Frames menu not closing sub-menus on mouseout

I have been implementing the frames based menu and have come across a problem in that when I hover the mouse over an item on the main menu that has a sub-menu, it will open the sub-menue correctly but not close it again when the mouse moves off it. The sub-menus close correctly when moving the mouse off them in the body frame.

I have tried embedding the sample frames menu files and they act in the same way so I guess that I have to do something else in my pages but have no idea what - any clues?

Here ar ethe first few lines of my top frame page:

<?php
session_start() ;
?>

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="http://southwellunited.co.uk/2006/suyfc_style.css" />

<title>Southwell United</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script type="text/javascript" src="../2006/milonic_src.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt type=text/javascript src=../2006/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt type=text/javascript src=../2006/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>



<script language=Javascript src="../2006/menu_data_top.js" type=text/javascript></script>
<script language=Javascript src="mm_navframe.js" type=text/javascript></script>

................................................................

the body frame pages all contain code like:

<?php
session_start() ;
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 //EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-html401-19991224/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<link rel=stylesheet type="text/css" href="http://southwellunited.co.uk/2006/suyfc_style.css" />
<title>Home Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<script type="text/javascript" src="../2006/milonic_src.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt type=text/javascript src=../2006/mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt type=text/javascript src=../2006/mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
</script>


<script language=Javascript src="../2006/menu_data_body.js" type=text/javascript></script>

Hi,

They are working on it. Hopefully it will be fixed soon.

Hi,

Does anyone know what is causing this problem. This is becoming quite annoying for our users and if there is something that I can do to the page designs to alleviate it I will give it a try.

Thanks

Thanks for the interest Andy.

I updated to 5.770 (previously on 5.766) last night but it is still the same. Just a thought though - when I update my version I only upload the four main files to the server (milonic_src.js ; mm_navframe.js ; mmenudom.js ; mmenuns4.js) should I be uploading more.

Hi,

No, that's all you need to upload.
