Q: Would it be possible to introduce more font decoration options to the mouseover variables for the horizontal navigation?I would like to add bold as a mouseover font decoration, but obviously this is not possible at the moment.
A: Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature.
You can onlyset it's color. You cannot set the font of menu item bold when selected.
You should addthe following code in your data file:
function changeFont(obj, over)
{
obj.style.fontWeight = over ? 'bold' : 'normal';
obj.style.fontSize = over ? '13px' : '12px'; // You can not use this line
}
var menuItems = [
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Security</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["<div onMouseOver='changeFont(this, 1)' onMouseOut='changeFont(this, 0)'>Ease of Access</div>","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

Q: How do I disable the menu link for the page that is currently being displayed? I don’t the menu item removed, I just want the link to be inactive and possibly a different color.
A: To disable items you should set the target parameter to "_".
Unfortunately, Deluxe Menu doesn't have such a feature.
You should write your own code, for example, on PHP.
You can try to use the following function
function disable() {
dm_ext_changeItem(1, 1, 1, ["", "", "", "", "", "_"]);
}
to disable your items.
The example you can find on our site

Q: I'm trying out Deluxe Menu with my site, but I've hit a snag with alignment. My menu bar is located at the top of my page, in a 750px-wide div. I'd like to nest the nav menu in that div, but right-align it so the menus are stuck to the right side of the div. Is that possible with your menu system? If so, can you give an example of how I would accomplish it?
A: You can paste your menu in DIV with right alignment.
<div align="right">
<script type="text/javascript" src="data-deluxe-menu.js"></script>
</div>
Q: I'm trying to disable a javascript mouse over menu item using the MS Office style 2 template and having no luck. Can you please provide me a sample of the MS Office style 2 template that will disable an item on the menu by graying it out?
A: To disable menu item you should set "_" target for it.
If you want that your disabled items have a grey color (in css-basedmenu) you should create additional style for it and assign this stylefor the disabled items:
["CSSText=toptext_dis,toptext_dis"],
.toptext_dis
{
font: normal 11px Tahoma, Arial;
color: #AAAAAA;
padding: 3px;
}
["|What's New","", "images/icon_office_note.gif", "images/icon_office_note2.gif", ,"_","1", , , ],
["||Popup Mode (Contextual Menus)","", "images/icon_office_mark.gif", "images/icon_office_mark.gif", ,"_","1", , , ],
