Q: Is it possible to have your menu mouseover call one of my functions?
I need to change some text on the screen based on which menu itemis highlighted.
A: Each menu items can include any html code.
So, you can include your own objects with onmouseover event, forexample:
var menuItems = [
["<div onmouseover='yourFunc()'>item text</div>"]
];
Where yourFunc() is Javascript function.
Q: I've just put together a new drop down menu box for one of the sites I'm working on and whilst in IE it works fine, in FF the drop down menu box is not appearing over the Flash banner.
I don't understand why as this was put together with the latest version of Deluxe Menu - my understanding was that this issue was resolved a while back?
Can you help me sort this.
A: See fix for flash in Firefox here:

Q: I want to use
function dtreet_ext_userRightClick(itemID) {
alert(itemID[0]); ???
return false;
}
But how do I refer to tmenuItems array using itemID in the javascript?
For example, if I want to pop a link text, should I use alert(itemID[0]))?
It doesn't work.
Please let me know how I refer to the menu.
A: You should use the following function to get item's info:
dtreet_ext_getItemParams (0, itemID);
For example:
<script type="text/javascript">
function dtreet_ext_userRightClick(itemID)
{ var link = [];
link = dtreet_ext_getItemParams (0, itemID);
//Returns item parameters in the array:
// [item_id, index_within_submenu, parentID, level, has_child, child_count, expanded, text, link, target, tip, align, icons, hidden, disabled, visible]
alert(link[7]);
return false;
}
</script>

I want it to do this though:

The problem is the "'s around the img src.....it's throwing off your animated drop down menu.
How do I fix that?
A: It is not correct to write menuItems in such way.
You should write:
["|'Slow Death Hook' Contest<br><br><br>Enter Your Favorite Fish Photos to Win!<br> Gary Parsons <br><br><img src='images/thumbnail.jpg'>","http://www.domain.com/site/featured_article.cfm?owner=AB18D298-0AC7-254E-B7248E9DCD0F9549",,,,,"0"],
Try that.
