Cannot select sub menu...

I cannot select sub menu until I scroll down my page. After about 13 mm I can select the all of the five lines in the sub menu (It slowly allows me to select each one the farther I scroll down the page). The Sub menus then works fine. I have only completed the first submenu...I am still working on the others

Code is as Follows...
The .JS file

_menuCloseDelay=200 // The time delay for menus to remain visible on mouse out
_menuOpenDelay=200 // The time delay before menus open on mouse over
_followSpeed=5 // Follow scrolling speed
_followRate=40 // Follow scrolling Rate
_subOffsetTop=10 // Sub menu top offset
_subOffsetLeft=-10 // Sub menu left offset
_scrollAmount=3 // Only needed for Netscape 4.x
_scrollDelay=20 // Only needed for Netcsape 4.x

closeAllOnClick = true;

with(LMCareerMenuStyle=new mm_style())
{
itemheight = "18";
onbgcolor = "#026cb8";
oncolor = "black";
offbgcolor = "#026cb8";
offcolor = "white";
bordercolor = "black";
borderstyle = "solid";
borderwidth=0;
separatorcolor="white";
separatorsize=1;
separatorheight=0;
separatorpadding=0;
padding=18;
fontsize="12px";
fontstyle="normal";
fontfamily="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif";
fontweight="bold";
closeonclick=1;
}

with(LMCareerpopMenuStyle=new mm_style()){
onbgcolor="#ccccff";
oncolor="black";
offbgcolor="white";
offcolor="black";
bordercolor="#cccccc";
borderstyle="solid";
borderwidth=1;
itemheight="10";
separatorcolor="#cccccc";
separatorsize=1;
separatorheight=1;
padding=2;
fontsize="11";
fontstyle="normal";
fontfamily="Arial";
pagecolor="black";
pagebgcolor="#82B6D7";
headercolor="#000000";

}

Hi,

You have put this menu in a table, but you have set the top and left position, so do you want it in the table, or set at the top and left position?

If you want it in a table, please see which gives explanations with screenshots of how to accomplish this, and the second link which has other links for more information on this if you need it.

http://www.milonic.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8777

If it is to be in a table, you'll need to position it relatively, and get the subs back in the data file, not on the page. There are two methods given in that table example page, the top is the newest, method two, the lower one, is the original, either can be used.

I am using vertical menus....does that matter. I actually find this exact post by you previously. I just couldn't find what I was looking for. Maybe I need to look harder.

Hi,

What are you doing? Are you putting the menu in a table? Can you put up a test page, or give me the full page so I can see what you want as to menu placement and layout of the page?

It doesn't matter which orientation you use, horizontal or vertical placing the menu in a table follows the same rule no matter what. Did you look at the table example page which has the explanation of how to put the menu into a table, if that's what you need? If you didn't understand it, perhaps I can explain better.

I rewrote my page to look as follows:

Html page

<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="800px">
<tr>
<td style="background-color: #026cb8;width: 223px">
<script type="text/javascript" src="../../WebScripts/Milonic/milonic_src.js"></script>
<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="../../WebScripts/Milonic/LMCareerMenu.js">
</script>

</td>
<td style="width: 20px"></td>
<td>Stuff</td>
</tr>
</table>

Let me give a little more background on the web page.

The milonic _src.js is already being called as this is a sub page within another.


The table is actually within an <asp:Content> tag. I am sure this complicates thing somewhat.

Hi Again,

OK, well you posted the menu file, but what it doesn't have is the stuff at the top which if you are using the first method requires you add the line buildAfterLoad=true; at the top of the data file. So did you add that to this section. I really need to see the page if it's possible. I can't tell why the menu isn't showing up from a post.



Also, that buildafterLoad=true; is an added feature, so you need to be at the newest version. This was put in starting with 5.754

I ripped away the table and I still have the same original problem with the sub menu unselectable until I scroll about 13 mm. That was the same problem when I did get the menu to work in the table.

Hi,

If you have a pro or above license I suggest you contact Milonic since I cannot help without having the full page and stuff to see what is going on. There is no reason for not being able to get the submenus, there has been no report by anyone on the forums of that problem. This leads me to think it is something interacting with the menu somehow, like something in css, or something else, but as I said without the page and all that it has I can't work on it. Sorry.

I am a volunteer on the forum, and do not work for Milonic. I have no programming knowledge nor can I do js, but I'm pretty good at tracking down what is causing a problem if it's not actually in the program.

I have discovered my new menu is conflicting with the old menu.
