Menu Script Refresh

[kyern]

I have a small problem with a menu script I am using called Jim's DHTML Menu. Every time the page resizes it calculates its position on the page and then performs a page reload. I really like this feature but I would like to find a way to have the script change position without the page reload - it messes with several javascript forms.

function floatMenu(scrWidth, scrHeight, mrgLeft, adjustNum)
{
	if (this.isMainMenu)
	{
		var bodyWidth = 0, mrg = 0;
		if (docType)
		{
			mrg = mrgLeft + 10;
			bodyWidth = document.getElementsByTagName("BODY")[0].offsetWidth;
		}
		else
		{
			mrg = 10;
			bodyWidth = document.body.scrollWidth;
		}

		if (adjustNum == 0 || adjustNum == 2)
		{
			var menuLeft = Math.ceil(this.main.offsetLeft + (screen.width - scrWidth)/2);
			this.main.style.left = Math.ceil(menuLeft - (screen.width - bodyWidth)/2 + mrg);
			this.iframe.style.left = this.main.offsetLeft;
		}
		if (adjustNum == 1 || adjustNum == 2)
		{
			this.main.style.top = this.main.offsetTop + (screen.height - scrHeight)/2;
			this.iframe.style.top = this.main.offsetTop;
		}

		if (this.hasShadow)
		{
			this.shadow.style.left = this.main.offsetLeft + this.sOffX;
			this.shadow.style.top = this.main.offsetTop + this.sOffY;
			this.siframe.style.left = this.shadow.offsetLeft;
			this.siframe.style.top = this.shadow.offsetTop;
		}

		window.onresize = new Function("location.reload();");
		
	}
}

This is the portion of the script that is responsible for the update. Is there any way to update this so it doesn't use location.reload?

Yes - comment out the last line (the one with the "window.onresize" at the start).

Hope this helps,

Sorry I may not be clear enough. I still want to use the onresize event. Is there a different way i can recalulate the position and move the script on the page to that location without reloading the page and destroying my js forms?

I've seen where objects have been animated on the screen in js before does anyone have any insight into that process?

You could try replacing the reload call with a call to whatever function is called "onload".
