Q: I would like to call a popup window with javascript from a menu item.
A: You should add the code for popup window on your html page with the menu:
<!-- Deluxe Popup Window -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxepopupwindow.com">menu drop down by DeluxePopupWindow.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-popup-window.files/dpopupwindow.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="deluxe-popup-window.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, DeluxePopupWindow.com -->
Inside menuItems you should open the window in the following way:
["Click to open Popup Window","javascript:deluxePopupWindow.open('window1',
'http://deluxepopupwindow.com', 'Popup window',
'width=420,height=300,resizable,scrollbars=no,middle,right,fade-effect',
'windowsvista_graphite','iframe')",
"", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],

A: You can have such effect when the page entirely was not loaded yet.
So, images were loaded only for the 1 state and for the other stat were not loaded yet.
If you don't want to have such effect you can use 1 state buttons.
Q: I made a html CD presentation based on cascading drop down menu but it works good only onIE and Google Chrome web browsers.
It doesn't work good on Mozilla Firefox browser. It shows menu properly but there is a problem with normal navigation.
The problem is with paths. I put the main js file in "menu" folder and I also have few folders with many html files in them.
For path I use the following "file:/(direct path to specific html file)". It works fine with IE and Google, but Mozilla/Firefox doesn't show the menu.
I tried also to use prefix "file:/" but it also doesn't show the cascading drop down menu on Mozilla/Firefox.
Is there any way to solve this problem?
Thank you for your answer.
A: It is not correct to add "file:/" in the link field.
You should write:
menu/image.gif
or
../menu/image.gif
You can try also to write links in the following way:
file://html/other/1.html
But I don't think that this will help you.
This is a feature of Firefox browser, Opera and Safari. These browsers cannot determine the root folder ofthe website (D:\ in the examples below) on a local machine (as IE and Google Chrome).
IE: D:\html\other\page.html (works)
Opera: file://localhost/html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
Google Chrome: file:///D:/html/other/page.html (works)
Safari: file:///html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
Firefox: file:///html/other/page.html (link doesn't work)
You use relative paths (and your folders have several embedded folders), so your links won'twork correctly in Firefox, Opera and Safari. The reason is not in the menu. Standard linkswon't work too.
So I think that the unique solution in your case is to move ALL link files (1.html,2.html, a.html ...) into the same folder with your index.html file.Q: Do you have a list of which browsers and which operating system platforms that your DHTML Menu is compatible with?
A: Please, see the list of supported browsers.
