Q: Is it possible to change from a default target setting for all links to _self target for onsite links and _blank target for offsite links?
A: You can set target parameter for each item.
See menuItems parameter:
var menuItems =
[
["Home","testlink.html","icon.gif","iconover.gif","Home Tip",target,"1"],
["|Our Products","testlink.html","icon1.gif","icon2.gif","Our Products Tip","_blank",,"0"],
];
Q: I looked through your FAQ's to solve my problem of trying to make the background of the top dhtml slide menu transparent. I set the itemBackColor to transparent and also menuBackColor to transparent. Do I have to changeanother setting to activate this? Right now it is currently white and I can't even find a spot that would make it white, unless it's just white by default.
A: Check that you haven't set background color in the Individual Styles.Q: Is there any way to call a javascript function on mouseover from a menu item for a sub navigation bar?
A: You can use your own javascript functions in the menu items.
You should paste "javascript:some_function()" into item's link field, for example:
var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_function(...)", ...]
];
var menuItems = [
["item text", "javascript:alert('Hello World')", , , , ,]
];
Unfortunately, you can't assign onmouseover/onClick event to each item. However, you can achieve this by using standard html objects within items, for example:
var menuitems = [
["item text
", "index.html"]
];
Q: The only remaining problem I see is that the dhtml popup menu appears in slightly
different positions depending upon where your mouse touches the icon.
Is there a way to make the menu position absolute in respect to the icon?
I have tried playing with the menu item parameters that seemed related with no success.
A: See dm_popup() function parameters:
return dm_popup(menuInd, pause, event, x, y)
menuInd - index of the menu on a page, >= 0.
pause - determines the time when the menu will be hidden.
event - constant. Do not change.
x, y - optional. Set these parameters if you want the menu to appear in the specified place.
In other case the menu will be shown in the mouse position.
