Hi Mihai,

This is Ed, one of your happily licensed users.

Is there a way to set a reference from one menu to another. For example, your submenu "Company" from the main tool bar is the same as the submenu "Menu / Company" from the side floating menu. In my case I have a couple of menus which are dynamically generated and can be rather big (I already use the lazy setting). I would like to send the submenu definition only once and then attach it to the second menu bar (perhaps replacing a proxy item) after both menus have been created.

An easy solution is, of course, just (1) to do a "copy.innerHTML = original.innerHTML" just before creating both menus, but since my menu can be quite big I was looking for a more efficient solution. (2) A second option would be to clone the original sub menu object and attach the copy to the second "invoker" -- not sure how(?). (3) An even better approach is to just assign a reference of the original submenu after it has been constructed to its second "invoker" -- in this case there would be no copy, both menus would invoke the same submenu instance. I presume this can be done because the popup menus must calculate where to popup anyhow. And also because they get triggered by the parent, so all the information is available to enable a popup menu to have two "invokers"... there is even a good chance that it is just a matter of doing the right assign statement.

Is there hope? Can you help?

Thanks!

Ok, this is getting to be quite frusterating as it has taken me a while to narrow this problem down. Here is the situation: I am using asp.net and I have a dynarchmenu item with a div tag that contains a textbox, dropdownlist and a linkbutton. When you click the linkbutton its onclick handler needs to get the info from the textbox and dropdownlist. This works perfectly well when remove the onload='DynarchMenu.setup("menu");' from the body tag. Problem: When I have it load as a menu the linkbutton submits just fine but the viewstate is lost for the items in the menu. For now I am ignoring the dropdown list and just focusing on getting the content of the textbox to be posted. In javascript console I am also getting an error when i put my cursor over the textbox (only when it is in the menu) Here is that error (not sure if this has anything to do with it as this error is not generated for the dropdownlist: Error: uncaught exception: Permission denied to get property HTMLDivElement.parentNode Right now for testing I have the system in an ascx file and I have 2 copies then loaded into the page, one is loading the menu and the other one just stays a list. The list continues to work as expected but the menu again does not. The list maintains its viewstate when i click the link button from either menu. I have tried switching the textbox to an htmlinput with the runat="server" along with several other variations. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can post code if necessary but I don't think it is at the moment. Thanks in advance

First of all, i know, we're using images instead of HTML text and that is an issue in itself. But we have to so my problem is this.

When using images in the navbar, first of all it's killing my onmouseover and out calls to an image swap JS function.

Second, in IE it's pushing the images in the navbar down one pixel.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi Mihai,

This is Ed again. I sent you an email, but may be you do not monitor that address, plus I have changed a things a bit. I have a small patch that does 4 things:

1) Fixes for a context menu positioning bug.

2) Add a callback interface enabling the customization of context menus based on the object clicked including enabling/disabling menu items and redefining the text/HTML for individual menu items. Done in the menu definition as a class attribute.

3) Add an interface allowing right-justification or bottom-justification of a context menu in relation to the object clicked with it (instead of the mouse position). Done in the menu definition as a class attribute.

4) Add an alternate interface to define on-right-click invocation in the menu definition as a class attribute.

It has been tested with IE and Firefox. Would you consider incorporated those into the main source tree?

If so, where can I send them to?
