pull-down menus on control page
- Thread starter occas
- Start date
I am a bit confused on what you mean by a control page?? do you mean a user control? if it is then you should not have and tags like <head><html><body> both opening and closing. the reason is that when you import this control the page already contains these tags!
Sorry if i have missed what you meant.

i wonder if anyone has used a control page for a pull-down menu?
i am trying 2 control pages. first one i have placed in my page <head> section:
<code>
<%@ Control Language="VB" %>
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
stdBrowser = (document.getElementById) ? true : false
function toggleMenu(currElem,nextPos) {
menuObj= (stdBrowser) ? document.getElementById(currElem).style : eval("document." + currElem)
if (toggleMenu.arguments.length == 1 {
nextPos = (parseInt(menuObj.top) == -5) ? -90 : -5
}
menuObj.top = (stdBrowser) ? nextPos + "px" : nextPos
}
-->
</script>
</code>
the second control page is in the <body> section:
<code>
<%@ Control Language="VB" %>
<div id="mainMenu" class="menu" onmouseover="toggleMenu('searchMenu', -5)" onmouseout="toggleMenu('searchMenu', -90)"><br />
<a href=" />
<a href=" />
<a href=" />
<a href=" />
<a href=" />
<a href="javascript:toggleMenu('mainMenu')">main</a>
</div>
</code>
i have .menu declared in my maincss.css file. i get the links to appear where i want them on the left margin. but not in a pull-down fashion. they are lined up as in a regular menu. all links are visible when you load the page.
any help tyvm.

just for the heck of it, i tried the following code, straight from the text i have. it results in the same thing. no pull-down menu with "error on page" in status bar. details of error are object expected line 30, column 1. i know it's a javascript error but not why. i will post the code. one other question. the # symbol in the <style> section i have not seen before.
i have also tried the postion:absolute in the <style> section. all that does is put the menu so far up the screen i can't see it all.
