Q: It looks as though I should be able to have an icon before each item in the sub-menu in javascript tabs, but I don't seem to be able to get thisto work.
Could you please tell me how to fix this?
A: You can use icons before each item in the sub-menu.
You should use the following parameters:
- set icon in the "Item Parameters" window.
- set the width and height of this icon
var biconWidth=7;
var biconHeight=7;
var biconAlign="left";
- set, for example
var bbeforeItemSpace=15;
var bsmItemAlign="left";
Q: I have one final question:-
If you go to http://domain.com/mainboard.asp
And click the tools icon.
My application has 3 types of settings.
Click the line icon (which highlights) then you can use the line tool Then click the thickness icon (which only changes the thickness of the line) And then click the colour icon (which only changes the colour of the line)
Unfortunately, when another icon is selected it resets the original icon.
Is there a way to show one of the top 8 function icons highlighted as well as the selected thickness icon and palette icon all in a selected state together?
A: function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
Changes parameters and an appearance of the item.
menuInd - index of a dropdown javascript menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0. See more info about indexes here.
iParams = [array] - the array of item parameters. This parameter has the same structure as an item in menuItems array. You can assign parameters of another existent item of themenu or create new ones.
Structure of iParams:
[item_text, link, icon_normal, icon_over, tip, target, individual_style_index, jsFilename]
You should change icon_normal, icon_over parameters for the items.
http://deluxe-menu.com/functions-info.htmlQ: Our company has been using the trial version of Deluxe Menu and was satisfied enough with initial integration efforts to acquire the license version.
We are interested in making our main dhtml rollover menu items a constant width, but the data.js parameters ( var menuWidth="800px"; var menuHeight="30px"; var smWidth=""; var smHeight="";) don't seem to give us that capability. We dynamically remove main menu items based on user roles and when we do the main menu always re-sizes and the remaining main menu item widths no longer match our sub-menu widths. We're able to adjust for this by using the API but that seems to be a lot of unnecessary coding. If we could keep each main menu item a fixed width, our sub-menu widths would not have to change.
Do you have information on how to accomplish fixed main menu item widths, even better would be an example?
A: Actually you can specify the width and of all or individual dhtml rollover menu items or submenus usingIndividual Item/Submenu styles.Q: What I try to make is a menu dhtml with items having a border of only 1 px, also between the menu items. However it seems that Deluxe menu draws a 1 px line around every menu item giving an effective border line of 2 px between the area where the items touch each other. I want to have 1 px border also on the areas where the items touch each other.
Any suggestion how to fix this?
A: If you want to have the 1px border between the items only you canuse separators.
Please, see the following parameters:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
var separatorWidth="5";
var separatorHeight="100%";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth="1";
var separatorVHeight="100%";
var separatorPadding="";
You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
