Hi, I installed the demo menu with my web application. It works fine in Firefox 1.0 but when view in IE 6.x I get the following javascript error. Line: 72 char: 1 Error: 'this.page.style' is null or not an object Code: 0 URL: http://localhost.... The menu works but I need to get rid of the error so users won't complain when they see it. Thanks Doug Pham

Hi,
you included the feature not to disable the current menu item.
I tried to set it with: menu.prefs["no-disable"] = true; bit its not working :(
Am i too stupid to use it? (tried it before AND after the menu.generate(); command)
Or is it a bug? :)
Greetings
Mario

I'm very sorry, it seems you're right--there is a bug there. However, until we fix it, here's an easy workaround. Use menu.prefs["no-disable"] = "item-disabled", right after the call to new NavBar(...). What I had in mind was to allow one to keep the item enabled and add a special CSS class to it so that it can look different. "item-disabled" is the default class name for disabled items, and it will keep the item enabled yet make it look different ("selected" so to say). You can pass any string there and customize items having that class from the CSS file.

It's true though that this should work when you pass a boolean too--we'll fix this in the next release.

Hi!
I'm trying to change the icons size, with:

menu.prefs["icon-width"] = 32;
menu.prefs["icon-height"] = 32;

Before of menu.generate();

But it seems to have no effect. Is there a bug here?

These may also be defined in the CSS file. For example, look into navbar/navbar.css file and search for '.image' or '.img'--note that some define width and/or height. Same problem might apply to the WinXM theme.

It was essential to define the width/height through JavaScript too in order for PNG icons to work properly in Internet Explorer.

hi,
we are still testing the NavBar.
And I found another bug. :-)
It seems that you are parsing the submitted form values in your script.
the problem is: All fields (tested with hidden fields) which started with an underscore were not submitted. (e.g. <input type="hidden" name="_test" value="test">)
Thats a big Problem for us.
Can you fix this plz ?

Another Problem is the CURRENT Page, which you set with:
_NavBar_pageID = "CUR LABEL"; * menu label of the current page *

maybe im wrong, but i think its not possible to have 2 menu-items with the same label.(only the last would be marked as active) That is also a problem for us :)
We would be very happy if you can fix this.

But all in all: another great script from dynarch.com :-)

Hi,

No kiddin' :-)

No, we're not.  In fact, NavBar doesn't even care if you have a <form> there or something else.

the problem is: All fields (tested with hidden fields) which started with an underscore were not submitted. (e.g. <input type="hidden" name="_test" value="test">)

I'm positive that this is not a NavBar problem.  I just made a quick test and it all works fine--just make sure that your formular is correct (i.e. inside a <form> with the proper action and also make sure that your server-side script doesn't discard arguments that start with an underscore).

So again, HTML inside NavSection-s is totally unrelated to NavBar and if done well, will work well.  If you want to make sure that parameters are passed correctly, just use GET instead of POST (as the form method argument) and you should see all the parameters in the URL.

Another Problem is the CURRENT Page, which you set with:
_NavBar_pageID = "CUR LABEL"; * menu label of the current page *

maybe im wrong, but i think its not possible to have 2 menu-items with the same label.(only the last would be marked as active) That is also a problem for us :)
We would be very happy if you can fix this.

Well, this is handled outside the main NavBar script--in setupmenu.js, which is just an usage example.  You can figure out a different way to disable the current menu item, i.e. by an ID not by label.  For instance, modify your setupmenu.js like this:

var labels = [
	"label 1",
	"label 2",
	"label 3",
	... /* put all labels from all sections here */
];

function L(id) {
	if (_NavBar_pageID == id)
		return "!" + labels[id];
	else
		return labels[id];
}

And later when calling NavSection, instead of adding “L(label)” each time, add “L(id)”, where “id” is the numerical index of the current label from the “labels” array.  Also, in the page HTML code, instead of using textual ID-s, assign the numeric ID to _NavBar_pageID.

To be more specific, NavBar will disable an item if its label starts with an exclamation sign.  Our "L" function handles this in a transparent way, allowing you to define the page label right in the page HTML (using the _NavBar_pageID global variable) and to define the whole menu in an outside script (which is setupmenu.js).  So the only thing you should do is to add the exclamation sign as the first character in the menu item that has to be disabled--which can be accomplished with code like above, but it's also, external to NavBar--use your imagination. :-p

But all in all: another great script from dynarch.com :-)

Thank you, we're glad you like it.  :-)

Ram,

I am sorry but NavBar isn't really designed to be embedded in a table object. This being said, I can try to help but please provide me a test case--perhaps email us an HTML document that triggers the bug, or an URL where the problem can be seen?

Best regards,

div tag positioning issue

I don't think this qualifies as a bug, but it is something that we cannot seem to get to work when using the navbar. I'm sure that it is the way we are doing it because I've seen sites that use your navbar and make this work fine.

We installed your navbar about 8 months ago and really like it.. but when we started we were using a fixed width screen for our application. We are changing to a "liquid layout" as I've heard it called... just a non fixed width to take advantage of higher resolution monitor.

I am not able to get screens that use the navbar to work correctly with it. We set your navbar is set to 160px. Then the body of the page is set to 100%. But the body extends 160px past the edge of the browser. I'm sure this has something to do with my inexperience with style sheets and such.. of course if I remove the content and subContent div tags that you require then everything works fine without the menu.... any ideas what my problem could be. I'm not asking for an indepth analysis.. but being an expert (or much closer to one then me) with the layout of a page you may be able to imediately point out what I'm most likely doing wrong.

Thanks

Greg

Hey there,

There seems to be a bug in navbar in terms of z-indexing, as I'm creating these "popup" images as part of the CSS for the menus. Here is the bug:

bottom of navbar being cut off.

This is more of a support issue then a bug.

We are using your menu and love it.. I'm having a small problem though, and it has been quite a while since I set this up so some of my understanding may have slipped.

But our application has a section that spans the entire top of the page.. then down the left side we have your navbar and on the right we have our content. Our content is inside the nexted divs with id=content and subcontent which I believe is required.

If our content for a particular page is small then the bottom of the navbar gets cut off (where ever the bottom of the content goes.

My first thought was to add a height of 100% to the parent content div.. but the height 100% as if it where starting at 0,0 on the screen and not down 50px due to our top section that is above the navbar. So I get a permanent scroll bar if I do that.

I can't set a standard size because we use the navbar as a menu and allow the users to add items to it, so it could be any size.

can you offer any advice on how to solve this?

Navbar height problem

by b_raajkumar

Hi there,

I am trying out your navbar to be interegrated in our application.

I have two questions, concerns,

1. I dont have to set any cookie to remember the state of the cookie. I tried using "menu.prefs["cookie-exp"] = 0" but I dont think it works.

2. Say I have three navsections. I am trying to generate a tree under each of them and when I click on each title the corresponding tree would appear. Since its the left side navigation, I am trying to set the height of each section (tree content height) to be a certain px to occupy the complete page/browser height. Everthing seems to work fine. Say one tree is visible and I click on the second title to view the second tree, the scrollbar increases and then decreases. Since I do more with the resizing of the browser ( i control certain table / div heights when browser is resized) this is a problem. Is there a solution for this?

A quick response is highly appreciated since I have to buy the script and integrated it soon.

Thanks,
Raaj
