Q: Can you resize the height of a submenu button to 22px? (The main dhtml pulldown menu should remain the same height).

I am sending you html files. Please checked it out and is it possible in delux menu?

A: Set itemHeight=22px for the styles (dhtml pulldown menu and sub):

  var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=200px","itemHeight=22px","itemBackImage=left.files/button-gradient.jpg,left.files/button-gradient.jpg", "fontStyle='normal 14px Arial','normal 14px Arial'","fontColor=#ccd0d1,#a3a377","fontDecoration=none,none"],
["itemHeight=22px","itemBackImage=left.files/button-gradient.jpg,left.files/button-gradient.jpg","itemBorderWidth=1", "itemBorderStyle=solid,solid","itemBorderColor=#a3a377,#a3a377","fontStyle='normal 12px Arial','normal 12px Arial'","fontColor=#ccd0d1,#a3a377","fontDecoration=none,none"],
];



Q: Also I have a problem getting the separator to show in my javascript right click menu. I have individual settings for the main menu items. I then tried to place an after item image, and they will show, though then the mouseover image does not work.

A: To add a separator you should

//--- Separators
  var separatorImage=""; //for subitems (top items in vertical javascript right click menu)
  var separatorWidth="100%";
  var separatorHeight="3px";
  var separatorAlignment="right";
  var separatorVImage="separator.gif"; //for the top items (subitems items in vertical menu)
  var separatorVWidth="100%";
  var separatorVHeight="2px";
  var separatorPadding="";

You can create separators using menuItems (you can do it in DeluxeTuner, use "Add separator" button), for example:

  var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];



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.


Q: I want to run a javascript function when a user clicks on item in the dhtml pop up menu,
How can I do this in the data file?

A: You can use your own Javascript code instead standard links. For example:

  var menuItems = [
["text", "javascript:your_code_here"]
];
