Hi,

I can make the menu sort of look like that. Can you give me a page so I can set something up for you to check?

Hi,

Nevermind, I used that forum page.

This is your data file

Code:

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=-40;
_subOffsetLeft=-17;

with(mainStyle=new mm_style()){
bordercolor="#ffff00";
borderstyle="solid";
borderwidth=0;
}

with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){
fontfamily="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial";
fontsize=12;
fontstyle="normal";
headerbgcolor="transparent";
headercolor="#cfc8cf";
offbgcolor="transparent";
offcolor="#ffffff";
onbgcolor="transparent";
oncolor="#ffff00";
decoration='none';
ondecoration="underline";
outfilter="Blinds(bands=1, direction='Left', duration=0.5)";
overfilter="Blinds(bands=1, direction='Right', duration=0.5);Shadow(color=#777777', Direction=135, Strength=3)";
padding="1px 3px 0px 20px";
menubgimage="menubg1.png";
}

with(milonic=new menuname("Main tab")){
alwaysvisible=1;
left=0;
orientation="vertical";
style=mainStyle;
top=0;
aI("image=menutop_spacer1.png;type=disabled;");
aI("image=mainnav3.png;showmenu=Main Menu;");
}

with(milonic=new menuname("Main Menu")){
style=menuStyle;
menuheight=240;
menuwidth=144;
menualign='center';
itemheight=18;
aI("text=Forum Navi;type=header;fontsize=11px;itemheight=30;");
aI("text=Home;url=index.php;");
aI("text=FAQ;url=faq.php;");
aI("text=Search;url=search.php;");
aI("text=Memberslist;url=memberlist.php;");
aI("text=User Groups;url=groupcp.php;");
aI("text=Register;url=profile.php?mode=register;");
aI("text=Profile;url=profile.php?mode=home;");
aI("text=Priv.Msgs.;url=privmsg.php?folder=inbox;");
aI("text=Log in;url=login.php;");
}

drawMenus();

I have the images, but it seems the upload area for me to place them is down, so I'll have to get Milonic to fix it so I can put up the images for you. Unless you can give me an email address to send them to you. Might ftp is a problem also so I can't put up the page to show you how it looks.

One thing, this will look like it slides out in IE but not in other browsers. That's do to the over/out filter codes which only work in IE. However, the final look when the submenu is opened will be the same as what it looks like when you open what's there now.

Just so you know, that is not just a 'function' to make any menu slide out, that is part of the programming for whatever the menu system they are using on the site is. It's not just a stand alone function you can apply to any menu system.

I have tried to send you the images but the mail keeps getting returned. As soon as I have a way to get them uploaded someplace, I will post back here.

Hi,

OK, I tried that, I uploaded it said it was uploaded and that unless I provided the link no one could see them, but it never gave me any link to provide. Maybe you know how to get the link.

I clicked on multi-upload, then uploaded 3 files, I can't find any explanation about what any of the different upload paths are so I left the level3 checked as it was. If you can tell me what I'm supposed to do to get a path to give you, I'll do it again.

These are the 3 file names:

menubg1.png
menutop_spacer1.png
mainnav3.png

Hi,

I thought I'd explain, the reason I need the full information is that the image which becomes the background to the submenu which shows when you click that navigation image is sized according to the size of the submenu which shows when you click that first image. I am trying to figure out how to set it up so you don't have to size a menubgimage, but it may not be possible.

DISCLAIMER: Neither I nor Ruth work for Milonic! The opinions expressed below are mine alone.

In reading over this topic I see numerous attempts from Ruth to try to solve your problems, and, to make this as short and polite as possible, in many cases backtalk and resistance from you to provide what she needs.

So, my suggestions are these - first, take a step back and chill. Second, if you are a PAID (i.e., Pro license or above) user of the menu, contact Milonic directly at http://www.milonic.com/support/ for further help.

Hi,
I would still need to have the data info with you pointing out what it is in it you want to all be open. Without the data information on the menus, I have no idea how or if it's possible to set up something like you want. There are things like the openmenusbyurl module which can have menus open based on a url, but if you want to mouseover one menu and have it open 3, I don't know if that's possible and I'd need something with which to experiment for a solution.

See This is my menu:

4 styles and some menu. On the page they looking like:

Code:

with(milonic=new menuname("")){
alwaysvisible=1;
left=11;
margin=2;
orientation="vertical";
style=XPMainStyle3;
top=30;
aI(";");
}

Code:

with(milonic=new menuname("")){
alwaysvisible=1;
left=11;
margin=2;
orientation="vertical";
style=XPMainStyle3;
top=30;
aI(";");
}

Code:

with(milonic=new menuname("")){
alwaysvisible=1;
left=11;
margin=2;
orientation="vertical";
style=XPMainStyle3;
top=30;
aI(";");
}

3 menus that are always keepalive. I cannot just put a small image and make showmenu function because then only one menu comes out but I need all 3 menus. One of them contains show menu function. But that doesn't matter what I want is to when I click or mouseover or whatever that menu comes out. You see I need anything that will hide and show the menu. Maybe there is a javscript for that.

Hi,

I'm not sure if this will help, if not you'll have to contact Milonic because I wouldn't know how to do js functions. This has to do with using Milonic menu clickfunction to show and hide different layers. And the second is abobut showing and hiding menus, but not multiple ones at once.

Alright the thing you gave me is just a menu left open. Same as just opening the sub menu, but I need something that will open the menu (not just open (showmenu) but open the whole menu). Because I have 3 keepalive and I need all of them to open, if there is a function to open not just one menu (showmenu) but 3, will be also nice.

Not working, there is actualy a function to disable the menu by clicking:

Code:

aI("text=Disable This Menu;url=`javascript:var contextDisabled=true;");

Is there a function to reanable the menu then?

Try this page. Under DHTML Menu on that page there is a list of Menu Quick Reference Guides, perhaps something there will help.

I will post to Milonic and maybe someone will respond but as I told you. I do not do js functions. Not because I don't want to help because I know nothing about them. What you want I believe will take some kind of function or it will take some kind of modification by Milonic.

As noted before, you should go to the main site and try contacting them. If you have an up to date valid support license then you can click the Tech Support text link at the bottom of the main site while logged in under the name used to purchase that and fill out a support ticket.

Hi,

One other thing, if you could give me the test page with all the info, maybe there is a way to do it without functions, but I can't know that without seeing the layout and the menu
