Remember that you can analyze the code of pretty much any site on the web yourself - by viewing the source. The tree menu is indeed done via javascript, and you can take a look at it in the js file: http://www.planeshift.it/treemenu.js (http://www.planeshift.it/treemenu.js) (you can open it with any text editor).

That statement can be both true and untrue.

For a majority of the websites I have written, I used perl server side scripting to generate html on the fly.  So looking at the source would not show you the actual code.

I haven't encountered that frequently myself, so my reply was based on what I've seen :) Although I do know that not all websites will have their code available like so. As a general rule however it is the first thing you should try to check if you are interested in how something on a site was done.

Now that we're talking about the site, I happen to have a problem trying to access the links in the submenus on Hydlaa.com... somehow nothing happens when I click on them, so if I want to check up the settings, for instance, I can't (not by clicking at least). Now, I usually use Safari. Do you think that's got anything to do with it? Just wondering...

Is there a possibility Safari is not allowing javascript? I have the NoScript extension for Firefox that prevents any JS or Java or Flash from playing immediately, and I have to manually allow sites I trust. Perhaps Safari has a similar setting, or some customizable add-on that's interfering. Does the menu work with another browser?

a quick fix is get firefox, ive never heared of you browser, so i could be old and might not support sertan codes (AKA Javascript)

Hi

I am using the Mac OS X Safari browser Version 2.0.4 (419.3) and experience no problems at all with the menus and submenus on either Karyuu's revamp of the main PlaneShift website:
http://www.planeshift.it/index.html (http://www.planeshift.it/index.html)
or with Acraig's website:
http://hydlaa.com/ (http://hydlaa.com/)

I have Mac OS X Tiger Version 10.4.9 on this computer.

Safari is Apple's web browser and quite popular.

Sounds like it's only me then... perhaps my settings are all funky or my browser version is too old (running v.1.3.2). Meh, I think I got another browser somewhere in my applications folder...

Zhai undusts *yuck* MS Explorer...

AAARGH MS exsplorer, put it away! put it away!!!

*edit*

ow, by the way ive found a simple prob in the code...

Code: [Select]
<!-- SERVER STATUS
<div class="serverstatus">Server Status: <span class="green">ONLINE</span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Players: <span class="green">111</span></div>-->
</div>
</body>
<!-- InstanceEnd -->

should be

Code: [Select]
<!-- SERVER STATUS -->
<div class="serverstatus">Server Status: <span class="green">ONLINE</span> &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Players: <span class="green">111</span></div>
</div>
</body>
<!-- InstanceEnd -->

 ;D

The div tag was enclodes in the comment tags...

Mufler, please don't double-post. If you have some new information to add before anyone replied to a post you made, just edit that last post instead of making another. Small forum policy :)

The tag isn't a mistake - that code is supposed to be commented out, as it's nonfunctional. It was a placeholder for an actual server status script that hasn't made it in yet.

Depends on what you want to do :) If you're interested in working with code, trying to fix issues on the BugTracker via patches would be a very good first step. You can contact Nilaya to submit fixes. For contributions in Settings, try Xillix. Art contributions are a bit harder at the moment, although I am hoping we will eventually accept them as well. Generally, art needs to come from those applying or those already on the team. You can fill out the official application (http://laanx.fragnetics.com/nexus/newapplicant.php) and become a prospect if you think you're ready for more of a full-time position, rather than that of a contributor.

Don't do it Zhai! Heres the link to firefox: www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox (http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox)

Its great! Hardly ever pop-ups, faster than MSE, and has a bunch of cool themes.
