Event occurs when clicking on menu item

[bill1one]

I would like a certain event to occur when a user clicks on "Purchase Request" in the menu.

Following is the script that generates the menu. "Purchase Request" is the second item in the menu.


window.menu_0 = new Menu("root",130,16,"Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif",10,"#002200","#002200","#D7DFD7","#F0EDE3","left","middle",3,0,250,-5,7,true,true,true,0,true,true);
menu_0.addMenuItem("Library Catalog","location='../OPAC'");
menu_0.addMenuItem("Purchase Request","location='../request.html'");

menu_0.hideOnMouseOut=true;
menu_0.menuBorder=0;
menu_0.menuLiteBgColor='#002200';
menu_0.menuBorderBgColor='#999999';
menu_0.bgColor='#cccccc';

What was your question related to Javascript?

And where is the rest of the code? We have absolutely no idea about:

- What menu system you are using
- What the "Menu" object is
- What the "addMenuItem" method of the "Menu" object does
- Where or how you are calling this code
- The exact error you are getting
- What steps you have taken to debug this issue yourself
- What browser(s) it fails in (IE? Firefox? For which OS?)

You really should be a bit more specific if you need help. You should also post your code between TGML [ignore]

[/ignore] tags - it makes it a whole lot easir to read.

You've been a member of TT for long enough now that you should know this is not a "request some feature" kind of place. This is a place where we assist other professionals with specific problems they have encountered. You appear to have done no work on attempting to solve this yourself - and seem complacent just asking others to do your code for you.

That looks like Front Page canned Javascript, maybe Dreamweaver, though (gack).

It is a dreamweaver menu, but anyhow, what I was trying to do was use an OnClick event that when a user clicked "purchase request" on the drop down menu, the following code would execute:

function requestItem() {
var is_sure=window.confirm("Click \"OK\" to confirm that you have searched the \n collection and would like to complete a request for purchase.");
 if (is_sure==true) {
 window.location="../request.html";
 } else {
 window.location="../OPAC";
 }
}

I can get it to work with a static link, but not when I use the "purchase request" item in the dropdown menu.

I'm not looking for anyone to write code for me, I just was hoping that someone had some sort of reference to help me out.

Bill... take a peek back at your original post - you certainly came across that way to me.

Thanks to everyone who responded. The easiest solution was to execute the code with the OnLoad event, so I didn't even use the menu in the end. I'm sorry if I caused any headaches.
