Hello, I am having problems running my menu (v5.51) on the French version of my web page. I am using the same file name for the french and english menu which are located on diffferent directories on the server. The french menu of the main page is always very slow with the highlights staying on and sometimes the submenus do not appear, it is worse on the trouble-shooting menu which has alot of sub-sub menu items. The english version on the main page works very well. Any help appreciated. I am using Winows XP home ed.

Cheers,

Hi Jacques,

I can't help on the menu because we don't have the older versions. Even though they are in different directories, I would name the menus and the menu_data.js file different. You could just put a 1 after the menu names in the french file and an f in the menu_data2.js french version i.e. menu_data2f.js

I suggest you download the newest version of the menu, make sure you have copied your now existing milonic_src.js, mmenudom.js, mmenuns4.js and tooltips.js files to a safe place so you have that version just in case you need to go back to that version. Then I'd upload the new version, including the new tooltips since that has been updated to work with 5.62 and up. http://www.milonic.com/tooltips.js just right click the link. See if that fixes anything. You're menu data files would just be the same as they are now.

Thanks Ruth, I will try this, where do I download the latest menu please. As a licensed user do I get this update for free.

Thanks,

Ok, disregard previous post, I figured out how to download everything and I made all the other changes and it works better. However there is still a bit of highlighting that remains on more than 1 menu.

Hi Jack,

I'm glad you found out how to get the menu. Just in case anyone else on a forum search finds that post, I'll put it here. Go to the main site page, log in and then once logged in when you download the menu it will be your licensed menu.

As to the highlighting, it's really not highlighting, if you are referring to the Services/Products and the Discussion on the French page menu. It is because you have a call for the background.gif in all the other items on that page from But, in those two items, the call is There are images called background_image.gif at both those URLs but they are different images. One is small and the other is large, so that is making those two items look very different from the others but the same as each other.

Thanks Ruth.

One more problem, I can't seem to get tooltips to work on the French main page. I have downloaded the latest tooltips file.

I think it's the doctype that is causing the problem. I tried a couple of things. I removed it and the problem disappeared. Then I put it back and put the language in the html tag. That seems to work. You are also not seeing the quick-links_main.js on the French page. The file is there. Not sure what's causing it not to load. Try making it main-quick-links.js I read someplace about _ causing some problems. Can't remember the context.

Hope that helps.
