Reload problem

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 21.2009

Hi,

I have a front page which starts with a welcome message.
Mouseover the welcome and the main menu drops down.

I want to the viewer to be able to return to the front page
and have the menu already dropped down and available.

Sounds straightforward, but the reload function is stopping the
dropdown function from running. Not getting any error messages either.

Any ideas?

Drop the menu (reveals links progressively):

[CODE]showMBR() {
onD(‘MBR’); setTimeout(‘onV(‘enq’)’,400); setTimeout(‘onV(‘browse’)’,800);
setTimeout(‘onV(‘notes’)’,1200);
setTimeout(‘onV(‘bones’)’,3600); return false;
}[/CODE]

Reloading:

[CODE]function reLoad() {
window.location.reload(true); // or just .reload()
}[/CODE]

Putting them together:

[code=html]onclick=”reload(); setTimeout(‘showMBR()’, 400)”[/code]

?

@mityaDec 21.2009 — Since you didn't post HTML, I'll assume you mean a <select> tag when you say drop-down. If so, the only way you can force it to open without an actual click to it is via dispatchEvent, e.g.

[CODE]<script>
window.onload = function() {
var selObj = document.getElementById('someID');
var evObj = document.createEvent('MouseEvents');
evObj.initEvent( 'mousedown', true, true );
selObj.dispatchEvent(evObj);
}
</script>

<select id="someID">
<option>one</option>
<option>two</option>
<option>three</option>
</select>[/CODE]

@ctozauthorDec 21.2009 — Actually, no, it's a straight <a> tag which sits near the top left corner of the page, except in the opening pane:

<a class="nav" id="homelink" title="home" href="javascript://" onfocus="blur()" onclick="reLoad();showMBR();">&#26131</a>

Success!
