(Sorry, my English still hasn't improved.)
I have a menu, with a lot of submenus, that closes when you have made your selection. See here (top left cormer).
I would like to know if there's away to let the menu re-open on the point where you left it, on mouse-over.

Hi,

There is a module called openmenusbyurl.js. You should be able to do what you want using that. The module is in the download and you'd code the pages with



What this does is look at the url and if it matches the item in the submenu, it opens that submenu. Keep in mind, if you have the same url in more than one submenu, then all the submenus with that url will open.

Thanks for the quick answer.

As my submenus cover the text on the page, that won't work.
What I want is this.
When you have selected an item and the new page opens, the menu closes; only the top level is shown (as it works now)
Now when you move the mousecursor back on the (toplevel of the) menu, all the submenus open again and the mousecursor is placed on the item you last selected.
In that way it's easier to select the next or previous item in the submenu.
I hope you understand what I'm trying to tell.

Hi,

Not anything I could figure out or set up. I don't think that's possible, but I'm not a js person or programmer. If this is a professional or above current license menu you can contact Milonic at the main site at the bottom of the page is a text link to Tech Support. You must be logged in under the name used for getting the professional license and then you'll get a beta support ticket system.

If you use the openmenusbyurl, you would at least have the correct menu open, and if you used the page highlighting then the item that 'matched' the url would be a different color, that's the most I can set up.

Thanks for the answer.
A pity that it can't be done, but the menu works fine without it, so there's no big need to have something like that.


No, it's a free one.

Thanks for the help, bye

Hi,

You should upgrade to the newest version. Make sure you keep the existing program files just in case there's any problem with the new version. It's 5.786 now. Also, you are using an unlicensed version, you should apply for the free license, see info here http://www.milonic.com/freelicreq.php

It works the same as the unlicensed one but you will have a license and you can list your site in the list of users section.

Sorry, I forgot (I'm much too busy with my site, still got work that will take me years, waiting.), but it's done.


Also done!

Thanks.
