Q: I have managed to insert a separator in a menu and set the image path but the separator image does not show.
Is there anything else I need to do?
A: Please, see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
//--- Separators
var separatorImage="";
var separatorWidth="5";
var separatorHeight="100%";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="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", , , , , , , , ],
];
Try that.
Q: I have 2 questions about this script I would like to find out before purchasing:
1. Does it support 3rd and 4th level java script navigation menu?
2. How customizable is it style-wise, meaning, I have images I want used for the top level navigation, and background images for the rest. Any way I can achieve this?
A: 1) Yes, you can add as many levels in the java script navigation menu as you want.
2) Actually you can create any java script navigation menu with Deluxe Menu. You can use Individual Styles tocreate your menu. For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemHeight=21px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px Tahoma", "fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=transparent","menuBackImage=back.gif","menuBorderWidth=0", "itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=0px 5px 0px 5px"],
];
Please, try the trial version and check menu parameters. Use DeluxeTuner to create your menu.
Q: How does an item on the dhtml navigation menus connect to pages?
Does it take the page's name automatically?
If I add a page, will the menu item show the new page?
If I remove a page, will the menu remove the item?
A: > how does an item on the menu connect to pages?
You should create menu items in the Deluxe Tuner and specify link and target for each item, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Upcoming Trainings","http://domain.org/pub/upcoming-trainings", "", "", "", "_self", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Conferences & Workshops","upcoming-workshops.html", "", "", "", "_blank", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Continuing Ed","ceu.html", "", "", "", "main", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];
> does it take the page's name automatically?
> if I add a page, will the menu item show the new page?
> If I remove a page, will the menu remove the item?
No, you should do it manually in Deluxe Tuner (or any text editor).
Q: I never had trouble with your other scripts but Deluxe Tuner is very difficult and I am about to give it up.
I am trying to set up a new navigation bar using vista 3-1. If I add another Vista drop down menu buttons, they have a completely different look to the ones with the templates. It makes no sense.
How do I add items and have it remain the same look?.
A: See, in Vista style templates we use Individual Item Styles for thetop items.
For, example select the first item on the main window.
In the "Item Parameters" window you can see Individual Styles assignedfor this item:
Item Style - Top Item
Submenu Style - Top Menu
When you add the new item you should assign Individual Styles for itin the same way.
That is all.
