Q: Is it possible to have menu items act like regular hyperlinks?
For instance in Firefox I like to "middle click" hyperlinks to open them in a new tab, or in IE right click and open in new window.
However with Deluxe-Menu this does not seem to work.
A: If you want to open your links in the new window you should set the item target parameter to "_blank", for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", , , , "_blank", , , , ],
...
You can include also any html code in the Item Text.
For example:
["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/'>Home</a>","", , , , , , , , ],
Q: I am in the process of evaluating the deluxe-menu product V3.2.7.16 and have created a simple HTML using the deluxe-menu Vista Style #6. This works great and displays with the animation in IE and also using FireFox V2 with IE tabs.. However, in basic FireFox and Safari, the javascript menus display but without the swirling animation. Pls advise !!
A: Filters and transitional effects are features of Internet Explorer5.5+ only.

Q: How do I go about using the menu javascripts feature and javascript popup on the same HTML page? I'm getting a Java Error.
A: 1) Notice that you should call dmWorkPath parameter and dmenu.js file only once on yourhtml page.
2) When you have several menus on the same page they have different menuInd (0,1,2,3...)
For example you have:
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script> //standard menu menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="popup-data.js"></script> //popup menu menuInd=1
You should call your popup in the following way:
<img src="mypic.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(1, 1000, event);">
or
<script type="text/javascript" src="popup-data.js"> </script> //popup menu menuInd=0
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js"></script> //standard menu menuInd=1
You should call your popup in the following way:
<img src="mypic.gif" onClick="return dm_popup(0, 1000, event);">
