Q: I have already tried this exact same method, using and alternate "itemBackColor" and this is not what I needed. As you can see in your example putting in an item back color only give you a different bg color on the item itself, but the BG of the menu around it remains the same. In your example the lighter bg color of my menu is surrounding the item bg color making this look more like a mistake and poor design.
It do use the item bg color for the rollover in my menu, as you can see, but implementing this does not give me what I need. I need the BG color behind this item to be completely flush with the sides of the menu.
I had already checked the menu system thoroughly before contacting you and I was well aware of the option.. but as you can see this is not the solution. It is very important to me that this looks perfect, and what I need is not built into this menu by default.. I need another solution.
A: You should set the following parameter:
var itemSpacing=0;
You can also try to paste separators between items.
Q: Using the example menu you have, how do i make the sub-menu for the 'Sample' menu item a multi-column and leave the 'Product Info' menu item as is.
I only want certain sub-menus to have multi-columns. I don't want all menu items to have a multi-column sub.
A: Please, see the attached example.
You should use individual styles.
var menuStyles = [
["smColumns=2"],
["smColumns=1"], //style 1
];
...
["More Samples","testlink.htm"],
["|Group 1","", , , , , "3", "1", , ], //assign style 1
Try that.
Q: I currently have the menus set to show the selected item in white and the non-selected items in blue.
However, I can only choose one item in each menu.
Is there any way to choose multiple items from a single drop down css menu and have all of
selected items show white?
If so, what option do I need to enable for the menu?
A: No, Deluxe Menu doesn't has a feature to highlight multiple items now.
Actually you can use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
You can create Individual Item Style with style of selected item and
using this function assign it for the items you want to highlight
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["Deluxe Menu Info", "", "", "", "Deluxe Menu Hint",,"1"]);
Q: 1) Can any HTML be inserted in to the text?
2) As the item has no link, how can I prevent the item being highlighted on mouseover?
A: 1) Yes, you can insert any html code within menuItems, for example:
["|You can place <b>any HTML code</b><br> to item, for example <u>image</u>:<br><img src=img/logo.gif>","testlink.html"],
["|Index <select style='width:120px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'><option>Section 1<option>Section 2<option>Section 3</select>", "", "", "", "", "", "", ""],
["|Search <input type=text style='width:80px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'> <input type=button value='Go' style='width:30px;height:17px;font:normal 10px Tahoma,Arial;'>", "", "", "", "", "", "", "0"],
["|Write Us", "mailto:[email protected]", ""],
2) Yes, you can do it.
You should create Individual Style for it.
For example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#FCEEB0,#FCEEB0","itemBorderColor=,#FCEEB0","fontColor=,#000000"], //style0
];
["Product Info","", "default.files/icon1.gif", "default.files/icon1o.gif", , , "0", , , ], //style0
