domMenu as a widget

[Lars Nygaard]

Hello,

I'm trying to use domMenu to create a widget in a number of web
applications (after changing the ResolveLink function to 'eval' if type
is 'js'). My problem is that I need to reuse a complicated menu
structure a about 20 times on a page, but when I try to reuse the menu
hash, the menu starts behaving erratically (exept for the first one to
be opened).

The problem is illustrated here:

To get around this problem, I've created an enormous js-file with the
exact same code copied in for each menu, but it would be nice to do it
properly.



Regards,

I'm afraid you cannot reference the same menu definition object for
two different menus. You will either have to generate the menu
definition Hash twice or you can implement a deep clone to make a copy
of the existing definition object. What you are seeing is a bleeding
of the two menus. In essence, they are acting like one menu. The
reason this happens is because I use the original Hash to store
temporary information.

Hope that makes sense.
