Q: I am using deluxe-menu for the third time to create a school web site. It has worked fine on the previous two sites, but I am making a horizontal menu this time instead of a vertical menu. The menu won't align itself correctly in Firefox. I read the post in your FAQ and I set the align tag in the TD element and also the size attribute, but that didn't work.
Could you give me some suggestions. It looks fine ie IE, but not Firefox.
A: Try to specify exact value for menu width.
For example:
var menuWidth="800px";
It's necessary to specify exact value for Mozilla browsers. It helpsto position menus correctly.
Q: In IE 6.0 and Firefox 1.5.0.4, the dropdown submenus are not visible and it does not float in firefox (floats in IE but no submenus) whereas in Opera 8.53 and Opera 9 it works fully.
A: Now you have two entries of dmenu.js file on your site in the <head> and <body> tags.
You must have only one entry of dmenu.js file.
You should write so:
...
<body>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "http://www.gaurangapada.org/data.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.gaurangapada.org/data.files/dmenu.js"></script>
</body>
Please, delete the same code from the tag.
Now you have:
var transparency="0";
That is why you can't see your subitems.
Please, write, for example, so:
var transparency="80";
Q: When I click into a field and the calendar pops up that it doesn't pick up the date/time values.
I can display time in 12 or 24 hour format - however for the selection it only allows 24 hour format. My boss is yelling at me that it has to be in 12 hour selectable format.
A: > when I click into a field and the calendar pops up that it doesn't

But you haven't specified hour in the date format. Now you have
%L %d, %Y, %l: %M %p
month day year abbreviated month name minute either `am' or `pm'
So, you have: January 29, 2009, Jan:54 am

So, you'll have: January 14, 2009, Jan, 03:50 pmQ: My mainmenu items are not links. So i need no link cursor. My submenu item are links, so i need a pointer(hand).
How can i define 2 different cursors. I tried all the possible settings for the cursor in the program but noting works.
I tried is also with a CSS class for the submenu, but that wasn't also working.
In brief: i want an arrow cursur in my mainmenu, and an hand cursor in my submenu. With smart scroll doesn't solve my problem.
Can you give me a hint to do this.
A: Unfortunately, you can't change cursor type for different items.
But you can write so:
["<a href='http://deluxe-menu.com/'>Home</a>","", , , , , , , , ],
["Product Info","", , , , , "0", , , ],
["|What's New","", , , , , "0", , , ],
In all items with links you should use <a> tag.
Set this parameter:
var itemCursor="default";
