1) dynarch directory is located into /menu/hmenu (var _dynarch_menu_url = "/menu/hmenu/";)
I found into error_log (apache logs) this error:
/hmenu/img/shadow.png not found

Make sure that the script containing the _dynarch_menu_url declaration is before the script that loads hmenu.js; the variable needs to be present when hmenu.js is loaded, otherwise it defaults to "/hmenu/".

2) I'm using dynarch menu into a site with 2 frames (eg: "logo" e "main"). "main" is the frame that contain menu.
If I click to a link that reload the whole page (container + 2 frames), IE6 show these errors [...]

I don't know about this.. How does the link that reloads the whole page look like?  I mean, how do you define the menu for it?

Hi there...
Well... I love this menu :)
But I have stumbled uppon some minor problems. Perhaps it´s just a lack of CSS-knowlage, or perhaps others have the same problem.

I´ve been trying to get my popup-menu to have a semi-transparent background-color ! I tried to use the "-moz-opacity: 0.6; filter: alpha(opacity=60)" parameter, but this always ends up making the whole popup semi-transparent - both the background AND the text !!!
Is there any workaround to this ? Is there any way to make my background transparent while keeping my text fully visible ?

Another thing, that I´ve been trying to work out, is to give my popups rounded corners !! Is this possible ? Is it possible via CSS to add background-images to the corner cells ( if they exist ) !

Any comments or help is appritiatet :)

By the way - i´m using your evaluation version.... we are evaluating this system for at possible buy :) - looking good, so far

You can't make only the background transparent using filter or -moz-opacity--this is the way CSS works.  There is something you can do but it does not work with Internet Explorer because Microsoft is too small a company to implement proper PNG support.  The idea is to use “background-image: url("bg.png");” and make that PNG a transparent image.  You can do something in between that works with IE too using a GIF image, but that's only binary transparency and it doesn't get even close to what you could do with PNG.

About rounded corners, it should be possible but pretty difficult to do.  I'll try to hack a menu theme about this in the next release.

2-line menu and right-aligned images

Hi,

I've downloaded the evaluation version yesterday to see whether it's suitable for our application. I have to say it's very impressive, however there some features we need (below) that are not supported (which makes sense as I imagine they're not requested that often). My understanding is that source code is available in licensed version (developer's license) and I am allowed to modify it to fit our purposes. The question is how easy it is to modify? The features that we need are:
- top-level menu consisting of 2 lines instead of one (which implies I would have to change both layout and keyboard navigation).
- icons in top-level menu aligned to the right of the label (I imagine this one should be easy enough).
Is source code in evaluation version representative of how the actual source code looks (disregarding the encryption, of course), e.g. one big eval() statement?

Thank you.

Yes; the source is "compressed" though in the developer license (meaning therer's no indentation, no comments and no whitespace).  You get fully readable sources in the library license.

The question is how easy it is to modify?

Depending on what you need, this is a tough question...

The features that we need are:
- top-level menu consisting of 2 lines instead of one (which implies I would have to change both layout and keyboard navigation).

If you simply need 2 menus, you could easily achieve this.  But if, for instance, you need the second row to change depending on what item is selected in the first row, then things get difficult--in other words, yes, DynarchMenu doesn't support this as of now.

- icons in top-level menu aligned to the right of the label (I imagine this one should be easy enough).

This isn't supported either, but modification should be trivial.

PNG File not showing up

Hello, I need to use a set of PNG images that were purchased. When using them within the menu they do not appear. I have added the additional js script file (PieNG). The only way to get the images to appear is to change the following line:

<ul id="dm_menu" style="visibility: hidden; display: none">

Once I remove the "display: none" the images appear, but you can then see the page getting built. I currently have a background image assigned to the area in which the menu is place. That background image duplicates on the screen for a second and then the page is normal again. That is why I put the "display:none" within the UL. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Oh, I'm using a registered copy

Regards
Steve

Yes, that's an IE problem. Replace “display: none” with “height: 1px; width: 1px; overflow: hidden” and it should work fine (leave the “visibility: hidden” in place).

Hello, Is there a way to have two menu objects on one page? I want to use a standard menu and a toolbar within my pages. If it is possible how do you handle the onload method?

Yes, it's absolutely possible and all you have to do is call DynarchMenu.setup for the second one as well. Just put them together in the onload attribute, separated by semicolon (“;”), or create a small JS function that calls DynarchMenu.setup for each menu and call function instead at onload.

Thanks for the info on my last post, it has worked out fine. Now I'm trying to get the regular menu to have a different stylesheet attached than the toolbar menu. Is this possible?

Hi, great job with the menu - we're ready to buy, but we're having one major issue. Running the menu off of https (secure site, Internet explorer), it seems as if there's a significant time delay in drop down menus showing up (i.e. 1-2 second delay between clicking on top menu item and subitems showing up). Is this because it's encrypted or something we're doing wrong with our code? Also, does the intranet version come with the unencrypted code? What would you recommend trying to get it to speed up? Thanks...

Hi, sorry for the late reply. The menu speed should be the same over HTTP and HTTPS--it has nothing to do with this. Yes, any commercial license comes with unencrypted code.

ie6 / Safari alignment problems
2005/04/02 10:26

Hi,

I have installed the menu in horizontal view, and it is working great in Firefox. When I installed it, I simply imported the correct JS and CSS files, but ignored the rest of the embedded JS and CSS code found in the example index page in the download. My html is also specified as XHTML Transitional.

The problem is with IE and Safari, when the menu pops up, it opens about 10px above where it does with Firefox and the example menus. That is, it covers over half of the original opening button!

Is this something that you've experienced before? I have found that if I place the embedded JS AND CSS back into the page then it displays better, but then the embedded CSS clashes with my custom page CSS. I assumed that I would only need to import the following:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/src/skin-aqua.css" />
<script type="text/javascript">_dynarch_menu_url = "/src/includes/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/src/includes/hmenu.js"></script>

Any suggestions?

thanks,
Marcus.

Yes, we encountered this situation. We have no idea yet--we think it's an IE bug--but there is a simple workaround: just embed the menu top UL element in a DIV having the style=“position: relative”, seems to fix the problem.

Please let me know if it still doesn't work (if you could provide an URL too it would be great).
