I am using Eric Oulashin's BRE/Lord Menu's. I used the example provided to
create a hierarchal menu for BRE. I placed the url of the archive below.
I ran into trouble when I added a Message Base to a menu.. I also use Eric's
SlyEdit as my editor of choice. Calling the editor from 2 layers deep
creates the following error:
---<snip>--
!JavaScript /sbbs/exec/L169_Menu.js line 206: too much recursion
!JavaScript /sbbs/exec/SlyEdit.js line 1: unknown (can't convert to string)
!ERROR compiling /sbbs/exec/SlyEdit.js
---<snip>---
The editor is not in question, calling any JavaScript file from 2 layers
deep creates the same type of error message. However there is no problem
calling JS files from The first layer of a such a JS menu.
I am quite fond of Eric's Menus. It makes adding new games a breeze, far
easier than trying to do Lightbars with Baja, and it looks great too!
I included the link because there are a couple of JS Scripts including
DDlightBarMenu.js. The Archive can be found here:
