Two menus in page, only one responding to _MenuOpenDelay

I have a relative menu and an image based menu. The "in-page" relative menu works with the delay fine (in-page meaning the top level menu is directly in the HTML, the subsequent sub-menus are in the JS file). The image-based menu simply pops its menu up immediately, cued off of gif mouseover events. I have _horizontalMenuDelay=true right underneath my _menuCloseDelay params... any suggestions?

Hi,

Are you saying you are using the popup menu from an image?

If that is the case you need to set the open delay parameter in the call

Down the page is the popup and it shows the different parameters you can use, it does mention the open delay as one that can be set with an explanation of how to do it.

Thanks!

Thanks Ruth, I actually *just* figured out it was a problem in the call and nothing to do with a param in the menu source. Thanks for exactly directing me though! Prompt, and extremely helpful as always!

Same scenario as above…

Now we’re noticing that our 700 ms delay works wonderfully, until we mouseover the other menu in the page… For instance, if you move from Senior Design Project back to Special Programs, it overlaps the second menu making the open menu immediately disappear… any suggestions?

Hi,

For this, I will actually need to get to the page so I can experiment.

we are trying to fill an outrageous amount of links currently, so it might be changing quite frequently within the next few hours... hope that doesn't hinder anything...

Hi,

There's nothing that can be done about that because the program senses if another item has been moused over and closes any open submenus. I know they are two different menus but they are still the same program.

One fix would be a design fix. Create a blank image 130 wide by 20 high the same kind as the ones in the top menu. Then add a table cell to the beginning of that menu and put the blank in it. Since I didn't do the design I couldn't think what to put in that image, maybe it could say Welcome or some university icon or something, or a link to some page and no submenu to that one.

One other thought, you could put the Athletic link first, it doesn't have a submenu If you use the other suggestion, you'll have to cut down the sizes of the other images.
