Anylink Dropdown menu on IE6, script conflicts?

**padstow** · 03-31-2008, 11:16 PM

1) Script Title: AnyLink Drop Down Menu

2) Script URL (on DD): http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...pmenuindex.htm

3) Describe problem:
I'm trying to fnd a dropdown menu that works happily in IE6 - I seem to have no problems getting things working in FireFox and IE7, IE6 is the bane of my existence.

After trying Suckerfish, I'm now trying AnyLink Drop Downs - I see my menus as hoped in IE7 and Firefox (albeit there is a script error showing in my IE7 error, one problem at a time) - but neither my dropdown menus nor my slideshow script run on IE6 (slideshow script was fine before adding AnyLink).

Can anyone shed light on how I can fix this? I linked to the dropdown script in an external js file to shorten my page's code, would like to keep it that way. My editable lines of JS look like this:



var menu1=new Array()

menu1[0]='<a href="http://72.167.156.114/ee/index.php?/area/">Location</a>'

menu1[1]='<a href="#">Views Around Kinloch</a>'

menu1[2]='<a href="#">What&lsquo;s New</a>'





//Contents for menu 2, and so on

var menu2=new Array()

menu2[0]='<a href="#">Neighborhood Map</a>'

menu2[1]='<a href="#">Available Properties</a>'

menu2[2]='<a href="#">Current Listings</a>'

		

var menuwidth='115px' //default menu width

var menubgcolor='#FFFFF5'  //menu bgcolor

var disappeardelay=250  //menu disappear speed onMouseout (in miliseconds)

var hidemenu_onclick="yes" //hide menu when user clicks within menu?

Of course, forgot link:

Quick note, I read the sticky about not complaining when two scripts don't work together on the same page, so I removed the slideshow-

The Anylink Dropdown menu still does not appear to work on IE6 (fine on IE7, Firefox).

Try to change the way you call your external CSS

Code:

<STYLE type="text/css">
  @import url(http://72.167.156.114/ee/index.php?css=site/site_css.v.1207022570);
  @import url(http://72.167.156.114/ee/index.php?css=site/site_css.v.1207022570);
</STYLE>

Or use the <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"....

Let's start from this fix

Thanks for the reply! I tried changing the external stylesheet call, then just put the style for the dropdowns in the head section, still no luck on IE6.

I'm having this same sort of problem...

Scripts:
AnyLink Drop Down Menu
Dynamic Ajax Content

Problem: When the "AnyLink Drop Down Menu" links are supposed to run the "Dynamic Ajax Content" both script completely die on me.

Code:
var menu1=new Array()
menu1[0]='<a href="javascript:ajaxpage('test.htm', 'contentarea');">LOAD CONTENT</a>'
menu1[1]='<a href="javascript:ajaxpage('test.htm', 'contentarea');">LOAD CONTENT</a>'
menu1[2]='<a href="javascript:ajaxpage('test.htm', 'contentarea');">LOAD CONTENT</a>'
menu1[3]='<a href="javascript:ajaxpage('test.htm', 'contentarea');">LOAD CONTENT</a>'

any input on why the script dies? or a re-write of both scripts put together. Is there any other way to call the content? I'm really stumped on this one! Please help!

Thanks!
