Q: How woud I make all the sub-menu’s height and text smaller in the css dhtml menu?
A: You can create Individual Item Style and assign it to each item insubmenu.
For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemHeight=10px","fontStyle=normal 9px Trebuchet MS, Tahoma"],
];
and assign it to each item in submenu:
["|Item 7","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
you can also use standard <br> tags.
["|Home text<br>text","testlink.htm", "default.files/icon1_s.gif", "default.files/icon1_so.gif", "", "Home Page Tip", "", "", "", ],

The first time any of the tabs are clicked on in the dhtml tab menu, I get a little bit of white space and a faint vertical line just to the left of tab 1.
A: Try to set your tabs in the following way:
var bmenuItems = [
["TRACING SYSTEM","link:tracing.html", "", "", "", "AUTOMATED TRACING SYSTEM", "", "", "", ],
["DOCUMENT RETRIEVAL","link:docret.html", "", "", "", "DOCUMENT RETRIEVAL SYSTEM", "", "", "", ],
["ON SPOT BY BOOKING NUMBER","link:onspot.html", "", "", "", "ON SPOT BY BOOKING NUMBER", "", "", "", ],
["CUSTOMER PORTALS","link:portals.html", "", "", "", "CUSTOMER PORTALS", "", "", "", ],
["EDI","link:edi.html", "", "", "", "ELECTRONIC DATA INTERCHANGE", "", "", "", ],
["GPS TRACKING","link:gps.html", "", "", "", "GPS TRACKING", "", "", "", ],
["WMS","link:wms.html", "", "", "", "WAREHOUSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM", "", "", "", ],
];
You should also set
var bselectedItem=0;
to select your first item by default in that case.
Q: So, I am still interested if there is a dynamic way to rebuild (and restructure) a menu w javascript, just for interest.
A: No, unfortunately it is not possible to rebuild the menu withoutreloading of the page now. We'll add this feature in the next versionof the menu.
Q: We purchased your software and would like a way to give our users the ability to right click (or equivalent) and open a link in to a new window.
Is there a way to do this? If not, do you have a work around that people have found helpful.
As an example, I have a menu item that goes to http://www.google.com. Typically, it loads this in to one of our frames. However, I would like the end user to have the ability to either load it in to one of our existing frames or to load it in its own window.
A: You can try to write the following code for your items:
["<a href='index.html' target='_blank' class='home'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
And create styles
.home{
color: #FFFFFF;}
.home:hover{
color: #FFBEBE;}
