Switch Menu II... Help need please

[gregwah]

Hello,

Is there any way to make the switch menu II script behave like the original switch menu. By this I mean any open menu automatically collapses when another menu is clicked, as at the moment to make a menu close you have to click on it again. I only want to be able to open one menu at a time to avoid scrolling problems. I am using IE6

I'm hoping this is possible and that some code wiz can point me in the right direction.

Thanks for your help

Yes. In the menu.js file find the function SetSlide(), at the very beginnng of that function, it looks like this:

function SetSlide()
{   
			if (window.TIMER_SLIDE) clearInterval(TIMER_SLIDE) //DD added code

Make it look like this:

function SetSlide()
{   
var tmp1=OBJ_VIEW, tmp2=OBJ_SLIDE, tmp3=MainDiv
subs=document.getElementsByTagName('DIV')
for (i = 0; i < subs.length; i++)
if (subs[i].className=='subMenu'&&subs[i].getAttribute("state", 0)!="0"&&subs[i]!==tmp1){
OBJ_VIEW=subs[i]
OBJ_SLIDE=subs[i].parentNode
MainDiv=subs[i].parentNode.parentNode
RunSlide()
}
OBJ_VIEW=tmp1
OBJ_SLIDE=tmp2
MainDiv=tmp3
  
			if (window.TIMER_SLIDE) clearInterval(TIMER_SLIDE) //DD added code

Enjoy!

Thanks that works ok.

Do you know if there is anyway to make the 'topItem' class go to an url when clicked?
At the moment I have:

<div class="topItem" classOut="topItem" classOver="topItemOver" onMouseOver="Init(this);"><a href="home/home.htm" target="mainFrame">Home</a></div>

But this only follows the link when the text of the menu item is clicked and not the whole 'button'

I have tried onClick=parent.mainFrame.location='home/home.htm" and other variants along those lines but to no avail

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Greg
