Re: [Dynapi-Help] How DTDs effect IE 6 and Mozilla 1.5 on Windows (HTMLMenu)

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 422-6466

Well it has been over 10 hours and my email seems not to have made it
through.

Here are the fixes for HTMLMenu that makes Mozilla work w/all DTD
specifications.  As I mentioned before, IE has bug w/the getHeight
function under some DTDs.  The bug causes the
dynapi.document.getHeight() call to return 0 and makes auto-fold
sub-menus section fail.

Here's the diff: 
diff src/gui/htmlmenu.js.orig src/gui/htmlmenu.js

<                       str += '<div id="' + itemID + '"
onclick="return '+this+'._e(\'click\','+currMenu+','+currItem+')"
style="position: absolute; left: ' + itemX + '; top: ' + itemY + ';
width: ' + w + '; height: ' + h + '; visibility: inherit; ';
