Q: How ever there is still one major issue that need to be solved before we open to site to the public and occurs when the form used by the 2020 Datashed application to search an item (page listing.asp) is used together with the Delux dropdown menu.
When the Delux dropdown menu display their data, it is possible to 'see' the information of the 2020 search form through it. The over all effect is some kind of transparency in the page that is not acceptable.
In the attached snapshot is an image of the web page that shows the effect that we want to avoid.
This effect only happens on the head area of the 2020 search form that I have marked with a red rectangle. The main body of the form, marked in blue, does not have this transparent effect.
I wonder if it is possible eliminate the transparency in javascript menu systems changing the adequate css file that is used in the red area, using the same css code that is applied in the blue area.
My solicitude for help is about this issue, could you advice about this matter and pinpoint the css file and instruction than can make this change, or there is another way to make the same result?
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var transparency="100";
Q: I have installed all .js files in a subfolder under my html folder. \html\menudir\ all js files are here
My html file is in html folder.
Inserted in HEAD section in HTML file
<!-- Deluxe Menu -->
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">simple javascript menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<!-- (c) 2006, http://deluxe-menu.com -->
Later in BODY, used your sample popup javascript data-popup-mode.js file
<script type="text/javascript"
src="menudir/data-popup-mode.js"></script>
<img src="../images/lov.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(1, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;"> When I view the page with simple javascript menu and click on the image, I get an error.
What am I doing wrong?
A: If you have only one menu on the page you should write popup functionin the following way:
return dm_popup(0, 2000, event);
Q: Deluxe menu v. 2 (the most recent version) -- I've triedeverything but cannot get the separator images (vertical orhorizontal) to appear. My other images appear fine, and I know theimages are where I've called them. I've tried root relative anddocument relative paths, and even set the advanced image prefixvariable, but they never appear. Can you spot what's wrong?
A related question: what I'm trying to do is to simply have a 1pxseparator between my main items (vertical) and between my sub-items(horizontal). Short of building a css mode menu, is this possibleusing your script -- if I set border=1 without any spacing, then thetwo borders between adjoining items come together and I get whatappears to be a 2px border separator. Is it possible to set margin-right=1, margin-bottom=1? This doesn't seem possible through thetuner: it appears to be border on all four sides or nothing.
A: You should see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorImage=""; //--- file exists in this location
var separatorWidth="5";
var separatorHeight="100%";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="/assets/images/public/separator.gif";
var separatorVWidth="3";
var separatorVHeight="100%";
var separatorPadding="";
You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Q: I am wanting to load menu items from a sql database but I cannot understand how to do it using the example you provided.
I am using asp but do not know how to incorporate it into the above javascript. Would it be possible for you to provide me with an example please? I tried using <% …… %> but this did not work.
A: Unfortunately we don't have example with ASP.
The example of the menu working with PHP/MYSQL you can find here:
