I'm failing to get a Javascript to run in Firefox that runs great in IE...need help with debugging.
I'm getting the error below but don't know what to do about it since I can't code Javascript. As I state before, IE runs this code just fine...I can't figure out why Firefox won't let it run. This cascading menu .js is just what I need for a charity website I'm helping to set up. The html portion is also shown below the .js
Error: menu is undefined Source File: file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Ray/My%20Documents/ECCHS_Website/CascadeMenu.js Line: 8
Here's the code for CascadeMenu.js
function InitMenu() { var bar = menuBar.children for(var i=0;i < bar.length;i++) { var menu=eval(bar[i].menu) menu.style.visibility = "hide" bar[i].onmouseover = new Function ("ShowMenu("+bar[i].id+")") var Items = menu.children for(var j=0; j<Items.length; j++) { var menuItem = eval(Items[j].id) if(menuItem.menu != null) { menuItem.innerHTML += "<Span Id="+menuItem.id+"_Arrow class='Arrow'>4</Span>" //var tmp = eval(menuItem.id+"_Arrow") // tmp.style.pixelLeft = menu.getBoundingClientRect().Right //- tmp.offsetWidth - 15 FindSubMenu(menuItem.menu)} if(menuItem.cmd != null) { menuItem.onclick = new Function("Do("+menuItem.id+")") } menuItem.onmouseover = new Function("highlight("+Items[j].id+")") } } } function FindSubMenu(subMenu) { var menu=eval(subMenu) var Items = menu.children for(var j=0; j<Items.length; j++) { menu.style.visibility = "hidden" var menuItem = eval(Items[j].id) if(menuItem.menu!= null) { menuItem.innerHTML += "<Span Id="+menuItem.id+"_Arrow class='Arrow'>4</Span>" // var tmp = eval(menuItem.id+"_Arrow") //tmp.style.pixelLeft = 35 //menuItem.getBoundingClientRect().right - tmp.offsetWidth - 15 FindSubMenu(menuItem.menu) } if(menuItem.cmd != null) { menuItem.onclick = new Function("Do("+menuItem.id+")") } menuItem.onmouseover = new Function("highlight("+Items[j].id+")") } } function ShowMenu(obj) { HideMenu(menuBar) var menu = eval(obj.menu) var bar = eval(obj.id) bar.className="barOver" menu.style.visibility = "visible" menu.style.pixelTop = obj.getBoundingClientRect().top + obj.offsetHeight + Bdy.scrollTop menu.style.pixelLeft = obj.getBoundingClientRect().left + Bdy.scrollLeft } function highlight(obj) { var PElement = eval(obj.parentElement.id) if(PElement.hasChildNodes() == true) { var Elements = PElement.children for(var i=0;i<Elements.length;i++) { TE = eval(Elements[i].id) TE.className = "menuItem" } } obj.className="ItemMouseOver" window.defaultStatus = obj.title ShowSubMenu(obj) } function Do(obj) { var cmd = eval(obj).cmd window.navigate(cmd) } function HideMenu(obj) { if(obj.hasChildNodes()==true) { var child = obj.children for(var j =0;j<child.length;j++) { if (child[j].className=="barOver") {var bar = eval(child[j].id) bar.className="Bar"} if(child[j].menu != null) { var childMenu = eval(child[j].menu) if(childMenu.hasChildNodes()==true) HideMenu(childMenu) childMenu.style.visibility = "hidden" } } } } function ShowSubMenu(obj) { PMenu = eval(obj.parentElement.id) HideMenu(PMenu) if(obj.menu != null) { var menu = eval(obj.menu) menu.style.visibility = "visible" menu.style.pixelTop = obj.getBoundingClientRect().top + Bdy.scrollTop menu.style.pixelLeft = obj.getBoundingClientRect().right + Bdy.scrollLeft if(menu.getBoundingClientRect().right > window.screen.availWidth ) menu.style.pixelLeft = obj.getBoundingClientRect().left - menu.offsetWidth } } ///////////////////CascadedDropdown Menu///////////////// //Date : 08/09/2001 // //Version : 1.0 // //Author Mr.Arun N Kumar // //EMail: [email protected] // ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////// // Modifications on this code is not recomended // Suggestions are welcome <html> <head> <link href="CascadeMenu.css" rel="stylesheet"> <script language="javascript" src="CascadeMenu.js"> </script> </head> <body OnLoad="InitMenu()" Onclick="HideMenu(menuBar)" ID="Bdy" bgColor=aliceblue> <font color="#6B8174"><b> East Contra Costa Historical<br>Society Content Menus</b></font><div align="center"> <DIV Id="menuBar" class="menuBar" > <DIV Id="Bar1" class="Bar" menu="menu1">Menu #1</DIV> <DIV Id="Bar2" class="Bar" menu="menu2">Menu #2</DIV> <DIV Id="Bar3" class="Bar" menu="menu3">Menu #3</DIV> <DIV Id="Bar4" class="Bar" menu="menu4">Menu #4</DIV></center> </DIV> <!--MenuItem Definition --> <div Id="menu1" class="menu" > <div Id="menuItem1_1" class="menuItem" menu="menu6">SubMenu #1</div> <div Id="menuItem1_2" class="menuItem" title="JavaScripts" cmd="http://javascript.internet.com/">JavaScript Source</div> <div Id="menuItem1_3" class="menuItem" title="WDVL" cmd="http://www.wdvl.com">WDVL</div> </div> <div Id="menu2" class="menu"> <div Id="menuItem2_1" class="menuItem">Page #1</div> <div Id="menuItem2_2" class="menuItem">Page #2</div> <div Id="menuItem2_3" class="menuItem">Page #3</div> </div> <div Id="menu3" class="menu"> <div Id="menuItem3_1" class="menuItem">Page #1</div> <div Id="menuItem3_2" class="menuItem">Page #2</div> <div Id="menuItem3_3" class="menuItem">Page #3</div> <div Id="menuItem3_4" class="menuItem" menu="menu5">SubMenu #4</div> </div> <div Id="menu4" class="menu"> <div Id="menuItem4_1" class="menuItem">Page #1</div> <div Id="menuItem4_2" class="menuItem">Page #2</div> <div Id="menuItem4_3" class="menuItem">Page #3</div> <div Id="menuItem4_4" class="menuItem">Page #4</div> </div> <div id="menu5" class="menu"> <div Id="menuItem5_1" class="menuItem">Page #4-1</div> <div Id="menuItem5_2" class="menuItem">Page #4-2</div> <div Id="menuItem5_3" class="menuItem">Page #4-3</div> </div> <div id="menu6" class="menu"> <div Id="menuItem6_1" class="menuItem">Page #1-1</div> <div Id="menuItem6_2" class="menuItem">Page #1-2</div> <div Id="menuItem6_3" class="menuItem" menu="menu7">SubMenu #1-1</div> </div> <div id="menu7" class="menu"> <div Id="menuItem7_1" class="menuItem">Page #1-1-1</div> <div Id="menuItem7_2" class="menuItem">Page #1-1-2</div> <div Id="menuItem7_3" class="menuItem">Page #1-1-3</div> </div><!-- End of Menu --><br> </body> </html>

I found a download of Cascade Menu with files from 2001. I also found a discussion thread as of 2006 indicating problems with the script in Firefox as of that time (Menubar Script problem in FireFox [Archive - WebDeveloper.com]). The web and web browsers have changed a lot during the past decade, so you might find it more efficient to get a new menu script than to fix this old one. (It might not even work in IE9 any more...)
