];
Q: I'm trying to implement your javascript menu source on a clients' web site.
If you go to my website you'll see my problem. I can't get javascript menu source to centre in the table I want it to - which is just below the header flash in between the two yellow lines.
Could you let me know what to do - then I can show it to my client and order it!
A: Now you're using absolute position for javascript menu source:
var absolutePos=1;
You should use relative position:
var absolutePos=0;
Q: Your service is excellent and I am making progress learning the program. I was able to resolve the transparency issue thanks to your help but, but now I have another one that is stumping me.
I can get the dhtml javascript menu script to show up in my html document and it works as I hoped it would. However, no matter where I put the line of code in my html file, the dhtml javascript menu script always shows up at the very top of the page. The instructions indicate the following:
Copy the following code into clipboard and paste it into the place you want to have the dhtml javascript menu script:
<script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>
For example, into a table cell:
<table>
<td><script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script></td>
</table>
No matter where I put the code: <script type="text/javascript" src="newmenu2.js"></script>, the menu shows up at the top of the page.
What am I missing?
A: Check that you're using relative position for the dhtml javascript menu script:
var absolutePos=0; var posX="0px"; var posY="0px";
Q: Both arrow types are visible when my intranet first loads and when I select a top item that is a direct link to a page.
But, as soon as I select any item from a list of sub items that includes subitems with arrows,
the arrow images disappear from vertical menu until I refresh the site.
A: You can use additional parameters to make menu paths absolute:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
These parameters allow to make images and links paths absolute.
For example:
var pathPrefix_img = "http://domain.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link = "http://domain.com/pages/";
var menuItems = [
["text", "index.html", "icon1.gif", "icon2.gif"],
];
So, link path will be look so:
http://domain.com/pages/index.html
Images paths will be look so:
http://domain.com/images/icon1.gif
http://domain.com/images/icon2.gif
Please, try to use these parameters.
