slight problem after update to version 5.735
Poster: wkilc
Dated: Tuesday November 22 2005 - 1:14:21 GMT
Hi all,
A while back, Andy helped me tweak a electronic form that used the menu to dynamically generate "pseudo" pull-down menus in some blank text fields.
Has always worked fine... but when I update from 5.727 to the latest 5.735... the "pseudo" menu no longer works.
Scroll down and click (or tab) into any field under, let's say, "Instrument",:
Version 5.727:
http://rimea.org/forms/allstate/test1.html
Version 5.735:
http://rimea.org/forms/allstate/test2.html
A clue... IE says "mm_style is undefined" as the JS error. Menu still works fine with my main site menu, though... so it's gotta be something with the "pseudo" pull-down data file.
I will paste the "pseudo" menu data here:
Code:
[size=9][color=darkred]var itemNum
function setText()
{
currentCat=$tL(_m[getMenuByItem(_itemRef)][1])
if(currentCat=="schools")
{
if(_mi[_itemRef][1]==" ")
{
document.forms['Simple']['School'+itemNum].value=""
}
else
{
document.forms['Simple']['School'+itemNum].value=_mi[_itemRef][1]
}
}
if(currentCat=="grades")
{
if(_mi[_itemRef][1]==" ")
{
document.forms['Simple']['Grade'+itemNum].value=""
}
else
{
document.forms['Simple']['Grade'+itemNum].value=_mi[_itemRef][1]
}
}
if(currentCat=="instruments")
{
if(_mi[_itemRef][1]==" ")
{
document.forms['Simple']['Instrument'+itemNum].value=""
}
else
{
document.forms['Simple']['Instrument'+itemNum].value=_mi[_itemRef][1]
}
}
if(currentCat=="preferences")
{
if(_mi[_itemRef][1]==" ")
{
document.forms['Simple']['Preference'+itemNum].value=""
}
else
{
document.forms['Simple']['Preference'+itemNum].value=_mi[_itemRef][1]
}

Hi,
It looks like there are some problems with the files, when I look at http://rimea.org/new/java/milonic_src.js it contains some HTML code and not JavaScript.
Could these files be corrupt by any chance?

Whoops! Spoke to soon...
This page:
http://rimea.org/forms/allstate/test1.html
Using the latest script... still not working right... no JS errors.. and the menu eventually appears. It "flickers" in Firefox and then goes away.
Here's something... tabbing into the fields works fine... clicking does not.
Hmmm.
Thanks.
