Q: I am conisdering purchasing your menu generator product, however I have a question that is very important to me.
How can I add a separator to the dhtml menu examples using the dynamic functions? It seems as though the only way to get a separator into the menu is by defining it before hand, but the website I'm building will require me to reload the menus dinamically, and I'm losing the ability to put separators on it.
If there's a workaround for it, or if there's a chance that you can give me a prototype function that exposes that functionality, that would be acceptable as well.
A: You should add items using the following function:
function dm_ext_addItem (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams)
or
function dm_ext_addItemPos (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams, Pos)

Set the following parameter:
var dm_writeAll=1;
So, you should write:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 4, ["|-", "", "", "", "", "", "", ])Q: We are implementing your licensed drop down menu in dhtml on our new site and it does not appear to work in Firefox.
A: Now you have:
var transparency="";
it is not correct.
You should set, for example:
var transparency="100";
Try also to set:
var itemPadding="0px 15px 0px 15px";
Q: I’m setting an after item image as follows (this code was generated by Deluxe Tuner, not by hand/text editor):
var afterItemImage=["designimgs/btn-ico.gif","designimgs/btn-ico-active.gif"];
var afterItemImageW=8;
var afterItemImageH=7;
As you can see, the after item image is not appearing in my access drop down menu – do you have any idea why that would be/how to fix?
A: You should create Individual style and assign it for the top access drop down menu items:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackImage=designimgs/blank.gif,designimgs/blank.gif", "beforeItemImage=designimgs/blank.gif,designimgs/blank.gif", "afterItemImage=designimgs/btn-ico.gif,designimgs/btn-ico-active.gif", "beforeItemImageW=1","afterItemImageW=8", "beforeItemImageH=1","afterItemImageH=7","itemBorderWidth=0"],
];
Q: You have been great help, but this will not work for me. All I want is the dropdown menu javascript I have attached to have these colors on the seperate top items. I just cannot make the software work . As soon as I get this done I promise to leave you alone

var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#0000ff,#0000ff","showByClick=0"], //style 0
["itemBackColor=#FF00FF,#FF00FF","showByClick=0"], //style 1
["itemBackColor=#00ffff,#00ffff","showByClick=0"], //style 2
["itemBackColor=#00ff00,#00ff00","showByClick=0"], //style 3
["itemBackColor=#FFFF00,#FFFF00","showByClick=0"], //style 4
["itemBackColor=#FF0000,#FF0000","showByClick=0"], //style 5
];
["Find out Who we are","http://www.humanscience.org/", "", "", "", "", "0", "0", "", "", "", ], //style 0
["Apply For Fellowship","http://www.humanscience.org/infoSnippets.cfm", "", "", "", "_blank", "1", "", "", "", "", ], //style 1
["Fellows Corner","", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", "", "", ], //style 2

["Engage in a discussion","", "", "", "", "", "4", "", "", "", "", ], //style 4
["Read The Bulletin","", "", "", "", "", "5", "", "", "", "", ], //style 5
You can also set
var itemSpacing=0;
to delete spacing around the dropdown menu javascript.
