Allozzz... :D
I dont know much about js, and i have a problem with the popup menu...
First, my website uses CSS, and the style of it is:
Code:
html {background:#53533a;}
body {margin:0; font-size:14px; line-height:20px; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; background:url(images/body_bckg.jpg) repeat-y center;}
.brown {color:#936307;}
a {color:#936307; text-decoration:none;}
a:hover {color:#666666;}
blockquote {color:#666666; border-left:2px solid #936307; padding-left:20px; margin:10px 0 10px 40px;}

#all {background:url(images/container_bckg.jpg) no-repeat top center;}
#container {width:1000px; margin:0 auto; background:url(images/container_bckg.jpg) no-repeat top center;}

#logo {height:50px; margin:0 60px; padding:80px 0 0 85px; background:url(images/logo.gif) no-repeat 32px 70px;}
#logo a {text-decoration:none; font-size:20px; color:#000000; font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif; text-transform:capitalize;}
#menu {height:40px; margin:0 60px;}
#menu ul {margin:0; padding:0;}
#menu ul li {display:inline-block; float:left; list-style:none; text-align:center; color:#936307;}
#menu a {padding:0 20px; font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif; font-size:20px; text-transform:lowercase; text-decoration:none; color:#936307;}
#menu a:hover {color:#666666;}

#main {background:url(images/main_bottom.jpg) bottom center no-repeat; float:left; margin:0 60px;}
#text {margin:0 270px 0 20px;}
#text ul {padding:0; margin:10px 0 10px 40px;}
#text li {list-style:none; padding-left:20px; background:url(images/li.gif) no-repeat 0 7px;}
#text p {margin:10px 0;}
#sidebar {float:right; width:180px; padding:0 40px 0 10px;}
h1, h2 {font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif; margin:20px 0 0 0; font-size:1.8em;}

#footer {height:130px; clear:both; background:url(images/footer_bckg.jpg) no-repeat center #53533B; font-family:"Times New Roman", Times, serif; color:#666666; font-size:10px; text-transform:uppercase; padding:0 60px;}
#left_footer {float:left; padding:30px 0 0 20px;}
#right_footer {float:right; padding:30px 20px 0 0;}

(I post it, just in case :) )

In the same file into which, i have my site (index.html), i have of course the style.css and the following 3 js files
1)milonic_src.js
2)menu_data.js
3)mmenudom.js

So, like you said at the webpage:
Quote:
You get the menu onto your website, insert the following HTML into each page using the menu:

<script type="text/javascript" src="milonic_src.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="mmenudom.js"></script>
<noscript><a href=http://www.milonic.com/>JavaScript DHTML menu is only visible when JavaScript is enabled</a></noscript>
<!-- The next file contains your menu data, links and menu structure etc -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu_data.js"></script>


I put the js code at the html file, like:

Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<html>
<title>............</title>

<link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>


<body>
<div id="all">
<div id="container">
   <!-- header -->
    <div id="logo"><a href="#"><span class="brown">blablablabla</a></div>
    <div id="menu">
<script type="text/javascript" src="milonic_src.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="mmenudom.js"></script>
<noscript><a href=http://www.milonic.com/>JavaScript DHTML menu is only visible when JavaScript is enabled</a></noscript>
<!-- The next file contains your menu data, links and menu structure etc -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="menu_data.js"></script>[/quote]


      </div>
    <!--end header -->
    <!-- main -->
...............
............
.......
.....
....
</body>
</html>

The problem i have, is that i get the message
Quote:
JavaScript DHTML menu is only visible when JavaScript is enabled
:oops:
and not the menu i want... :evil:
What can i do...?????

Hi,

It sounds like you have js disabled on your browser. Could you give us a url please so we can see what you have?

Hi,

That message you see is the message that shows when js is disabled or not available on a browser.

So, since you say you are working on the site, I am assuming on your desktop and I think you have your IE set to not run js on the desktop. I don't have IE7 so I don't know how to set it so you can see it. I know on IE 6 I get a toolbar warning at the top of the browser page when I open a page on my desktop that says something about activeX and I have to tell it yes to run it. I think that setting is someplace in the security area. It would be under the tools, internet options and the security, probably something in the intranet area. I will ask Milonic and maybe someone know about IE7.

Is it just IE7 that fails. Does it work with another web browser?

Hi,

Well, I copied and pasted his style and the page put it in with the newest version of the menu, just the regular not the popup since he didn't give the code for that, and it works in IE6. I get my little notice and tell it to run the active x and the menu shows fine.
