Q: I want to activate script pop up by a hyperlink.
A: Drop down menu items is an array of arrays. It has the following structure:
var menuItems = [
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
[text, link, iconNormal, iconOver, tip, target, itemStyleInd, submenuStyleInd, jsFilename],
...
];
where target is target for an item link.
Available values: _self, _blank, _parent, _search, _top.
So you can set the target value _blank for the items you need.
For example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","http://deluxe-menu.com", "", "", "", "_blank", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Installation","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Dynamic Functions","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_blank", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Purchase","http://deluxe-menu.com/order-purchase.html", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Contact Us","testlink.htm", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
];

Q: Hello. I had a question about the vista templates. Is it possible to extend the width on the java menu buttons to get more text in them? I put to much text and the button is repeating itself. Is there a way to extend the width of the button without the repeat?
A: See images in Vista Templates have the fixed width and height (92 x 21).
You can try to use the following parameter to use combinedbackground for your items, for example:
var beforeItemImage = [,]; //left-side image for normal and mouse over state
var itemBackImage = [,]; //background or image for normal and mouse over state
var afterItemImage = [,]; //right-side image for normal and mouse over state
var beforeItemImageW = '';
var afterItemImageW = '';
var beforeItemImageH = '';
var afterItemImageH ='';
But you should create a small images in any Graph Editor, for example:
button_n_back.gif
button_n_left.gif
button_n_right.gif
button_o_back.gif
button_o_left.gif
button_o_right.gif
Q: I updated .js files and added var key to data file.
When I tested there is no nag tag. But the sub-menu no longer worked. (it worked before with "Trail Version" nag).
The status bar on IE shows "Error on page".
I am looking forward to your help.
A: Please, see menu parameters. Now you have:
var menuBorderWidth="";
var itemBorderWidth="";
You should write:
var menuBorderWidth=0;
var itemBorderWidth=0;
