Does MENU (STYLE="popup") not work through a browser via GBC?

When used, it just locks up the application and requires you to click 'close' to exit the menu that has not shown up.

Can I please ask how others are getting around this if they do not work in a browser?

To open a form with a list would be such a backward step.

I appreciate any help.

Hi Jeff,

I'd expect it to work.  It is documented as doing so. https://4js.com/online_documentation/fjs-fgl-manual-html/#fgl-topics/c_fgl_menus_004.html

There has been odd issue many years where it would popup in the wrong place https://4js.com/support/issue/?product=GBC&stat=&fixed_in=&words=popup+menu&Search=Search so I'd wonder if it was appearing off screen or is similar to some of those prior cases.

Suggest you try the example in the documentation, and raise a support call where you can provide more details.

Thanks Rubin, for reminding me to go back to the basics.

We use routines to build and execute all of our popup menus, and I had failed to spot it was trying to add in 'fixedfont' to the "popup" menu style.

I'm not sure if we once had that defined as a style in our .4st or whether that was ever a thing for MENU styles, but it is not needed and all is working.
