Hi

I'm NEW here in SmartMenus. Does smart menu have the feature of "onclick"?

For example I have a Windows Media Player on my site and I will use Smart menu for the link of INTERNET TV live.

I want the menu to be: (for example there are many channel of TV)when the user click on the link for example; I put the link of Bloomberg Video --> http://www.bloomberg.com/streams/video/LiveBTV200.asxx. When the user click that it will automatically will play on the WMPlayer that I provide on my website.


Is that possible for SmartMenus?
IS it posible to implement?

Thanks

As far as I get it, you will need to execute onclick a JS function that will tell the WMP control to play the selected ASX file. So if this is it, yes it is possible. You just have to set a menu item like this:

...
{U:'javascript:theFunctionHere("for_instance_the_address_here")',T:'Bloomberg'}
...

I did what you say when I put this {U:'javascript:onclick="swapVid('http://www.ontoptv.com/asx/ontoptv.asx')"',T:'Bloomberg'} ont the s_arrays.js the menu did not function anymore.

I put this function
// WMPlayer ONCLICK
function swapVid(iWhichVid){
Player.URL = iWhichVid ;
}

also on s_arays.js.

There no error but the menu did not appear. Is there something wrong in my command? What will I do to correct that?

Regards and more power to you. :D

You should do it like this:

{U:'javascript:swapVid("http://www.ontoptv.com/asx/ontoptv.asx")',T:'Bloomberg'}

Regards and more power to you too!!! :D

I didn't see any link to the SmartMenus script on that page. :? Is this actually the page where the menus don't appear?
