Q: I'm trying created an independent menu from my html pages.
I have several pages stored in directories and subdirectories,
I would like to call theses pages from a single dhtml menu script.
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.
Q: I've been playing with this product and it does exactly what I need so far!.
My problem question is this:-
The menu I have created shows a several icons that activate cgi code on the web server. What I want to know is can these drop down menus change the image when an icon is actually pressed?
I trying to find how I can present the user with a button pressed in image when the icon is clicked and maintain that image until another icon in that menu is pressed?
Can this be done? If not is it something you can do for me at a cost?
A: See more info about pressed item here:
http://deluxe-menu.com/highlighted-items-sample.htmlQ: My site requires me to regularly update the menu by inserting a new menu item at the top of the list. Creating a sub-item automatically places it at the bottom and I haven't yet found a way to move java animated menu items to the top apart from manually editing the data.js file.
A: You should use new engine files v3.2.5 and add items using thefollowing function:
function dm_ext_addItemPos (menuInd, submenuInd, iParams, Pos)
Adds the new item to a submenu.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 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 the menu (for example, when you want to create a duplicate of the existent item) or create new ones.
Structure of iParams:
[item_text, link, icon_normal, icon_over, tip, target, individual_style_index, jsFilename]
Pos - the position in the menu where you want to add new item.

Q: The first is that for some reason my item separator image will not show. I have tried everything.. and no matter what I do the image will not show. I designed a graphic that is 2 pixels high and is the width of the total menu. The first problem is that the graphic wont show at all.. and I do not know why. Secondly, I am now thinking that I would like to use the separator graphic on all levels of the menu.. but this creates a another issue.. as the width of the submenus varies based on the length of the text displayed. How then can I have a separator image work in the submenus?
A: Try to write you Item Styles so:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBorderColor=#D7F5FE,#FFFFFF",
"fontColor=#A0A0A0,#A0A0A0","fontDecoration=none,none"],
["itemBackColor=#6DD0FE,#00ACFC","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid",
"itemBorderColor=#6DD0FE,#FFFFFF"],
];
See the normal item border color.
You didn't paste separator into your menuItems.
