive. . . BUT it is not always visible! I need the left menu to change with mouseovers of the bar menu under the tabs.

In the source code, you can see I used popup('submenuname') at the end of the page to make this feature work for both the mainmenu (bar) and the submenu. (You really have to mouseover the tabs and the horizontal bar menus under it to see what I have done, as it took months to test and integrate different menu systems for this to work as it does.) But with the latest Milonic version, using the same code only creates a horizontal line where left submenu should be until I actually mouseover the mainmenu.

It seems to me that I will need to add a modifying script somehow, but how to do this one is a bit beyond me.

You need to provide a link to your v5 page. Looking at v3 does us no good.

As for subdomains, yes, they are covered by your license.

BTW, your css links should be in the <head>, not the <body>.

I appreciate the help about the CSS, but for some reason it works better for SEO this way. I don't make the rules I just bend them to make it work. ;)

Now I understand why you might like to look at my v5, and I will be happy to upload it -- but I don't see how that will help. I am currently using a bare bones html page with one table. The one main menu and the submenus are relative in table cells. I am running v5 is unaltered. The submenu does not appear when the page loads regardless of how I try to code it.

All I want to know is if there is a way make the submenu appear onload and then behave as all the submenus should using keepalive. (If not I will just stay with version 3 as changing my menus would be a nightmare.)
