Poster: kelthore

I'm still fairly new at this whole java script thing so i have no idea how im coding it wrong.

information from menu_data.js:
fixMozillaZIndex=true; //Fixes Z-Index problem with Mozilla browsers but causes odd scrolling problem, toggle to see if it helps
_menuCloseDelay=500;
_menuOpenDelay=150;
_subOffsetTop=2;
_subOffsetLeft=-2;




with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){
bordercolor="#999999";

Hi

got it to work.
Its a matter of some syntax errors.

I´ve commented them by "// comment"

Here is the code

a) the menufile

Code:
fixMozillaZIndex=true;
_menuCloseDelay=500;
_menuOpenDelay=150;
_subOffsetTop=2;
_subOffsetLeft=-2;

with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){
bordercolor="#999999";
borderstyle="solid";
borderwidth=1;
fontfamily="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial";
fontsize="75%";
fontstyle="normal";
headerbgcolor="#ffffff";
headercolor="#000000";
offbgcolor="#D10707";
offcolor="#000000";
onbgcolor="#ddffdd";

}

}


drawMenus();


b) the html file I´ve used (modified the path settings for my directories)

Code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<script type="text/javascript">
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt type=text/javascript src=mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");      
  else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt type=text/javascript src=mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu_data.js"></script>   
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>

Comment: The "fatal" error was triggered by missing quotes after the final aI("..;"); string - submenu Mods.



Hope this helps

Michael

Thanks

Hi

it is really important to check carefully all these quotes, double quotes, semicolon etc. etc. - and to check the completion of aI("........" ; ) ; - strings. If for instance one double quote "; is missing - the entire menu does not show !
