Q: I can't get the popup menu sample (rightclick) to work in Opera. Does Deluxe-menu support opera for right-clicking?
Does Deluxe-menu have a gwt wrapper so we can use deluxe-menu as part of a GWT application?
A: Unfortunately, Opera doesn't support onContextMenu event.
More info you can find, for example, here:
http://lab.artlung.com/oncontextmenu/
Deluxe Menu wasn't developed as Google Web Toolkit extension,BUT you can use it as standard Javascript files.
To create and configure your menus use Deluxe Tuner application(included into the trial package):
http://deluxe-menu.com/deluxe-tuner-info.html
Please, try the trial version.
Q: I cannot find the parameter in menu example file "data.js" for umlaute a, u. I want it to set manually.
A: You can save your data file in UTF-8 in Windows version of DeluxeTuner v3.5.
You should turn on "Tools/Use utf8 encode" property.
In that case your data file will be saved in UTF-8 encode.
Enter these symbols and save your data file.
If you don't want to use UTF-8 encode on your page you should turn off
"Tools/Use utf8 encode" property, save your data file and manually
change your letters in any text editor.
You can also replace your letters with special sets, for example
ä - Small a, acute accent - a
ü - Small c, cedilla - u
var menuItems = [
["ä....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["ü....","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I have small problems with your javascript menu system.
#1. I am creating a multi-level menu, am I limited to a gird format or can every item have a variable column width?
#2. With submenus, I want to have the submenu be the same width as the parent cell, is there a simple command for this, or do I have to guess the column widths until it fits correctly?
#3. In those same submenus, I have items that are longer than the parent, is there a word wrap or a way to define a break, rather than having the scroll feature?
A: 1) You should use Individual Item Styles.
For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#ACF88B,#ACF88B","itemBorderColor=#329309,#329309"], //style0
["itemWidth=100","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBorderColor=#1B92E9,#1B92E9"], //style1
["itemWidth=130","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#FF9684,#FF9684","itemBorderColor=#EC7575,#EC7575"], //style2
["itemWidth=150","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBackColor=#84F9FF,#84F9FF","itemBorderColor=#00B8C1,#00B8C1"], //style3
];
var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=2"], //style0
];
["Home","testlink.htm"],
["Samples","testlink.htm"],
["|Group 1","", , , , , "0", , , ],
["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],
["|Group 3","", , , , , "2", , , ],
...
[" More Samples","testlink.htm"],
["|Group 1","", , , , , "3", "0", , ],
["|Group 2","", , , , , "1", , , ],
Where "0", "1", "2", "3" - style number in itemStyles.
2) You can also use Individual Item Styles.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=120px"],
];
var menuStyles = [
["smWidth=120px"],
];
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], // itemStyles
["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , "0", , ],
["|Installation","", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , , , , , ], // menuStyles
3) Try to set this parameter:
var noWrap=0;
Q: It works great in IE, but doesn't work in Firefox.
A: Please, try to specify units in "px".
For example:
var itemPadding = "3px";
Try that.
