Can't get menus to work
Poster: annasue
Dated: Wednesday May 31 2006 - 20:48:53 BST
I have purchased a single license for http://www.flowersalc.com and "think" I've installed the menus correctly on the server. I am trying to get a single link at http://www.flowersalc.com/index2.html to be replaced with a dropdown menu. It should be showing up between About Us and Flower Choices but if you slide your cursor over that area, an error shows. Can anyone help, please?
Thanks,
Anna Sue

Hi
try this
a) remove both
top=155;
left=200;
from the embedded_main
You have the menu in a table, so the position is relative, those properties are for absolute positioning.
b) replace your code (in menu_data.js)
Quote:
// Build your sub menus first
with(main=new menuname("submenu1")){
style=menuStyle;text=Weddings;url=weddings.html");
}
with(main=new menuname("submenu1")){
style=menuStyle;text=Weddings;url=weddings.html");
}
with
Code:
// Build your sub menus first
with(milonic=new menuname("submenu1")){
style=menuStyle;
aI("text=Weddings;url=weddings.html;");
}
with(milonic=new menuname("submenu1")){
style=menuStyle;
aI("text=Weddings;url=weddings.html;");
}
The aI(" ..." ) string is missing in your submenu !!!

Menus with errors

Thanks for your help. Now it is trying to work but still displaying an error on the page and can't seem to find the graphic to display even though it's in the same directory. And, it isn't displaying the submenu.

Hi
You have placed the banner06_05.jpg in the menus folder, but the path set in the menu targets to the root. So modify the path and the main menu as follows
Code:
with(milonic=new menuname("Main Menu")){
style=menuStyle;
alwaysvisible=1;
position="relative";
aI("image=menus/banner06_05.jpg;showmenu=submenu1;");
}
drawMenus();
style=menuStyle;
alwaysvisible=1;
position="relative";
aI("image=menus/banner06_05.jpg;showmenu=submenu1;");
}
drawMenus();
It should work then, I´ve tested that.

Hi
the problem is, when I´m starting your page in my working environment, (using my Milonic files) there is no script error message and the submenu works as expected, as soon as I´m starting your url, the script error message window pops up, reporting an error in line 21, character 28824,
´_mi{...].1´ etc.
Is there a problem with the Milonic script files, please try after uploading them again?
This is for demonstration: (right click and open in new window)
