horizontal menu works, vertical doesn't!


Poster: Talloula
Dated: Monday July 22 2002 - 11:12:20 BST

again, this code is automatically generated by a php script, basically the script uses the same text from a working mmenu_array.js file by using the echo() command. I am putting line breaks in the right places. then the script includes the mmenu.js.php file
when i show the menu as a horizontal menu, it works fine, and the last one (OTHER) displays a sub menu.

when i change the menu to vertical, it still works, but the Other doesn't popup a submenu....
and when i click on a regular menu link, it works, but the resulting page has errors in it
apparently the errors are in function spos at this line:
if(w_!=null)gms.width=w_+px;

below is the menu part of the source of the page as it appears in the browser

Vertical menus will need to have a width, this will cause the menu to produce errors and Opera to fail completely

thanks for the vertical width tip...it worked, once i specified a width, the submenu started poping up.

it seems that every time i fix a bug i face a new one instead...
now i noticed, that if i browse to the page in new browser window, i don't see the menu, if i hit refresh...i see it again.

it's weird, the only thing that changes in the code, the firs time you browse to the page, i see a PHPSESSID somewhere in the functions. then later it dissapears.
