Cascading Menu Item Problem

[eyebean]

Hi,

I've setup a cascading menu item,

eg:

open
save
---------
reopen ->

then click on reopen:

open
save
---------
reopen -> file1
file2

The example above is not what i actually use, but for purposes of easy illustration.

The problems is that i also have an onclick event for the 'reopen' menu item and each time i settle the mouse cursor on the reopen item so that the submenu will display the onclick event fires automatically. Does anyone know how to stop it from firing?

IMHO having a menu with submenus that does something in its own right is unconventional and would be confusing to users.

Why not change it to something like:

open
save
---------
reopen -> do reopen
file1
file2

that's one way of fixing things.

i'll probably do that, seeing as it's much better than having a buggy program.

thanks for the suggestion.
