Q: I am having problems with the XP Taskbar Menu. When I use DOCTYPE in the following format, the task bar does not show up atall for the exception of a single line.
<!DOCTYPEhtmlPUBLIC"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN""http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
When I hover my mouse on top of that line the menu displays fine with no problems. So the problem is with the Start button and the taskbar – they do not show. Can you please advice on how to fix this problem while keeping the DOCTYPE as specified.
A: Try to set the exact width for the menu:
var menuWidth="685px";
Q: Do you have a product that serves as a cascading drop down menu where you can override the width of the display?
A: You can use "smart scrolling" feature in this case for the Deluxe Menu.
To disable/enable the "smart scrolling" for the main items and submenus use the following javascript scrolling menu parameters:
var smSmartScroll = 1;
var topSmartScroll = 1; (works if var menuWidth isn't empty)
You can also specify height and width for each separate submenu using the following menu parameters:
var smWidth = "100px";
var smHeight = "300px";
Q: I have changed the font parameters for the menu, but it only seems to affect the dropdown parts, the main menu font doesn't change, and I would like them to be consistent. How do I fix this?
A: Please, make sure that you don't use Individual Item Styles for themain items. If you're using styles you should change font in thisstyles.
Q: I'm using your DHTML menu product.
I've read the parameters but am unable to make the drop down menu links stop spawning a new window on click.
I love the product and want to use it on my web but I've got to make it stop having babies! Have you some advice for me or a FAQ page you can send?
A: You should use the following parameter
var itemTarget = "_self";
Please, see also individual items targets, for example:
["|Features","testlink.html", "default.files/icon2.gif", "default.files/icon2o.gif", , "_blank", , , , ],
Change "_blank" to "" or to "_self".
