Q: I am currently having a look at the use of your drop down menu and was wondering if there was an option to make all of the top menu links the same size?
At current It looks like it is on a percentage increase related to the amount of text, can I change this to a fixed value no matter the text amount?
A: You can use Individual Item Style.
Use that parameter:
var itemWidth=100px
Width of an item (px, % or other units).
For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=150"], // style 0
];
var menuItems = [
["Home", "index.html", "myicon1.gif", "myicon2.gif", "Home Page Tip", "_self", "0"], // assign style 0
["About", "about.html", "myicon3.gif", "myicon4.gif", "About Us Tip", "_self", "0"], // assign style 0
];
Q: I really like how this works and I think it will wind up working for us, but I have a question. On the xp style dynamic tree menu, is there a way when you click one of the 'headers' that will open up other choices for example on your http://www.deluxe-tree.com/data-samples/tree-menuxp3.html tree. When youclick either the deluxe tree:xp style or the samples gallery or the samples gallery2 section, can you make it so it opens a page in another frame? The way it is now you it wont open a page until you click on the 'samples block 1' or below.
A: Actually you cannot use links for the top items in the XP Style.
But theoretically you can use links for the top items. You can write
["<a href='index.html' class='home' target="frame">Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
["<a href='http://www.domain.uk' class='home' target="frame">About Us</a>","", "", "", "", "", "", "0", "", ],
["|Introduction","http://www.domain.uk/introduction.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
Q: Also, when viewing the webpage with the dhtml list menu, my browser tells me that it is blocking scripts and ActiveX applications. I have to override it. Is there a way to prevent this so my customers don't get this message, or will it go away when I post it to my domain?
A: You should adjust your browser settings.
Tools/Internet Options/Advanced Options/
and set
"Allow active content from files to run on My Computer".
There is no way to enable these preferences automatically, in othercase there are no reasons to create security preferences.
