Question

Hello everyone,

I am not sure this is the right way to ask but my problem is this

I have purchased, downloaded and installed a milonic dhtml menu

however, it isn't visible when I load my webpage
(tested the page on win2k pro with IE 6.0 sp1, FF 1.0.6 and NN 8.0.2)

The menu is registered to aivpc21.vub.ac.be

however I am developing a struts/jsp webapplication which is deployed to a sybase EAServer

the webapps url however is not aivpc21.vub.ac.be, it is http://aivpc21:8080/REDNET/...

could this have anything to do with the fact that no menu whatsoever
is visible when I open my page?

I would like to post a testpage however, my company's policy is to block all incoming connections to development servers(so you wouldn't be able to reach it anyway) and we don't have a menu license for the production server yet

I made a small test.html page which code is here:

Code:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
 
  <head>
<title>Add Thesis</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://rd-ir.vub.ac.be/css/thesis_.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="tab.css" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="thesis_lib.js"></script>
</head>
 
<body>
<script language=JavaScript src="milonic_src.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<script language=JavaScript type="text/javascript">
if(ns4)_d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=mmenuns4.js><\/scr"+"ipt>");
else _d.write("<scr"+"ipt language=JavaScript src=mmenudom.js><\/scr"+"ipt>"); </script>
<script language=JavaScript src="menu_data.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>


<table width="852"  align="center">
  <tr>
    <td>
<img src="http://rd-ir.vub.ac.be/css/MENU/FULLb-vub.jpg" alt="banner"/>

</td>
</tr>
</table>


test page


</body>
</html>




the actual menu is used in a rather large struts/jsp page(If you need the code to this, I would be more then happy to mail it to you, along with the css used)

the menu_data was limited to a minimum, because we are still developing our web-app but here's what we have so far
Code:
_menuCloseDelay=500;
_menuOpenDelay=150;
_subOffsetTop=2;
_subOffsetLeft=-2;

with(menuStyle=new mm_style()){
bordercolor="#296488";
borderstyle="solid";
borderwidth=1;
fontfamily="Verdana, Tahoma, Arial";
fontsize="75%";
//fontstyle="normal";


//headerbgcolor="#ffffff";
//headerbgcolor="black";

//headercolor="#000000";
headercolor="#ABB202";

//offbgcolor="#DCE9F0";
offbgcolor="#ABB202";


//offcolor="#515151";
offcolor="black";

//onbgcolor="#4F8EB6"
onbgcolor="#7F7358";

oncolor="#ffffff";
//oncolor="red";

outfilter="randomdissolve(duration=0.3)";
overfilter="Fade(duration=0.2);Alpha(opacity=90);Shadow(color=#777777', Direction=135, Strength=5)";
padding=5;

//pagebgcolor="#82B6D7";
pagebgcolor="#ABB202";

pagecolor="black";

//separatorcolor="#2D729D";
separatorcolor="white";

separatorsize=1;
subimage="arrow.gif";
subimagepadding=2;
}

with(milonic=new menuname("mainmenu")){
alwaysvisible=1;
left=10;
style=menuStyle;
top=10;

aI("align=center;fontstyle=normal;fontsize='85%';fontfamily=Arial;font-weight=bold;pointer=move;text=<b>M E N U</b>;type=dragable;");
aI("showmenu=Person;text=Person;");
aI("showmenu=Team;text=Team;");
aI("showmenu=Help;text=Help;");
}

drawMenus();


I'm using a version 5.728 menu

any help would be much appreciated

Hi dadeweer,

I'm not sure if the license would be a problem while you are in development. And, I really don't know how to check things without having a site to check. In case it is the licensed version causing the problem, many developers use the unlicensed version while they develop, just putting the required link to prevent the Milonic from becoming the first link in the menu, or in some cases they just let milonic appear where they have put the home link, which is usually first, and don't worry that it says milonic while they are developing.

You could also try putting in a link back to Milonic on the page to see if that let's it show. The only other thing I can think is to make sure the paths to the files are correct. [my downfall a lot of times]

I suggest you contact Milonic if none of the suggestions work since you have a professional+ license. There should be something in the packet about how to contact them for help.

Ruth
