Version: 5.752
Bug Fix - Friday 7th July 2006

<LI>Removed global variables _X and _Y and replaced them with X_ and Y_ - Note that you may need to update modules that use these variable or else they will not work
<LI>Improved the way the menu handles loading of images. Menu can reposition and resize menus much better at load time when menus contain images
<LI>Added new style/item property called <b>pageoncolor</b> This allows setting of an onColor based on url match
<LI>Changed the way menuwidths and borders are rendered in Internet Explorer. By default, Internet Explorer will render boxes - that have borders - based on the width that is specified. This meant that the overall width of the box would remain the same - squashing the content. All other browsers add width to the box to keep the content the same and just add a border to the box, this is now what happens in IE with the menu. This makes the menu even more cross browser
<LI>Fixed problem with Firefox not positioning the menu correctly when using screenposition
<LI>Fixed problem with preloadmenuimages.js forcing an Apache error log entry (404 'undefined' not found) error.
<LI>Fixed minor problem with Firefox displaying JavaScript error (parsing value for property 'width'. Declaration dropped)
<LI>Added new function to the menu API called <b>mm_replace()</b> This function allows you to replace any text found inside a menu items properties.This is useful if you need to change pre declared values declared in the menu later on. For example, if you declare something like <b>;url=users.php?userid][USERID];</b> in the menu you could use the function to replace all references to [USERID] in all menu urls to the actual userid of your user once you know what it is. This also works for all menu item properties.
