Multiple Column Menu not disappearing

Hi, please can help me with an issue I am having with multiple column menus. I have created a menu for a client http://www.wimbledon-school.ac.uk/newsite/master.html and as you will see on rollover of COURSES and EXAMINATIONS the dropdown menu fails to disappear on mouse out still within the menu bar.

I am new to Milonic but would really appreciate some help on this, as its driving me mad!

Please see below the .js file:

fixMozillaZIndex=true; //Fixes Z-Index problem with Mozilla browsers but causes odd scrolling problem, toggle to see if it helps
_menuCloseDelay=250;
_menuOpenDelay=250;
_subOffsetTop=0 // Sub menu top offset
_subOffsetLeft=-0 // Sub menu left offset
buildAfterLoad=true;

horizontalMenuDelay="1";

Hi,

Can you tell me where you got this function for columns? I can't find any demo of it or any place it is posted, so I was wondering where you got it. I know it was created by a menu user, not by Milonic. Anyway, the problem is with the buildAfterLoad=true; If that is removed it will function as it should. I have no idea why it doesn't work when that is in there, unless something needs to be added/changed in the function due to that buildAfterLoad programming. That buildAfterLoad function was not a part of the menu when the user created this function.

Now, what I did was to use the old method of placing the menu relatively. This method doesn't use the buildAfterLoad and it can be removed, eliminating whatever the problem. In order to use that method, you remove the main menu from the menu_data.js file, paste it in its own file adding a drawMenus(); at the end and save it. I tend to name them main_embed.js, and rename the menu_data.js as subs_data.js, but you can name it what you like. Anyway, you call all the menu files except the main file you made right after the body tag, and you call that main menu only in the menu div.

Hope this helps you

Ruth

Hi Ruth, thanks so much for getting back to me so quickly. However I am still stumped!

I worked through some old posts originally:
http://www.milonic.com/mfa/2004-October ... rking.html
http://www.milonic.com/mfa/2005-June/mu ... tally.html

Now, I think ( ) I have completed your instructions as described however please excuse me if I am being dim as it still doesn't work. In fact the menu has now disappeared!! Really sorry if you are going over old ground here but think I am going mad! I am hoping its something obvious that I have missed. Have attached the files if you can advise and point me in the right directions?

Many thanks in advance.

Simon

Hi,

If you want multi-columns then I think we need to go with the new menu.

If you can create your menu structure in an HTML Unordered List format I'll see what we can do. It can do both columns as well as a free style HTML content style menu.

We are almost at Pre Release stage (should be this week) with the new version but it seems to be working very well so far.

Let me know when you've got your list menu ready.

Cheers,
Andy

Hi Andy, thanks for getting back to me.

Below is the unordered list format you requested (have duplicated navigation text for speed and annotated) and also attached is a document to visually explain how I want the navigation to work. Is this what you are after?

Let me know if I need to give/explain anything else.

Many thanks.

Sorry Andy, forgot to attach the visual layout. Does this help?

Hi,

You have two problems, one is in the page, one is in the subs_data file.

On the page, you want to remove the calls for the program files from the nav div. You have already called those files right after the body tag, after the body tag you have a call for the milonic_src.js, mmenudom.js mmenuns4.js and subs_data.js, then in the nav div you only need to call the embedded main menu file.

In the subs_data.js file, you have a syntax error. You added a menu called the school. If you look at the bottom of that menu you have two closing } brackets. I believe that is what is keeping the menu from showing. Once fixed the menu shows. Now, as to the closing issue. There is nothing that can be done about that since this is a user created function and I don't do functions and have no idea how to add anything to it to get them to close. They will close but only if you move into them and then out of them, or move out of the main menu before you move to another main item.

You can do the columns using the regular divides property with 5 instead of that function created by our user and the menus will close then, you actually have one of the submenus using divides, the social programme one. HOWEVER, you would do better using the new menu with what Andy can provide. It's more in the now, not that 5 will not work now, but the newer one will do more as far as I understand. I am still trying to learn that at this point so I can't help with it

Hi Ruth, hope all is well? Thanks very much for having another look and spotting the syntax error. I have removed from the subs_data file and altered the script positioning in the div but still no joy? Am I being really stupid here? The menu still doesn't show?

With regard to the divides option for the menus, I tried the users method because it enabled me to have a heading at the top of each menu item. Do you know if this is possible in the new method? Hopefully Andy will get back to me soon. Looking forward to seeing it.

Thanks again for all your help.

Re: Multiple Column Menu not disappearing

Hi,

OK, when I copy paste your page from the forum post and put it in my folder that has your program files, it works fine, so I went to the link you provided in the first post. The program files seem not to be where the path shows, i.e.
but when I put in the full path to that point

I get page not found, the same thing for the other program files. Shouldn't those files have a script/ in front of them like the script/subs_data.js file?

I would check the paths, make sure you have put up the corrected subs data file and the corrected page and see if that works. Also, I have created a menu which uses the divides to set it up instead of that function. I am going to paste it here, along with the new menu data file. You might try it and see if it does what you want

Page = I think the paths are correct, to all the things but you might check them



This is the menu_data_divides.js file



The one thing you have to do is make a little transparent gif image and save it as blank.gif, then copy the data file and save it as menu_data_divides.js since that is what I named it and that is what is in the page You'll note that I put the path as the script/menu_data_divides.js so you'd put that file in that folder. So, this page looks just like the other one, but the menu uses divides and you no longer have that closing problem that you do with the one with the function. The data file has an explantion of how it was done. Hope this helps. If you still can't see the menu in the other one after fixing the path problems, can you post a link to the page so I can check things out?

Hi,

It looks nice. Now, I give you a suggestion, two suggestions to try, these are only 'artistic things' and as you know no two people see the same things in the same way. Anyway

1. In the menu data file, put this in for your Guided Self Study Examinations header in that submenu under courses, this makes that header shorter since it now goes on two lines, and more in line with the items which are very short. It makes that column seem more balanced, but again that depends on what appeals to whom. I think it looks nice, but you may not like the higher look of the header area.



2. in the nav div, in the css file code it as


That puts the same background image that the menu has into that div so now it spans the full width with the same look. Again, that's just a personal preference thing, to me it just looked strange not filling out that full width with that background.

Merry Christmas
Ruth
