Q: I'm just trying to get those little vertical spacers between menu items in the drop down menu.How can I do it with Deluxe Menu.
A: Please, see the following parameters of the menu:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorWidth = "10";
var separatorHeight = "20";
var separatorAlignment = "center";
var separatorImage = "C";
var separatorVWidth = "20";
var separatorVHeight = "10%";
var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators between items in the drop down menu using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"], ["|item 3"],
["|-"], // this subitem is separator
["|item 4"],
];
Q: When I load a page the first tab of the creating tab menu is always highlighted, not the contact tab.
A: I suppose that you've set the following parameter:
var bselectedItem=1;
So, the first tab is always highlighted.
This Tab menu can save pressed item automatically within1 page only.
If you open another page, the menu can't remember presseditem.
You should do that manually using Javascript and menu parameters
( var bselectedItem, var bselectedSmItem) or using any server-sidescript (php, asp, etc.)
You should delete this parameter from your data file and write thefollowing code
on each page before you call your data file, for example:
<script language="JavaScript1.2">
var bselectedItem = 3;
</script>
Q: If I wanted to change the graphics at a later date in tab menu javascript (main top tabs, subtabs, etc.), how would I do that?
A: In that case you should open images I'm using for top tabs in any graph editor and changethem.
back.gif
back_o.gif //back images for normal and hover states for the last tabs in the top menu(instead of the 1-st 6 items)
sep_top.gif // separator for the top items
top1.gif
top1_o.gif //back images for normal and hover states for the 1-st tab, you can change thetext of this tab in deluxe-menu.js:
["<font color='#FFF90E'>MAIN</font><br>Initiative<br>(Strategy)","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "5", "4", "", "", "", ],
By the way to apply hint for this item you should write:
["<font color='#FFF90E'>MAIN</font><br>Initiative<br>(Strategy)","testlink.html", "", "", "This hint appears when you hover over the 1-st item", "", "5", "4", "", "", "", ],
top2.gif
top2_o.gif //back images for normal and hover states for the 2-nd tab, you can change thetext of this tab in deluxe-menu.js:
["<font color='#FFF90E'>PAIN</font><br>Identified<br>(Problems)","", "", "", "", "", "6", "", "", "", "", ],
and so on...
For the subtabs I'm use images for arrows only:
var arrowWidthSub=8;
var arrowHeightSub=8;
var arrowImageSub=["deluxe-menu.files/arrow.gif","deluxe-menu.files/arrow_o.gif"]
Q: Can youtell me which transition is the regular traditional transition with no effects for the dhtml navigation?

var transDuration2=0;
