Q: We are an enterprise license holder and have recently purchased Deluxe Menu and are transitioning to it smoothly except for one minor annoyance; the first dhtml div menu item's submenu always has a gap between the browser’s left side as shown below. This happens for Internet Explorer 6, 7 and Firefox 2 and 3.04b.
If I move the menubar to the right about ten pixels, the submenu's left side will line up with the word "Search" as it should. Every other submenu on the dhtml div menu appears directly beneath its menubar item except for the very first one on the left. I’ve tried using a few of the example configurations but they all experience the same behavior.
The installation is in a multi-framed environment.
A: You should change dmenu.js file. Open it in any text editor and find:
space=15;
Change it to:
space=0;
Q: It works great in IE, but doesn't work in Firefox.
A: Please, try to specify units in "px".
For example:
var itemPadding = "3px";
Try that.
Q: The only remaining problem I see is that the html popup menu appears in slightly different positions depending upon where your mouse touches the icon.
Is there a way to make the menu position absolute in respect to the icon? I have tried playing with the menu item parameters that seemed related with no success.
A: See dm_popup() function parameters:
return dm_popup(menuInd, pause, event, x, y)
menuInd - index of the menu on a page, >= 0.
pause - determines the time when the html popup menu will be hidden.
event - constant. Do not change.
x, y - optional. Set these parameters if you want the menu to appear in the specified place.
In other case the menu will be shown in the mouse position.
Q: I am struggling with my menu on my site the submenu is under the main text area. How do I make the submenu come to the front.
A: Check your z-index for <DIV id=navigation>.
Try to write it, for example, so:
<DIV id=navigationstyle="Z-INDEX: 10; LEFT: 0px; WIDTH: 170px; POSITION: absolute; TOP: 5px; HEIGHT: 600px">
Try that.
