Q: Under Opera everything works fine but under IE the submenu’s are way down the page and go off the bottom of the screen.
A: See, the problem is that the script can't get css properties of the object if they are described in separate .css block (or file).
In other words, you can't get the value of "position" attribute of the object if the object doesn't have this property within inline style(style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px;"). To get the value you should move .css style into style="" attribute.
Please, try to add your
css file -> inline css, for example:
You should add style="PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px;"
to the
<DIV class=department-menu>
So, you'll have:
<DIV class=department-menu style="POSITION: absolute;PADDING-BOTTOM: 10px;">
Q: The problem is now that I have a scroll bar in the main menus although there is nothing to scroll.
Do you have any ideas?
A: You've set the exact width and height for submenus.
var smWidth = "100";
var smHeight = "250px";
var menuStyles = [
["smWidth=220px","smHeight=250px"],
["smWidth=200px","smHeight=250px"],
["smWidth=120px","smHeight=250px"],
];
Try to write:
var smWidth = "";
var smHeight = "";
var menuStyles = [
[""],
[""],
[""],
];
There will be no scroll bar in the main menus.
Q: Could you please explain how to increase the height of our javascript menu submenu links to 18 or 20 px each?
A: You can create Individual submenu style and assign it to the firstitem in each submenu.
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBorderWidth=1","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=0px 5px 0px 5px"],
["itemPadding=5px 2px 5px 2px"],
];
var menuItems = [
["Advanced Taser Guns","http://www.defenseproducts101.com/tasers.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Advanced Taser Guns","http://www.defenseproducts101.com/tasers.html", "", "", "", "", "", "1", "", "", "", ], //assign style
Q: I cannot see the arrow.gif's in my rollover drop down menu.
Here is my code:
var arrowImageMain=["menudir/arrow_main3.gif","menudir/arrow_main3.gif"];
var arrowWidthSub=0;
var arrowHeightSub=0;
var arrowImageSub=["menudir/arrow_sub5.gif","menudir/arrow_sub4.gif"];
Do I need to put the arrow's somewhere else?
A: You should check the following parameter:
var pathPrefix_img="data-samples/images/";
Please check that you have the correct path to your aroows relative to the folder withindex.html file.
For example, you have:
menudir/
menu.js
dmenu.js
arrow_main3.gif
...
index.html
In menu.js file you should write:
var pathPrefix_img="menudir/";
var arrowImageMain=["arrow_main3.gif","arrow_main3.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["arrow_sub5.gif","arrow_sub4.gif"];
or
var pathPrefix_img="";
var arrowImageMain=["menudir/arrow_main3.gif","menudir/arrow_main3.gif"];
var arrowImageSub=["menudir/arrow_sub5.gif","menudir/arrow_sub4.gif"];
