Q: We purchased your deluxe menu two months ago. Right now, I try to resize the menu icon to fit our website. I changed MenuHeight, I got duplicate menu icons. I also want to change Menu Icon font, but I couldn't do it. We have your previous version menu system, As soon as we change bigger font for Menu Icon, it will be resize. I really think you sould have this function. Otherwise, I got create my own image.
A: See images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x21).
If you want to change items' width/height you should change images.
btn_magentablack.gif
btn_magenta.gif
You can do it in any graph editor, for example in Adobe PhotoShop.
To change font in the top items you should change your Individual ItemStyle.
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=92px","itemBorderWidth=0","fontStyle=normal 11px
Tahoma","fontColor=#FFFFFF,#FFFFFF","itemBackImage=data-vista-03.files/btn_magentablack.gif,data-vista-03.files/btn_magenta.gif"],
];
You can do it in Deluxe Tuner.
Q: My question is how can I change the size and color of the font for the
main items in the simple dhtml menu, not the drop downs?
A: You can use Individual Item Styles in that case:
http://deluxe-menu.com/individual-item-styles-info.html
Set the style you need for subitems:
var fontStyle=["normal 11px Trebuchet MS, Tahoma","normal 11px Trebuchet MS, Tahoma"];
Set the style you need for main items:
var itemStyles = [
["fontStyle='bold 12px Arial','bold 12px Arial'"], // style 0
];
Assign this style for main items:
var menuItems = [
["Scenic album","scenic-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 9","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
> ["|Item 10","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ], ["Floral album","floral-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
["Southwest album","southwest-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
["Wildlife album","wildlife-album.htm", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //assign style 0
];
Q: Buttons are working great! Client would now like to have the rollover image stay active on the page they are on. They would like the button to stay white when you navigate to a particular page, i.e. If you click on "Press", when you get to that page, the button stays white, while all the others react in the normal manner. Is this possible?? I have seen it on other sites and it seems like it should be possible. Please let me know. I believe it could be done by creating a separate menu for each page, but that seems like a lot of work. I am sure you have a solution.
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: Just downloaded and installed the latest version, noticed it does not say beta any longer. On this version and the previous version I had installed I can not click and move the window open script around on the screen when using Firefox. When I used IE it works as expected, I can move it and it sticks in position. Is there a fix for this?
A: See we've made many changes in window open script in v3.3.
Your old pop up windows (data files) won't work with new engine file.You should recreate your popup window in Deluxe Tuner.
