My menu is not highlight where I am on my website. I have tried several things. my Milonic menu is in a table and I have read the help about putting the menu in a table but this didn't help. Any suggestions? thanks in advance. I have only worked on Director's office under programs. Other links may or may not work!!!

Here is my menu_data and a link to my page.

Two problems need fixing first.

You're quite a bit down-level with your menu code. You have 5.33, current is 5.728. You'll need to upgrade that.

Also, your JS menu calls are out of order. The call to _data comes last in the chain of our four calls. See install.txt that comes in the download.

I fixed the problems but still have the same issues.

Hi,

The 3 base program files have to match. You have to upload all three of them. Right now when I go to the page, the milonic_src.js file is 5.728, but the other two files, which you seem to have renamed to menudom and menuns4 are still the old files. That will not work. So the menu is not loading now and we have no way to test what's happening for the highlighting.

I jumped back down to 5.33. The server to grab the other files is down at the moment. But it still should work in 5.33 right?

Yes, the menu will work using the older version. But, we can't fix any problem as to highlighting while you use that.

But it works on this site with 5.33

Support is provided for the latest version. We don't have any way to go back and try and figure out what's going on in an older version. We are volunteers we don't even have access to old versions.

I suggest, since this is a test page, you upload the new version to the test area so we can see what's going on. If you're going to use the old version, we don't have a way to help. Sorry.

Besides, you're losing a lot of added capabilities using the old version.

Supporting only the most current version, in addition to what Ruth has explained, is Milonic policy. From the version page on the main site, in big red letters...

All Versions below this line are now obsolete and are no longer supported.

Your 5.33 is way below the line!

In many cases we have found that simply updating to the current version fixes the problem (not all cases, of course, but many). That alone is probably the main reason we will not waste time on shooting bugs on old versions - it's a waste of everybody's time if a simple (correct) upgrade will fix things.

Let us know when you get upgraded properly. If the problem is still there we'll be happy to work on it.
