PROBLEMS

[bful]

I downloaded coolmenus 3 and it will not work correctly in Navigator 4.08. If I move around inside the menus too quickly, it crashes. IE works fine. What can I do to fix this?

Sorry, I am not sure what is causing your problem. But, please try and be a little more descriptive in your message title.
Thanks,

I have tried the menus in most NS4 versions and haven't seen any problems like that. Does it behave like that on the examples from this site as well or?

I know exactly what he is talking about. I was testing in Netscape 4.77 yesterday and noticed the same thing. Visit my test site

Mouse over the menu items fairly quickly a few times and then try to click on something. Coolmenus3 seems to freeze up like its trying to catch up to all the mouse activity. I also got a javascript error.

I typed in javascript: and it said there was a problem with line 512.

I was just checking it out again in Netscape and I think I figured out what the problem is. It has something to do with where the mouse cursor is over the box. If you reload the page, click on some menu items, but click over the actual text where the cursor changes from a pointer to a regular text cursor. This will work a few times. You should be able to view a few pages. Then it just stops. Now, mouse over the box, but not over the text area, in other words, keep the mouse as a pointer. You will see that it works. BTW, it was line 518 rather than 512, my mistake.

I still can't get that error, but i have done some changes on the NS4 stuff.

Try this link:
http://www.dhtmlcentral.com/coolmenus/examples/NS4test/menu13.html

JS file:
http://www.dhtmlcentral.com/coolmenus/examples/NS4test/coolmenus3_test.js

and let me know if that helps.

I've added links as well as the onclick.

(if you're using it in frames and want the links to not have underline you have to add: <style>A.clNS4{text-decoration:none}</style>
To the framed pages for now.)

Also to get this to work you have to add one variable in menu file:

oCMenu.useNS4links=1

Let me know if that helps.

I just implemented the new changes. It appears to have fixed the Netscape problems. Also, I noticed that the menus are faster. Whatever you did, it worked and worked good. BTW, the style tag. Where do you add that. Could you give me an example.
