Re: Menu doesn't go away when using iframes

Indeed, I can confirm this issue with the IFRAME approach.  We do set the event handlers, but sometimes they don't get called, and—worse—when the iframe document changes, our handlers get lost.

I will look into this problem, but until we have a fix, let me ask you if you would be happy with a “cross-frames” solution.  For that, you have to use a real frameset.  Current versions of DynarchMenu don't support cross-frame menus, but we have one in development which looks quite good and is to be released within the next few days.

Either way, I will try to find a solution for the iframe problems too.

Menu remains highlighted after alert

Browser: IE 6.0.2800.1106

We have implemented a Help->About menu that uses a simple javascript alert to pop up an "About Us" window. After clicking "OK", the "Help" menu remains highlighted; if you click on the Help menu it no longer responds until you click somewhere else.

I have created a test case for you (below); you may need to tweak it as appropriate. Simply open this up in IE, click Help menu and then select "About Us" menu item and observe. I tried to route my javascript through a separate function and use retval but that didn't work. Then I thought maybe I can obtain a reference to the "Help" menu and call setPressed(false) but that didn't work either. Please help!

<HTML>
<HEAD>

<style type="text/css">@import url("./hmenu/skin-xp-extended.css");</style>
<style type="text/css">@import url("./css/toolbar.css");</style>
<script type="text/javascript">_dynarch_menu_url = "./hmenu/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="./hmenu/hmenu.js"></script>

<script type="text/javascript">

function initializeMenus()
{
menu = DynarchMenu.setup('menu', { shadows: [4, 6] });
hideMenus();
}

</script>

</HEAD>
<BODY onLoad="initializeMenus();">

<ul id="menu" style="display: none;">

<li id="File" title="_File">
_File
<ul>
<li id="1128966313825"><IMG SRC="help.png" BORDER="0"/><A HREF="javascript:alert('File New!');">New...</A></li>
</ul>
</li>

<li id="Help" title="_Help">
_Help
<ul>
<li id="1128966313826"><IMG SRC="help.png" BORDER="0"/><A HREF="javascript:alert('hello, world!');">About Us</A></li>
</ul>
</li>

</BODY>

There is a problem indeed with your approach.  The menu closes right after evaluating the JavaScript expression, but an “alert” dialog is modal (it stops the JS threads until the end user clicked on OK).

We hope to be able to make this easier in next versions, but for now here is a quick workaround:

<script type="text/javascript">
  function displayAlert(message) {
    setTimeout("alert('" + message + "')", 10);
  }
</script>

[ ... ]

<ul id="menu">
  [ ... ]
  <li><a href="javascript:displayAlert('About us...')">About us</a></li>
</ul>

So as you can see, the idea is to delay the displaying of the alert by a short time (10 milliseconds).  During that time, the browser will get a chance to run the code that closes the menu.

I hope this helps.

Hi! I had an uggly error alert poppin up in IE, when I was trying to navigate menu frame while body frame was still loading...
Quick fix of adding try { ... } catch(e) {} in DynarchMenu.MenuTree.prototype._open method has solved my problem.
Mihai, I just wanted to let you know of this behaviour in IE (cross frame mode).
Thanx for creating this cool menu component.

I'm sorry about this bug... We will try to track it down. IE 5.0 indeed has some problems concerning regular expressions; in our opinion users should be convinced to upgrade their browsers, rather than having web developers downgrading their applications, but I hope it will be an easy fix.

No submenus showing with whole menu inside IFRAME.

Hello, I have had the pleasure of utilizing your menu for some tests, and I must say I am impressed.
implementing a dynamic menu from database is a breeze, and changing appearances also.

However. My cms opens my page inside of a IFRAME for previewing. I use the site navigation to choose which article to edit
thus the problem described in the topicheader.

I have tried to call init in onload of father document, and also the iframeinit for use with iframes positioned underneath
in z-index order.

with no luck.

please help me, and i will buy your product for use with my new projects!
regards, Øyvind Graham

ebay toolbar

For some reason, Dynarch menu and the eBay Toolbar are rather incompatible. Install the ebay Toolbar and go to the www.dynarch.com. There is a 2-3 minute pause before the menu shows. The rolling background where the menu bar goes, stops, and the whole browser is unusable.

One can say that it is the eBay Toolbar's fault. Sure. I agree. But then again, I can't use a menu system that is the only JS code I have ever seen that has a problem with it. I have many people that use ebay (including me at home) and it is utterly frustrating. Can we put in a work-around?

Our traffic is 97% IE on Windows, and while I don't have stats on how many have eBay Toolbar, knowing that Dynarch Menus cause the browser to lock up in such cases means that none of the sites that we planned to use the menu script can do so. It took us a while to narrow this down to the eBay Toolbar and Dynarch Menu combination as the source of the problem. The only thing that is under our control is to ditch the Dynarch Menu, which would be a shame. :(
