Showtips remaining constant

Dated: Sunday May 7 2006 - 0:14:14 BST

Since updating my home page and re-vamping the menu_data.js file, the onfunction=showtip appears to work incorrectly. The problem that seems to occur only on the home page http://www.worldsplayground.com is ...
1) When placing the mouse over a menu part, the showtip appears, making the menu disappear.
2) After this the showtip dialog remains on the screen wherever the mouse is placed.

I am using two menus, the mapping procedure (mapsample) and a horizontal menu. The horizontal menu bar use to work without any problems until I added the mapping component.

Your help would be much appreciated. I can't seem to work out where I have gone wrong.[/url]

Now showtips won't show it.

After some gruelling hours, I discovered that I missed a ")". This is what was causing the errors I previously experienced. My only problem now is that the tips are not showing at all.

I fix the first problem, but can't seem to understand why this has occured. I deleted and uploaded the files again and this did not resolve it.

Your help would be much appreciated.

Hi

in your menu_data and popup_menu file you are using the tooltiip by an onfunction call however,in the bolt-on modules, it is suggested to use a direct call as follows
Code:
aI("text=Tooltip Sample;tooltip=Here is your Toolteip;");


when the tooltip module is used within the menu.

Onfunction removed, showtips still not working.

Thanks for your quick response.

Sadly though, I removed all the onfunction commands within the menu, and the showtips (or tooltips) do not appear. I have even re-uploaded the tooltips javascript file.

Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I thought we found the answer!

The toolips module is compatible with the older version menu files. From the Tooltips Bolt-On module page:

Quote:
COMPATIBILITY: Milonic DHTML Menu version 5.472 or higher


Also, the tooltips.js file should be the last one in the order:

1) milonic_src.js
2) mmenudom.js
3) menu_data.js
4) tooltips.js

Hi Viken

Thanks for your assistance, I know you are using the tooltips, I, infact, don´t use it as I´m considering them (it) superfluous.....

Sorry, I was typing too fast :>) That should read:

The toolips module is NOT compatible with the older version menu files. Sorry for the mix-up.
