GUI menus and touch devices

[dnar]

Ever since I started using a Samsung tablet running Android, the menus have been an issue for me. I note a bug has been raised for this issue as it affects iPad users also, in fact any touch interface.

The work around is to press and hold a top level menu until the browser asks if you want to open in a new tab or new window, then you touch anywere else on the screen to close the browser popup, leaving the NAS4Free drop down menu visible. Its clunky.

Personally I don't like the menus opening as the mouse (PC) moves over the menus, I would prefer to click to open them. This would also fix the issue on tablets.

I also dont like the current click handlers that open the main status page on all tabs.

Will this be adressed soon?

hi,
onmouse and onclick now has two different functions, so If u want to change to onclick, you loose the existsng click function. But to do so change usr/local/www/fbegin.inc (line 198):

Code: Select all

/*	echo "	<a href=\"{$link}\" onmouseover=\"mopen('{$menuid}')\" onmouseout=\"mclosetime()\">".htmlspecialchars($menu[$menuid]['desc'])."</a>\n"; */
	echo "	<a href=\"javascript:mopen('{$menuid}');\" onmouseout=\"mclosetime()\">".htmlspecialchars($menu[$menuid]['desc'])."</a>\n";
