Problems with current version

I've been using Milonic menus for quite some time and was so successful in my implementation that I allowed my support to lapse. Today, I decided that due to a myriad of browser configuration changes that are happening all the time, I would renew my professional license. After downloading the new menus and tooltips code, I replaced my previous (working flawlessly) versions with the new and from that moment on, tooltips no longer worked.

My old version was 5.725 on the menu and 1.3 on the tooltips.

My new version is 5.736 on the menu and 1.4 on the tooltips.

In doing some research, it appears the problem with the tooltips only occurs when I upgrade the milonic_src.js file. Migrating from 1.3 to 1.4 of tooltips still allow the tooltips to function correctly.

I use tooltips in mouse events on pictures to show EXIF data about the photo. The tooltip is HTML based, uses a table for formatting, and looks something like this:

<img src="http://dev.lastinglinks.com/pictures/1/ed6bf37c37a6f3c8813d8eb516756d1f.jpg" border="0" onmouseover="showtip('<table><tr><td><b>Caption</b></td><td>Grandpa Rice in his 40’s.</td></tr><tr><td><b>Filename</b></td><td>00000020.JPG</td></tr><tr><td><b>Date Added</b></td><td>Tue, 03/15/2005 09:05:48 am</td></tr><tr><td><b>Added By</b></td><td>Fred Harlow</td></tr><tr><td><b>Photo Size</b></td><td>2720 x 3930 pixels</td></tr><tr><td><b>Print Size</b></td><td>9.1 x 13.1 inches (22.75 x 32.75 cm)</td></tr><tr><td><b>File Size</b></td><td>3,493,992 bytes</td></tr></table>');" onmouseout="popdown();" alt="">

As I said, the new version fails to pop this top and no error is generated in the JS console. I'm using Firefox but also tested on IE 6 with no luck.

Suggestions?

I had similar problems with tooltips on my menu (not on html objects) and eventually found out that the syntax had changed from
onfunction=showtip('Your Text Here');
to
tooltip=Your Text Here;

The documentation on the web site etc was not updated to show this - perhaps it's possible that the syntax for html use has also changed? But sorry I do not know myself.

Just a thought though, have you tried a simple tooltip (i.e. just text without any html tags?)

Tooltips have been fixed for the next version of the menu. Documentaiton and samples are currently being worked on because of the changes that were made.

Cheers,
Andy

Thank you much to those who responded. I'll wait to migrate the new menu code until the next version. Have a nice day!
