SmartMenus DHTML Menu / JavaScript Menu - Forums

I am not very sure I understand exactly what you mean. :?

Could you please provide me with some sample?

freestyle,

Thanks very much for your detailed explanation! I understood the problem- it's definitely something I haven't noted before. I did a test with Firefox 1.0 and unfortunately, at first sight, I don't see any solution- it seems like it's an issue in the Gecko rendering engine. :?

However, I will do some more tests in the next few days and will try to find some fix although I am a bit sceptic..

I have exactly the problem as freestyle's. 

I have a permanent menu with relative positioning on my website.

I would like to try freestyle's solution to see if it solves the problem, but I'm not familiar with <div>. 

Can anyone tell me how I can code the <div> for my permanent, relative positioning menu?  :?:

Thanks. 

I know that iframe is not the best way to implement a site too.

But for my site, every page has the same site banner at the top and the copyright notice at the bottom of the page.
What I like about iframe is that the banner/menu and the copyright notice don't need to be loaded each time when a page is loaded.

As you can see, I'm not really good at html.
Besides iframe, is there any way to code the website so that the banner and copyright notice don't need to be loaded every time when a page is loaded?

Thanks for your replies.
I've decided to eliminate the iframe for ease of use.
But now I have some questions/problems, which I posted in the new post.

Really appreciates your help!

freestyle,

You guessed it, unfortunately, I think this is not practical. Not practical at all to be honest. :?

This is why I will most probably not implement it in any future release. But I do appreciate your help very much!

Thanks again!

Mathew,

Thank you very much for sharing your insight!

I just did some tests with your solution in Firefox 1.04. It misbehaves only in some very rare occasions (as if the page in the iframe loses focus) but it seems to function pretty well.

So this basically can be considered a pretty nice solution until the guys at Mozilla fix Gecko.

For the SmartMenus users- you just have to add the onmouseover="parent.s_hide()" event handler to the body tag of the page(s) that load(s) in the iframe.

PS: Mathew, thanks once again! I really appreciate it!

purifieron,

I am not sure you've read the whole topic (I suppose you haven't ) but what Mathew suggested seems to work pretty well:

I came across this forum when searching for a solution for exactly the same problem (onMouseOut not working for iFrames in non-IE browsers). I don't (yet ) use SmartMenus but I found a workaround for my problem - maybe it can be of use here too (or at least for other people searching google for "iframe onmouseout action").

Other Browsers don't seem to recognize the onMouseOut event, but most should be able to handle onMouseOver events for the body- tag.
So if you call the function, that is usually called on onMouseOut to close the menu, from an onMouseOver in the body-tag of the page that is loaded into the iFrame, this should solve the problem. Not a really smart solution but in most cases it should work.
