Re: milonic menu problems
sorry guys I just got in and got the responses to my question. I suppose it has been fixed in NS6 its the only browser that it doesnt happen in.. Putting it in a higher indexed layer doesnt help here. Was kinda trying to avoid the disapearing and reappearing thing but i guess ill see what that looks like. . maybe i can get a project for a magician? he'd HAVE to like it thanks for all your input - Original Message - From: Ronald West [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: CF-Talk [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, May 31, 2002 12:09 AM Subject: RE: milonic menu problems We used a slider once and we had the same problem.

RE: milonic menu problems
there are other options, but these typically require more overhead. One option is to use a java applet. There are a few commercial ones out there (www.imint.com for one I've used before), or you could roll your own. Or, you could take another look at your page layout and move the select boxes or menu to a location that won't overlap (can be painful depending on how complex your layout is). On the plus side, I've seen and played with the milonic menus before, and love it. I'll probably be using it in a couple sites I'm working on (when I get to the public part of it). My two cents worth.

RE: milonic menu problems
This isn't a problem with CF or the menu. It is a problem with browsers. The only way around this that I have seen so far is to use the ms combo box object (ie only).
