I am looking at using hMenu in a web application. This application requires the use of a secured connection (https). If the user has enabled the "do not save encrypted pages to disk" option in Internet Explorer, the user will experience significant slowdown when accessing submenus at any level. On every mouseover event, the browser reloads the rarrow-hover.gif. Similarly, on mouseout, the browser reloads the rarrow.gif. While these two images are roughly 75 bytes each, the delay is very noticable, even over a LAN. In my test example, I have the timeout variable set to 0.

Is there a work-around for this? It would be great if a developer could specify a CSS style and a string of characters to be used in place of an image. For example, ">" or "»" would be fairly equivalent.

Hi. I'm trying to replicate what you have in the dynarch.com menus under preferences. Namely, the checkboxes. Could you provide some code as to how you set them up? I've tried everything I can think of - I put the input type="checkbox" tag in the <a> </a> but i can't get it to be checked/unchecked when the item label is clicked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!! Cage

I'm attempting to get the menu system working and having a problem. The menu shows up fine but when an item is clicked the dropdown spawns all the way at the bottom of the page outside of all the tables and divs. Any ideas?

hi

i've got this annoying problem in IE because when the menu is shown it is behind selects (form) on the site
this problem is only in IE, in other browsers everything is ok

does anyone know how to fix it?

I'm having difficulty altering the hover style of list items. Each level of my menu will be topped with a header of sorts. I've tried establishing a class for these headers and using the following rule in my skin to apply to html code:

div.dynarch-popup-menu tr.orglvl.hover td.label { background-color: red;}

<ul>
<li class="orglvl">REGIONS</li><li></li>
<li>
Baton Rouge
<ul>
<li class="orglvl">BRANCHES</li>
<li></li>
<li><a href="branchpage.asp">Main Street</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>

This results in items '<li>' along the same level momentarily displayed with a red background, then the normal hover style is applied. It appears that with the above code, my "orglvl" class surrounds more than a single list item. How do I isolate classes to a single item? Essentially, I would like hover styles disabled for my header items.

I've followed the instructions and hopefully pointed the code to the right spot for the files needed under /hmenu/skin-xp.css and hmenu.js. Unfortunately, the GUI doesnt show up, just the text menu as you can see on myashevillerealtor.com/extra.htm I'm trying to follow the instructions but i'm now lost... Help?

Hi,
Hopefully someone will be able to help me out here. I'm having a problem with links in IE7.
At the moment I have links which are to Site root ie /dir/dir/page, usually this works great in any browser so no problems there. Recently installed IE7 to test the website on it and I noticed all links on dynarch menu were pointing to http://about:blank/dir/dir/page, all other links on the website are working correctly. Only Menu links point to about:blank.
Is there a way that we can have the links to point correctly? I don't want to have to add base ref to the begining of every page or http://domain.com to every menu item. It will work ok on the net, but not in the local lan for dev.

Any help would be appreciated.

I just purchased DynarchMenu. Great script, but I have a question:

I notice on this website, you display a "Please wait...Loading" animation in the menu bar while it's loading. How can I implement this? It sometimes takes a couple of seconds for the menu to load, and I don't want people to become confused when they don't see a menu right away.

Also, is there any disadvantage to using the "lazy" parameter. I know you said it only improves the speed of large menus, but is there a reason NOT to use it?
