Milonic Link Covers up My Menu Items

So I know that until a pay for the software the Milonic link will appear in the menu bar, but why does it have to cover up the 1st item in the menu.

I have an intranet site that I am working on and the milonic link covers up the 1st item of each of the menus I put in the file. Here is a link to my test page that i have made public.

http://www.jcevans.com/milonic/index2.asp

If you refresh the page it shows the actual 1st item then the milonic llink covers it up.

Is it supposed to do this or is there something wrong with the way I am drawing out the menus? This is all ASP pulling from a MSSQL DB.

Hi,

Yes until you have a license for the menu it is supposed to do that. Usually what people who are in the design stage is to let milonic do its substitution, because as soon as there is a valid license the Milonic link won't appear anymore.

Need help with Cross Browser support

Thank you for the info Ruth. I kind of found a way to make it go away. Just for the time being . Once I am finished with the Dev side we will certainly pay for the menu system. Everyone including the CEO thinks its wonderful.

I have another Question about cross browser compatablilty. It seems that with IE everything works perfectly. With FireFox, Safari, IE for Mac it seems to have the same problem, the moseover dies as soon as you hit the first item in the list that has a space in the text description. Well actaully it dies in that when you mouseover the text nothing happens, then menu is displayed but even with a click you go no where.

for example...

with(milonic=new menuname("Main Menu")){
style=miniStyle;
alwaysvisible="1";
orientation="1";
position="relative";
aI("text='Accounting';showmenu=Accounting;");
aI("text='Equipment';showmenu=Equipment;");
aI("text='Estimating';showmenu=Estimating;");
aI("text='Executives';showmenu=Executives;");
aI("text='Expendables';showmenu=Expendables;");
aI("text='Field Time';url=https://field.jcevans.com/field.asp;");
aI("text='HR Dept';showmenu=HR Dept;");
aI("text='MyAdmin';showmenu=MyAdmin;");
aI("text='Safety';showmenu=Safety;");
aI("text='ShopTime';showmenu=ShopTime;");
aI("text='Survey';showmenu=Survey;");
aI("text='TruckTime';url=https://field.jcevans.com/trucktime/trucktime.asp;");

I added the single quotes hoping that would help but alass it did not. Everything works until you get to Field Time then nothing works past that point. Even stranger is that it will only work on the word Field and not on the word Time.

Any thoughts on how to fix this

Hi,

Without having the the html, any css and the menu data file [which I have from the other link] I can't really see what's going on. For example you have position="relative"; but I'm not seeing any kind of table with the menu in it.

Hi,

Posting it would be best, I have email problems a lot!

Post the html just as it is on your site so I have the layout and calls for files, and post any css you have if it's in a separate css file.

well then here you go.
This the HTML for the menu/navigation



There are some addtional CSS settings in the linked file but I didn't see anything that would be relavent to the issue. Again in the Windows IE everything works just fine, but in FireFox, Safari, IE for Mac it seems to die when you get to the 1st item in the list that has a space in the text description which is Field Time, and then even stranger is that the mouseover works on the word Field but not the word Time and then everything past that point nothing works.

Add I also need to know how to make a parent item on the menu also be a link. IN other words how to I get an item that has a showmenu call in also become a link. I added the url call in and that doesn't seem to work.

Sorry for the mulitple questions in a singe non related thread

now that I have a registered version and I have wrapped it all in a table everything seems to be working just fine through all the browsers.

I still need to know how to make a perent menu item linkable though.

Hi,

Glad it is working correctly.

What do you mean make a parent item linkable? If you want it to open a page or go to a page when clicked you'd just put in the url parameter.

url=http://whatever;

Thanks Ruth, for some reason I thought I had done that already, but when i went back and looked I realized that I did it every where except the last place where it draws out all the parent items. Thanks for all your help. this is a wonderful menu system.
