Hello,

I am wondering if Milonic can support "megamenus" with html embedded inside. It looks like it should from a small test, but not sure if there are browser compatibility issues:

Thanks!

Hi,

Yes, you can set up the menus like that. There are properties which allow you to do any number of things. These are design things, not just functionality. For example, you can set a divides in menus which will 'divide' the submenus for you. So, let's say you have a horizontal main menu and one of the submenus which would be vertical has 20 items in it, well you could set that submenu as divides=2; and the submenu would give you the look of two columns with 10 items in each column. You can also use html in the menus, so if you wanted to do it, you could even create an 'image-map' type look setting it up with say a table with split images in various cells and html links on the images. This would actually be just one item of a submenu, you could then add other single items that would show below that table you created. This menu is pretty much 100% designable to get it to do what you want. You can even use the tooltips module for doing the tooltips on a link on pages. Or you can use the popup menu to have submenus popup from images you have on your pages. If you have some small set up you would like to show us as to how you want it, maybe I could work something up for you to see.
