Hi Hamilton,

I'd like to generate a yui menu with the ajaxhelper proc ah::yui::menu_from_list and so far I have:

installed ajaxhelper from HEAD
changed blnk-master.tcl and blank-master.adp following the instructions in the docs

created a testyui.tcl :

set menu_list [list [list "Yahoo" "http://www.yahoo.it";] [list "Google" "http://www.google.it";] [list "Vestasoft" "http://www.vestasoft.com";]]ah::yui::menu_from_list \
    -varname mymenu \
    -id actions \
    -menulist $menu_list \
    -arrayname yuimenu
set script_show   $yuimenu(show)
set script_render $yuimenu(render)

but now I'm stuck because I don't know how to proceed with the adp part. I tried to load the rendering script declaring it within the header_stuff property, and actually it is loaded but I get a JS error telling

Error: missing : after property id

Could you kindly provide a working example?

There are tests that demonstrate how to use it in ajaxhelper/www/tests.

In particular, take a look at test_yahoomenu-js.

If ajaxhelper is mounted under /ajax, which it should be by default. Go to http://youropenacsinstant/ajax/tests/test_yahoomenu-js

Thank You Hamilton,

I missed the tests directory!
