Q:

I would like first to thank you for your button start menu. I downloaded the trial script and it’s ok except
for Hebrew or Right To Left languages.

Do you have a solution for this issue ??

A:

You can use right-to-left languages the same way as in standard html
code. Set “dir=rtl” for <html> tag. Try that.

I need to be able to execute some javascript when I click on a dhtml meny

Q:

Hi there. I am evaluating your tabs before I purchase and I ran
into a small problem. If I can get this resolved I am ready to
purchase.
I need to be able to execute some javascript when I click on a
tab. What I am planning on doing is I want to dynamically set the
location.href property of an iFrame located inside of a content div.
I can’t figure out how to do it. Any help will go a long way for me
to decide to purchase.
Thanks!

A:

You can use your own javascript functions in the dhtml meny items.

You should paste “javascript:some_function()” into item’s link field, for example:

["tab text","javascript: window.open('test.html', 'frameName')", ...],
or
["tab text","javascript: getURLForFrame()", ...],

Try that.

We see an empty image in the left corner of the javascript menu example.

Q:

Only problem left is that we see an empty image in the left corner of the
javascript menu example.

I can’t find how to remove this image. Do you know where this comes from?

A:

You should delete the following string from your menuItems

["","", , , , , "0", ],

Try that.

Still having trouble with placing the menu on a fixed position on firefox. So far its only at my testpage. The css dropdown menus itself moves down if you scroll down.

Q:

Still having trouble with placing the css dropdown menus on a fixed position on
firefox. So far its only at my testpage. The
“Trial Version”-Button however stays at the correct place while
the css dropdown menus itself moves down if you scroll down… I hope that is
fixed in the full version??

A:

Now you’re using floating feature for the css dropdown menus:

//— Floatable Menu
var floatable=1;
var floatIterations=3;
var floatableX=1;
var floatableY=1;
var floatableDX=15;
var floatableDY=15;

If you don’t want to use it you should set:
var floatable=0;

Is there a way to increase the time the hint of javascript menu horizontal stays on the screen?

No this is standard hint, there is no way to increase the time it stays
on the screen.

I’ve never been able to insert a vertical divider in dhtml menu bar

Filed under: Recent Posts — Tags: , , , — admin @ November 17, 2009 at 2:50 pm

Q:

I’ve been using your
application for about 2 years but have never been able to insert a vertical
divider in dhtml menu bar.

A:

You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:

var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],

];
Please, see the following parameters:

//— Separators
var separatorImage=”"; //for subitems
var separatorWidth=”100%”;
var separatorHeight=”3px”;
var separatorAlignment=”right”;
var separatorVImage=”images/public/separator.gif”; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth=”100%”;
var separatorVHeight=”2px”;
var separatorPadding=”";

I would like the menu drop down javascript block to move down

Filed under: Recent Posts — Tags: — admin @ November 17, 2009 at 11:35 am

Q:

I have seen a certain menu effect on a few websites and have so
far been unable to reproduce it in simply HTML/CSS. Today I saw the
effect on a website, looked at the source code and it appears they
are using some of your code.

I have a fairly typical screen layout with a menu drop down javascript on the left
hand 10% of the screen and the main screen content on the right 90%.
Some of my screens get very long, so that when you scroll all the
way down to the bottom, the menu is left way up off screen. I would
like the menu block to move down so that it is always a certain
number of pixels below the top of the viewed screen, not the
absolute top of the page. Is this something your software does? If
so, which one of your products?

A:

You can create such menu with Deluxe Menu.
You should use floatable menu, so you can always see the menu.
But to use the floatable feature
var floatable=1;
you should use the absolute position for the menu
var absolutePos=1;
var posX=”10″;
var posY=”10″;

Please, try the trial version of the menu drop down javascript.

Where I should add this search engine code for submenu javascript?

Filed under: Recent Posts — Tags: , , , , — admin @ November 17, 2009 at 8:15 am

Q:

Doesn’t this mean that I have to add this search engine code to all of my
sites pages?  If so this could be tedious when adding additional
pages to a large site.Is this something I can adjust …or make submenus were you can’t see through them?

A:

Unfortunately it is really so. You should paste search engine code on
the each page with the submenu javascript.

If you don’t want to create your menu (and add search engine friendly
code) on each page, you can try to use frames, the submenu javascript has a cross-frame mode. Also you can use a
server-side script (php, asp, vb, etc.) to generate html pages from
templates on your server.

For some reason all of the dynamic menu using items are squished together

Filed under: Recent Posts — Tags: , , , , — admin @ November 17, 2009 at 4:55 am

Q:

For some reason all of the dynamic menu using items are squished together
when I put the js code in my page. Is my site’s CSS overriding the
ones set in the menu css? If so how do I get around this?

A:

See, the problem is that the script can’t get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
To get the value you should move .css style into style=”" attribute.

Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css

How can your dynamic navigation menu be set to open by click?

Filed under: Recent Posts — Tags: , , — admin @ November 17, 2009 at 1:30 am

Q:

Can the Deluxe Menus be set to open by click and stay open when clicked for some time?

A:

You can open Deluxe Menu on click. Set this parameter:
var showByClick = 0; &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbspShow submenus on a mouse click only.
0 - disabled (default),&nbsp&nbsp 1 - enabled.

You can use such parameter in you dynamic navigation menu:
var transDuration = 300;&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp- Delay of a transitional effect (in ms) on submenu’s showing.
