Q: I am working on a menu for a client. I have most of the functionality in place for this client. I have 2 questions that I have not been able to figure out on this menu.
1. Is there a way to define the border image or color on an item in this simple javascript dropdown menu. I need to be able to add in lines between the items. I have not been able to figure out how to do that.
2. Is there a way to dynamically highlite an item? For instance if you are on the page "Horizon for SAP" as illustrated, I would want that to show differently in the menu.
I have written scripts to dynamically generate this menu based off of a sitemap. I just need to make one item on it look different based on your breadcrumb or where you are in the site.
A: > Is there a way to define the border image or color on an item.
You can't specify the image for border, but the color and width are fully configurable.

Q: I 've faced problem in new version v3 of dhtml menu generator.
The problem is visualization of cyrillic fonts I took my js file - just edited it ( adding one menu item) and saved.
I think it's not just browser problem because if reopen js in deluxe menu we can see unreadable text. There are no such problems in V2.4.
A: Yes, this problem was fixed in the new version of dhtml menu generator.
Download the new version from the same link in your license messageand install it.
You should use UTF-8 encoding in that case.
Q: Your product is great. I do have one question for you however.
Right now the dropdown (subitem) menus appear based on the smShowPause variable, and disappear based on the smHidePause variable. It is sometimes awkward for users to mouse off the subitem menu that has dropped down, only to have it still hanging there. Reducing the smHidePause variable is not an option because then the menu often disappears before a user has selected a menu option.
The ideal solution is the have the subitem menu recognize when the user has moused off the menu, and then disappear. Is this possible?
if not, I definitely suggest incorporating it into your next build!
A: Try to set these parameters:
var transition=0;
var transOptions="";
var transDuration=0;
var transDuration2=0;
var smShowPause=200;
var smHidePause=200;
Q: I am having trouble getting my tabs to link to a div id...should I beusing a certain target? I have attached my html file and data.js file.The links won't work.
A: You can use links if you have
var tabMode=1;
only.
If you have
var tabMode=0;
You should use the ID of the DIV.
