Hi Xavier,

A long time ago, you helped me to implant DMB menus and GeeWizz scrollers on the same page and it worked (almost) fine.

With the new version (3.5), everything is still OK in IE6 of course, OK but very very very slow (of course also) in NN6. In NN4, I have a Javascript error when calling FillTBItems at the loading of the body. Has this functioon disappeared from 3.5?

By the way, why not create a section in this forum where users can ask other users to test their menus with the browsers they have ? Not everyone has all versions or PC and MAC and we can help each other, without giving you more work.

Cheers, Fabien

Dear Fabien,

Yes, FillTBItems has disappeared... there's no need to call this function anymore.

-------

That may be a good idea... but if you need for someone's assistance testing your menus under ANY browser, just let me know. I have'em all! And I'm not exaggerating... I have over 7 different browsers and a little over 40 different versions running under 3 versions of MacOS, 7 versions of Windows and 4 distros of Linux.

Hi Xavier,

Your collection is impressive! And as usual your proposition is so kind; I have never seen such a service to customer and I don't understand how you can find time to support us and to develop your products. Are there two Xavier? Are you twins?

Thanks is a small word.
Cheers, Fabien

I appreciate that you appreciate my efforts
It's not easy and hopefully (for me at least) this will change soon.

Hi Xavier,

Another little problem in this page since the version 3.5 and that didn't exist in 3.0.
Even with IE6, when I resize the page, the DMB toolbar is correctly placed but not the scrollers. When the scrollers are alone, they are correctly placed when I resize. Any idea?

Cheers, Fabien

That is NOT going to be easy to fix...

Take a look at the source code of that page and you will see that you have 3 different scripts trying to get hold of the "onresize" event.

Anyway, try this:

At the bottom (before the closing body tag) write this code:

Dear Xavier,



I know that of course, but I really love these scrollers and who can solve this unsolvable problem... except SUPER-XAVIER! To make it short, it works!

Now the bad news: three messages ago, you offered me to test a page on various browsers. Can you do it with this one? I promise, I'll never ask it for another page.

Cheers, Fabien

Internet Explorer 6:
As expected, everything works perfectly

Navigator 4:
Everything works great until you resize the page

Navigator 6:
Works fine but slow as hell!

Navigator 7PR1:
Works fine but slow as hell!

Mozilla 1.0:
Works very well

Opera 5:
Everything works great until you resize the page
The submenus appear missaligned. This is a known bug of some 3.5 releases. Upgrading to 3.6 will fix this the problem.

Opera 6:
Everything works great until you resize the page

Internet Explorer 5/Mac:
Everything works perfectly

Navigator 6/Mac:
Everything works perfectly... a bit slow though

Thanks a lot Xavier. You are too kind; what can I do for you?

The speed problem is known in *@! NN6 and there is a workaround. The bad news is that it's not corrected in NN7! Curious, I thought they were using Mozilla 1.

I'll switch to 3.6 as soon as it's released.

For the resize problem in NN4 and Opera, can you imagine a solution? Do you think it's a real problem or a theoretical one?

Cheers, Fabien

I'm surprised too...

NS7 is actually based on Mozilla 1.0 yet... it sucks as all its predecessors.
I guess Navigator is cursed or something  :p

--------

There're plenty of solutions for Navigator 4, non for Opera (that I know). Unfortunately, non of the solutions that exist for NS4 are 100% effective.

Dreamweaver has one, DMB implements another and yet your page freezes when resized.

I say: forget about it.
I'm way to tired of dealing with the crappy NS4!

Hi Xavier,

With DMB 3.5, it works perfectly:

But with 4.0 (last build), the menu is not displayed:
http://www.enneagramme.com/9_testindex.htm
There is an unprecise javascript error: object required!

Of course, you have a solution! :laugh:
Cheers, Fabien

Fabien,

Aren't you using an AddIn?

If you're, post it here so I can upgrade it.

No. I don't use any AddIn.
Cheers, Fabien

Fabien,

Would it be possible that you move all your script loading statements to the BODY instead of the HEAD?

If you can't, try disabling the "Hide Form Elements" function.

Hi Magic Xavier,

It works! I don't exactly understand why it's better, but it works! (It=moving the script; in fact, I only moved the Menuloader.)

Cheers, Fabien

Version 4.0 performs several queries about the document where the menus are being displayed.

Since you were loading the menus from he HEAD tag, the code was trying to query the document object before it existed.

That's why you were getting an "Object Expected" error.

This new feature was introduced in DMB 4 in order to properly support documents with XHTML compliance.
