Adding items to a menu that don't show up.
Q. I added a couple of entries to a menu and now the contents of the menu don't appear when I click on it. I looked at the source code, but I just can't see what's wrong. A. Sometimes when you add items to a menu (or any other object tree) you forget to change all the links. Here's a rough example: @object class object1 = { GI_comp = @object2, @object3; } @object class object2 = { } @object class object3 = { } Now say I want to add an object4 and group it with object3: @object class object1 = { GI_comp = @object2, @object3; } @object class object2 = { } @object class objectgroup = { GI_comp = @object3, @object4; } @object class object3 = { } @object class object4 = { } Now I'm sure you can see something was forgotten, as this is a simple example. I forgot to change the GI_comp field in object1, so it's pointing to the wrong object. It should be like this: @object class object1 = { GI_comp = @object2, @objectgroup; } In a more complex object tree, spotting this error is difficult.
