Q: Thank you for the information and especially for your good explaination of the ways DHTML and Java work with menus. I want to get a menu because I was asked to base a new web site on one that used 'showpage.asp' calls to createtheir menus. Can you throw some light on how I would go about doing that?


A: Deluxe Menu and Java Menus work on aclient side only and they don't depend on the server which you'reusing and they don't work on a server side as ASP.NET script.So, you can create the menu using standard html page and them movemenu code within .asp page.

Please, try the trial version of the menu. You can use GUI to createyour menu. You can find it in the trial package.


Q: I am trying to have the selected top item in the pop up menu remain on the mouseover event after it is selected.
It seemed to be working fine when i was just testing with # as a link
but when i actually linked to different pages it returns to normal.
How do i get this to work?

A: You can find more info here:
http://www.deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.html

Deluxe Menu has only two states normal and mouseover.

Try to do the following things:

- delete   var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:

<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">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>
<script type="text/javascript">  var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>

You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:

function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)

Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.

But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.



Q: Is there anyway to embed particular fonts that I want to use with the javascript menu component?

A: See, for example you want to use HelveticaNeue Condensed font.
If there will be no HelveticaNeue Condensed font on the user machinethe font won't be shown correctly.
You can find another font similar to your font and write it through a comma.

You should choose the font among the following fonts:
Arial
Tahoma
Times New Roman
Trebuchet MS
Verdana
These fonts are installed on the most of windows computers.

Or you can create images with text and use it for the top items.



Q: I am totally confused by this now but I have 2 data files - one for a menu bar going horizontal and one going vertical both containing the same information. But even though the content is the same, the layout is different.

You will see that on the horizontal menu,

Fleet
Financce
CPC Cards
Cashire

These are listed correctly under each other but on the vertical one, the layout differs.


A: You should write your parameters more carefully.
See, now you have

menuItems = [
["About us","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,0 , , , ],
   ["|||Organisation Chart","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,1, , , ],

First you have the 1-st level of menu items then at once 4-th. It isnot right. You should write the number of your Individual Style in ""also.

See, how you should write your menuItems:

menuItems = [
["About us","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"" ,"0" , , , ],
 ["|Organisation Chart","javascript:alert('Coming Soon')", , , ,"","1", , , ],
 ["|Who's Who?","/k6intranet2.nsf/PageTitleLookup/Who's Who?OpenDocument", , , ,"" ,"1", , , ],
