The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Have a visual studio menu control on a page. Elsewhere on the page I have a graphic. I want to cause the menu control to act as though it is being moused over when I mouseover the graphic. Does anyone know how to do this with javascript or an area map or anything?

Here is the html for the menu control on my page.

<div id="mnuTax" >
<asp:Menu ID="mnuTaxX" runat="server" BorderColor="Transparent" Font-Bold="True" BackColor="Transparent" datasourceid="SiteMapDataSourceTax" DynamicHoverStyle-BorderWidth="1px" DynamicHoverStyle-Font-Names="verdana, arial" DynamicMenuItemStyle-BorderColor="Black" DynamicMenuItemStyle-BorderStyle="Solid" DynamicMenuItemStyle-BorderWidth="1px" DynamicMenuItemStyle-Font-Names="verdana, arial" ItemWrap="false" MaximumDynamicDisplayLevels="5" DynamicHoverStyle-Font-Size="9pt" DynamicMenuItemStyle-Font-Size="9pt" DynamicMenuStyle-Font-Size="9pt" DynamicSelectedStyle-Font-Size="9pt" Font-Size="9pt" StaticHoverStyle-Font-Size="9pt" StaticMenuStyle-Font-Size="9pt" StaticSelectedStyle-Font-Size="9pt" Font-Names="Verdana" DynamicMenuItemStyle-ForeColor="Black" DynamicMenuStyle-BackColor="White" DynamicSelectedStyle-ForeColor="Black" DynamicSelectedStyle-BackColor="White" StaticHoverStyle-BackColor="Transparent" StaticHoverStyle-ForeColor="Transparent" StaticMenuItemStyle-ForeColor="Transparent" DynamicHoverStyle-BackColor="White" DynamicHoverStyle-ForeColor="Black" DynamicMenuStyle-ForeColor="black" ForeColor="Transparent" StaticSubMenuIndent="1px" Visible="true" height="25px" Width="45px" StaticMenuStyle-VerticalPadding="0" StaticEnableDefaultPopOutImage="false" SkipLinkText="">

You mean something like (I am totally guessing from the mess you posted)

<img
onMouseOver="document.getElementById('mnuTaxX').style.backgroundColor='white';
document.getElementById('mnuTaxX').style.color='black'">
onMouseOut="document.getElementById('mnuTaxX').style.backgroundColor='black';
document.getElementById('mnuTaxX').style.color='white'">

When you mouse over a .net 2.0 menu control it launches the control's self created javascript. Specifically it calls a function Menu_HoverStatic that control, I think. I basically want to call that function from a certain image on my page with the hope that it will cause the .net menu control to expand.

You pointed out to me that you are doing a getElementById for the menu control. I suppose once I got the element I could somehow execute a method that would cause it's mouseover event. I'm not sure how you would do this. Good thought though. I wasn't thinking that you could retrieve a server control like you would a javascript element. If you know how to retrieve the item with getElementById and then cause it to execute the mouseover, please advise.

This worked. Points to me.

I added this on the image I want to activate the menu control's drop down. The trick was finding the ctl00_ name.

onmouseover="MnuExpand('ctl00_mnuPyrlX');" onmouseout="MnuCollapse('ctl00_mnuPyrlX');"

Then I added the following script in my page.

<script language=Javascript>
//Place after the creation of the menu controls on the page.
function MnuExpand(strItem) {
var obj;
obj = document.getElementById(strItem);
Menu_HoverStatic(obj);
}
function MnuCollapse(strItem) {
var obj;
obj = document.getElementById(strItem);
Menu_Unhover(obj);
}
</script>

To my own surprise it worked.
