Q: The menu has a problem with newlines. The menu builds correctly (layout ok) but when pressed on the button nothing happens
At some point, in the DHTML menu, we have the following in the javascript:
var menuitems = [
["|Print HTML","javascript:alert('HTML print: Only the 7 most recent orders on the screen \n will be printed because of space limitations on paper.');printResult('4'); ","","", ,"_parent",,] ]
As you can see we have a newline (\n) between the words "screen" and "will". But when we click on the button nothing happens. If we remove the newline and we click on the button then we first get the alert box. After pressing the OK button the function printResult is called.
Is there any way for us to still use the newline character in the menuItems variable?
This can be easily reproducible. That's why I haven't made an example.
A: Try to write in the following way \\n:
["|Print HTML","javascript:alert('HTML print: Only the 7 most recent orders on the screen \\n will be printed because of space limitations on paper.');printResult('4'); ","","", ,"_parent",,]

Q: I want you to start modifying on your menu items in menu.js to get the caption from prestext. If you look at the bottom of commonfooter.html, you will see code like
<a target="_top" class="sidenav" href="<%=strprefex%>WillPlanning.asp?SessionID=<%
=sessionid%>&UserName=<%=Username%>" onclick="RedirectToParentPage=''; return CheckForChanges(1024,'')">
<%=GetPresText("WillCreatorBug",rsmenu)%></a>
A: You can use any html tags within item text, for example:
var menuItems = [
["<a target='_top' class='sidenav' href='<%=strprefex%>WillPlanning.asp?SessionID=<% =sessionid%>&UserName=<%=Username%>'
onclick='RedirectToParentPage=''; return CheckForChanges(1024,'')'>Home<%=GetPresText('WillCreatorBug',rsmenu)%></a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: Your service is excellent and I am making progress learning the program. I was able to resolve the transparency issue thanks to your help but, but now I have another one that is stumping me.
I can get the menu to show up in my html document and it works as I hoped it would. However, no matter where I put the line of code in my html file, the down menu in dhtml always shows up at the very top of the page. The instructions indicate the following:
Copy the following code into clipboard and paste it into the place you want to have the down menu in dhtml:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>
For example, into a table cell:
<table>
<td><script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script></td>
</table>
No matter where I put the code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>, the menu shows up at the top of the page.
What am I missing?
A: Check that you're using relative position for the down menu in dhtml:
var absolutePos=0;
var posX="0px";
var posY="0px";
