Tooltip Problem
Poster: Pakoni
Dated: Friday May 14 2004 - 11:42:41 BST
Hi!
I'm testing the menu around with tooltips for a client of my company (we will be buying it as soon as the website is ended), and I've had a problem with the tooltips.
The menu structure is:
Main menu (tooltips onmouseover)
Submenu1
Submenu2
...
SubmenuN
No tooltips should be shown on sub-menus
Well, when I first time step from main menu to a submenu, tooltips disappear (as expected) and appear again (don't know why) until i step to another option in the submenu. I don't know if I have expressed correctly, so I'm attaching an image.
So you can see what happens when Submenu1 displays Submenu1.1. The problem is why the tooltips appear again on submenus (just first time, as I said before).
Thanks in advance.

Can you give us a URL and confirm which release of the menu you are using?

The web site is still under development and hosted in a temporary server, but we have to know if this problem can be solved.

Have you tried updating the JS files? Yours are dated March 26th - V5.1
The current release is 5.18.

Hello again after a while!
I've tried updating the files to version 5.22 (current version right now), but the problem I mentioned a month ago is still going on.
The url has changed since my last post, for matters of development.

I've found this topic, and because my problem is using tooltip I do not open a new topic...
I'm preparing the pages, as you may see here I have a trial:
http://www.cantodellasfinge.net/cruci/menu.shtml
JS resides in different directories as you may see here.
Code:
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/js/menu/milonic_src.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<script language=JavaScript>
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=/js/menu/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=/js/menu/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="/js/menu/tooltips.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<script language=JavaScript>
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=/js/menu/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=/js/menu/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="/js/menu/tooltips.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
I have put the call for the menu inside the body of the page:
Code:
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/cruci/cruci_data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
You may easily see the cruci_data.js, but I followed the menusample6 in the site.
Here is a fragment of the code:
Code:
with(milonic=new menuname("Cruciverba")){
style=menuStyle;
top=100;
left=209;
alwaysvisible=1;
orientation="horizontal";
aI("text=Indice;url=/cruci;status=Torna a Indice;");
aI("text=Andy1;onfunction=showtip('Cruciverba premiato al primo Raduno<br> tenuto a San Miniato');url=/cruci/cruciminiato/andy1.asp;status=Andy1");
....
style=menuStyle;
top=100;
left=209;
alwaysvisible=1;
orientation="horizontal";
aI("text=Indice;url=/cruci;status=Torna a Indice;");
aI("text=Andy1;onfunction=showtip('Cruciverba premiato al primo Raduno<br> tenuto a San Miniato');url=/cruci/cruciminiato/andy1.asp;status=Andy1");
....
Apparently I made somthing wrong: moving the mouse over I have back an error. Somebody understands why?

When I hover over the menu item "Andy1" it immediately goes to another page. Try putting the URL before the tooltip.

Right!
The page that the tool try to access is http://www.cantodellasfinge.net/cruci/M_toolTips
I imagine this is a generated address.
Problem is: why?
Why the demonstration page from Milonic works fine?
More: what do you mean with "Try putting the URL before the tooltip" ?
Really it is!
Code:
with(milonic=new menuname("Cruciverba")){
style=menuStyle;
top=100;
left=209;
alwaysvisible=1;
orientation="horizontal";
aI("text=Indice;url=/cruci;status=Torna a Indice;");
aI("text=Andy1;onfunction=showtip('Cruciverba bla, bla, bla');url=/cruci/cruciminiato/andy1.asp;status=Andy1;");
style=menuStyle;
top=100;
left=209;
alwaysvisible=1;
orientation="horizontal";
aI("text=Indice;url=/cruci;status=Torna a Indice;");
aI("text=Andy1;onfunction=showtip('Cruciverba bla, bla, bla');url=/cruci/cruciminiato/andy1.asp;status=Andy1;");

I've noticed something!
Only the tooltips.js file cannot (apparently) stay in a different directory: it must be on the same directory where the page stays.
This is a trouble, of course.
http://www.cantodellasfinge.net/cruci/menu.html
This page mantains the files in a different directory, except the tooltips.js
Code:
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/js/menu/milonic_src.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<script language=JavaScript>
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=/js/menu/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=/js/menu/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/cruci/cruci_data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="tooltips.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<script language=JavaScript>
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=/js/menu/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=/js/menu/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="/cruci/cruci_data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="tooltips.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
And the menu is working!
Of course I cannot put a tooltips.js in every directory where I need a page!
I need some help.

That should not be the case. You can call the tooltips file the same way you call the other menu files from your /js/ or /cruci/ directory.

You are right, and this is exactly what I think! Unfortunately, in my case, it seems not working.
Really (after a million of other trials) I've seen that when the page grows more complex I cannot manage anymore the tooltips file.
For example, this should be a complete page of the site:
http://www.cantodellasfinge.net/cruci/c ... roll.shtml
I have disabled the tooltips because it was not working using any method. The menu is complex enough, with follow scrolling feature and drag me away! Everything is working, but if I put a single showtip command inside, the whole thing is not working anymore.
I cannot imagine why!
Everything's fine

Sorry for a late answer, but I've been on holidays and after that the development was stopped until now.
The problem has solved now (I downloaded v5.44) and everything runs smooth.
We are waiting domain verification to buy the license.
Thanks to everybody!
