standard menu not working

Hi all,
I just downloaded this menu, created a empty html page with the code and uploaded the additional 4 files. I get a blank page, any suggestions?

The page looks fine, so giving the test url you are using would be of great help so that anyone checking can see what's happening.

It appears that you files in are a sub-directory "testing"
You did not address where the "js" files are located. I assume they also are in "testing".
Should be:
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/testing/milonic_src.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<script language=JavaScript>
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=/testing/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=/testing/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/testing/menu_data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>

For some reason the menu_data.js file doesn't have the actual main horizontal menu, it's only got all the submenus listed so of course nothing shows. This part is missing
Code:
with(milonic=new menuname("Main Menu")){
style=menuStyle;
top=10;
left=10;
alwaysvisible=1;
orientation="horizontal";
aI("text=Home;url=http://www.milonic.com/;status=Back To Home Page;");
aI("text=Menu Samples;showmenu=Samples;");
aI("text=Milonic;showmenu=Milonic;");
aI("text=Partners;showmenu=Partners;");
aI("text=Links;showmenu=Links;");
aI("text=My Milonic;showmenu=My Milonic;");
}
style=menuStyle;
top=10;
left=10;
alwaysvisible=1;
orientation="horizontal";
aI("text=Home;url=http://www.milonic.com/;status=Back To Home Page;");
aI("text=Menu Samples;showmenu=Samples;");
aI("text=Milonic;showmenu=Milonic;");
aI("text=Partners;showmenu=Partners;");
aI("text=Links;showmenu=Links;");
aI("text=My Milonic;showmenu=My Milonic;");
}
Without the main menu which is alwayvisible=1 nothing will show.

Where should I add it?
I have just downloaded the file, and did not even open it.

I added it second on the page, still same problem.

Since you are just testing, do another download of a sample file and take the "menu_data.js" and upload it to replace your exisitng.
Then you will see where things are suppose to fit.

that worked
weird.
Nb. I used example 9, so there must be a error in the file.

It's first on the page, meaning it's before the style definitions. It goes after this part.
Code:
with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){
onbgcolor="#4F8EB6";
oncolor="#ffffff";
offbgcolor="#DCE9F0";
offcolor="#515151";
etc.
after the full section of this menu style definition and before the onbgcolor="#4F8EB6";
oncolor="#ffffff";
offbgcolor="#DCE9F0";
offcolor="#515151";
etc.
Code:
with(milonic=new menuname("Samples")){
style=menuStyle;
overflow="scroll";
etc.
style=menuStyle;
overflow="scroll";
etc.

Just to clarify... Sample 9 is the "table bound" example. In that example, and that one only, the js code for the Main Menu appears in the table in menu.htm, rather than in the menu_data.js file. So it was just a matter of luck (bad in this case) that the sample you tried didn't have the main menu defined in menu_data.js!
