Some pop up menu problem

Poster: chesschi
Dated: Saturday February 19 2005 - 17:16:00 GMT

I have some difficulties on using the Milonic DHTML problem
If I insert the HTML code of Milonic to use the popup menu, it seems that there is some conflict with my original code and the "menuobj" is point to null( I use MS FrontPage and it tells me). Originally if the Milonic code isn't added to the following code, it works! I dunno how to deal with it. Can anyone tell me why it will results in this problem?
Here is the code:

<html>
<style type="text/css">

</style>

<script type="text/javascript">

//Pop-it menu- By Dynamic Drive
//For full source code and more DHTML scripts, visit http://www.dynamicdrive.com
//This credit MUST stay intact for use

var linkset=new Array()
//SPECIFY MENU SETS AND THEIR LINKS. FOLLOW SYNTAX LAID OUT

linkset[0]='<div class="menuitems"><a href="http://dynamicdrive.com">Dynamic Drive</a></div>'
linkset[0]+='<hr>' //Optional Separator
linkset[0]+='<div class="menuitems"><a href="http://javascriptkit.com">JavaScript Kit</a></div>'
linkset[0]+='<div class="menuitems"><a href="http://freewarejava.com">Freewarejava</a></div>'

linkset[1]='<div class="menuitems"><a href="http://msnbc.com">MSNBC</a></div>'
linkset[1]+='<div class="menuitems"><a href="http://cnn.com">CNN</a></div>'
linkset[1]+='<div class="menuitems"><a href="http://abcnews.com">ABC News</a></div>'
linkset[1]+='<hr>' //Optional Separator

I don't see any Milonic code or reference in what you have posted.

Also, when posting code, please use the code tags provided.

I just post the original code, u can put the milonic code inside <body> </body> everywhere.

Here is the milonic code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="Java/milonic_src.js"></script>
<div class="milonic">
<a href="http://www.milonic.com/">JavaScript Menu, DHTML Menu Powered By Milonic</a></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt type=text/javascript src=Java/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt type=text/javascript src=Java/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="Java/menu_data.js"></script>

when i use MS Frontpage, it will display "menuobj.document is null or is not an object"....if the mouse is move over the link "Webmaster Links" or "News Sites"
Originally, a popup menu will dislay when the mouse is move over the link

Here is the 3 link, you can compare it

http://ihome.ust.hk/~eg_cwc/homepage/po ... y_code.htm

http://ihome.ust.hk/~eg_cwc/homepage/po ... c_code.htm
(I have been authorised to use milonic code, this one is for your reference use)

http://ihome.ust.hk/~eg_cwc/homepage/po ... d_code.htm

Description of 3 links:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
popup_with_my code: It's the original code that works!
popup_with_milonic_code: It's the milonic code that also works!
popup_with_combined_code: It is the combination of the above 2 codes but it fails......

Thanks a lot for your help~

Since the Milonic code is working in both cases where you have it posted (including together with the other menu code), there is nothing we can do to help. Milonic cannot debug code from someone else.

Why not use our code to do it all?
