Q: Pls help me with another question.
I have an horizontal menu in which the submenus drop down (as in example # 1 you have in your web).
For the first level items (which are horizontal), I do not want item spacing or itemPadding, that is:
var itemSpacing=0;
var itemPadding=0;
However, for the second and third level menu items, that drop down, I do need spacing and padding, like this:
var itemSpacing=1;
var itemPadding=1;
How can achieve this if, we have only one set of parameters??
Thank you very much and best regards
A: You should use Individual Styles.
You should set the following parameters:
var itemSpacing = 0;
var itemPadding = 0;
and create individual style for submenus
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackImage=images/subm_back.gif","itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=1"], // add Spacing and Padding to the style which is used for the third level menu items.
["columnPerSubmenu=2"],
["itemSpacing=1","itemPadding=1"], //style 2
];
You should assign this style for the second and third level menu items
["DHTML Menus","", "images/icon1.gif", "images/icon1o.gif", , , , , , , , ],
["|The Deluxe Menu","http://deluxe-menu.com",
"images/icon2.gif", "images/icon2o.gif", , , , "2", , , , ], // assign Style 2
["||Features","", "images/icon3.gif", , , , "0", "0", , , , ], // assign Style 0
["|||First Column","", , , , , "0", "1", , , , ],

Q: Thnx, it works now, just one more question :-)
I use frames on my website, the target frame name is main.
But when i put main as target in the simple javascript drop down menu, it loads as a new windows, do you know what i'm doing wrong?
A: You can set target parameter for all items:
var itemTarget="main";
Where main - is the name of the frame where you want to open the link.
or for each item individually:
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "main", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: I have a problem. How can we get the value of a parameter passed by the menu, when a menu item is clicked? For example I want to get the URL or file name to be open by the menu item when it is clicked.
I am talking about TREE menu.
A: If you want to open url or a file when you click on items of the tree menu you can write, for example:
var tmenuItems = [
["+DHTML Menus","http://dhtml-menu.com", "images/xpicon1.gif", , , "DHTML Menus", , "0", , , , ],
["|Save as...", "javascript:OpenFile('file_name')"]
];
Q: I have one final question:-
If you go to http://domain.com/mainboard.asp
And click the tools icon.
My application has 3 types of settings.
Click the line icon (which highlights) then you can use the line tool Then click the thickness icon (which only changes the thickness of the line) And then click the colour icon (which only changes the colour of the line)
Unfortunately, when another icon is selected it resets the original icon.
Is there a way to show one of the top 8 function icons highlighted as well as the selected thickness icon and palette icon all in a selected state together?
A: function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
Changes parameters and an appearance of the item.
menuInd - index of a dropdown javascript menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0. See more info about indexes here.
iParams = [array] - the array of item parameters. This parameter has the same structure as an item in menuItems array. You can assign parameters of another existent item of themenu or create new ones.
Structure of iParams:
[item_text, link, icon_normal, icon_over, tip, target, individual_style_index, jsFilename]
You should change icon_normal, icon_over parameters for the items.
