eBay Toolbar kills sites with Dynach Menu

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. :(

Highlight current page

Is it possible to highlight the current page in the menu?
eg in the menu you got "Home", "News" and "Contact"
When i"m surfing to the page "Home", then i would like to call a function or setting a option so that "Home" has an other style (other background for eg).
When surfing to the page "News", the "Home"-item is normal again and "News" got now the other style.
So the menu is a kind of a breadcrumb of the location of the page.

Is it possible to force the menu to open subitems always to the top or bottom, maybewith a class 'open-top' or 'open-bottom'?

Not at this time, sorry. We'll keep that in mind for the next release.

Placement Problem (DynarchMenu 2.8)
2006/01/09 20:53

Replies: 1/1

Hello,

I am using the DynarchMenu on a series of DIV blocks stacked on top of each other. It seems that when I specify a menuHandler function (body), the placement of the menu is wrong. The DIVs at the top continue to work but the ones at the bottom (near the bottom of the page) place the menu way down the page (page actually grows 2x). The code is as follows:

function menuHandler(el) {
var isGen = el.id.indexOf('generic') == 0;
var isDetail = el.id.indexOf('detail') == 0;

var menu = this.menu;

menu.items["band_up"].display(isGen);
menu.items["band_down"].display(isGen);
menu.items["gensep"].display(isGen);

menu.items["addgroup"].display(isDetail);
menu.items["newband"].display(isDetail);
menu.items["addpeer"].display(isDetail);
menu.items["detailsep"].display(isDetail);

var band = getObject(el.id.replace(/_hd$/, ''));
menu.items["displayband"].setLabel(band.hidden ? 'Show Band' : 'Hide Band');
}

If i remove the code from the function (function menuHandler(el) {}), the menu works fine.

Thanks,
-Edwin S. Ramirez-

Hi,

I don't quite understand the problem.. an example would be greatly appreciated—can you provide us with an URL where the problem is visible?

Best regards,

I would like to know if the full version of DAMenu can stay over of 'Java Applets' or Objects like 'Windows Media Streaming Video Applets', i'd tried the free version but when a sub menu popup 'over' an applet, the applet appears over and the submenu is hidden by the applet...If the DAMenu can do it, I would like to buy it for my e-financial website

and the other question is...can you mention what websites works with DAMenu?

Thanks.

Unfortunately we don't know any solution for the problem you asked. This is a (bad) browser behavior. If the browser choses to display applet-s or object-s on top, there seems to be nothing we can do about it.

Also, there's no published list of websites that are using DynarchMenu. We will try to create one in the future.

Is it possible to have the right click popup menu show only when an access key is pressed (like alt)? How can I do that? Thanks!!

That's not supported per se, but I just made a quick test and it seems it's pretty easy to emulate with standard HTML.  Example:

<a class="hotspot" accesskey="b"
onfocus="this.blur(); this.onclick();"> <!-- this line is for IE -->
<u>B</u>ring it on
</a>
...
<ul id="menu">
<li class="context-class-a-hotspot context-align-bottom">
... context menu content ...
</li>
</ul>

Look, we just made a menu that triggers upon ALT-B. :-)

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I just stated looking at dynarchmenu and it looks absolutely great.

Can someone help me how to have the multiple skin selections in a page? I mean, I would like to have the "Preferences"->"Menu skin" in my menubar. I cant seem to find it in the examples.

Thanks for your time.

Problems with auto-access key feature
2006/01/27 03:07
Viewed 2789 times

The feature that automatically creates an access key has a flaw. If I put something like this in the menu:

<li><a href="#"><div id="MyLogin:C_CMS:name">other stuff</div></a></li>

It totally messes up since it changes the div's id!!! to somthing like

<div id="MyLogin:C<u unselectable='on'>C</u>MS:name">other stuff</div>

The id is created by the application server, so i can't change its format. I'd like to disable this access key thing it is trying to do.

Thanks.

Sorry about this problem!

The dirty hack for now is to put an accesskey attribute to the <a> element: <a accesskey="" href="#">...</a>. We will address it in a future version with a configuration argument.
