Mouseover Problems


Poster: lesley
Dated: Wednesday April 6 2005 - 16:32:37 BST

I've set up a menu at http://www.advertisebydesign.co.uk/milonic/ and when I mouseover any of the menu items they are very slow to load the image, leaving the menu item with a transparent background. Even once they've loaded if you move up and down the list quickly they don't show properly.

This only happens in IE - Firefox and Opera have no problem at all. I am using the latest version of the menu.

I've tried preloading the images in the body tag but it makes no difference.

Can anyone help?

The code is:

Code:
with(background=new mm_style()){
bgimage="menujs/submenu.gif";
borderstyle="solid";
fontfamily="Arial";
fontsize="12px";
fontstyle="normal";
fontweight="normal";
image="menujs/transparent.gif";
imagepadding=4;
itemheight=25;
itemwidth=150;
offcolor="#FFFFFF";
oncolor="#D6E6FE";
overbgimage="menujs/menu_on.gif";
subimage="menujs/arrow_down.gif";
subimagepadding=8;
}

with(milonic=new menuname("Main Menu")){
alwaysvisible=1;
itemheight=25;
itemwidth=150;
left=30;
orientation="horizontal";
style=background;
top=100;
aI("bgimage=menujs/menu_off.gif;image=menujs/blank.gif;overbgimage=menujs/menu_on.gif;status=Who we are ;text=Who we are;url=who.php;");

Downlaod the Image Pre-loading module. Upload the module and place the call for it after the menus have been built i.e. after the call for the menus.
Code:
<script language="JavaScript1.2" type="text/javascript" src="preloadmenuimages.js"></script>
using your own path to the module.

First thing I'd do is build a second style for the menus starting with 'What' and below. Get all that stuff out of there that should be in a style.

You also have a lot in your Main Menu that can go back into the existing style.

Many thanks for your help. I've done both of those but it doesn't seem to have made any difference. I reduced the number of menu items to see if that was a problem but again no difference.

I've included my updated code and any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Code:
_menuCloseDelay=500;
_menuOpenDelay=150;
_subOffsetTop=0;
_subOffsetLeft=0;


with(background=new mm_style()){
bgimage="menujs/menu_on.gif";

itemheight=25;
itemwidth=150;
offcolor="#FFFFFF";

overbgimage="menujs/menu_on.gif";
