Q: Typically in order to generate a menu with multiple layers I’d put a pipe character in front of the menu text.. For example:
["|Page Admin","/admin/handoutadmin.php", , , , "_new", , , , ],
["||Student Pages","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=1", , , , "_new", , , , ],
["||Teacher Pages","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=2", , , , "_new", , , , ],
["||Family Letters","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=4", , , , "_new", , , , ],
["||Transparencies","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=3", , , , "_new", , , , ],
However, when I try to do it with dm_ext_addItem it actually SHOWS the pipe character and doesn’t create any menu levels at all.
For example:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["Add a Handout to this Lesson", "", "", "", "", "", ""]);
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["|Student Page","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["|Teacher Page","/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);
How can I generate multiple levels of the menu with javascript?
A: I suppose that your code is not valid
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["|Teacher Page", "/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=$type", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);
Try to write it in the following way:
dm_ext_addItem(0, 0, ["|Teacher Page", "/admin/handoutadmin.php?type=", "", "", "", "_new", ""]);
Q: I need a menu system that can do one Vertical menu example in java and a completely separate Horizontal menu on the same page, no frames. Will this menu software do this?
A: Yes, you can create two menus (vertical and horizontal) and installthem on the same page. See the attached example.
Q: Is it possible via code customization to remove the border only for the top level of popup navigation
and subsequent menu levels with the border?
If yes, would you provide technical assistance with the required code change?
A: You can use Individual Item Style in that case.
You should create Individual Style, for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBorderStyle=none,none"], // style 0
];
And assign it for top items:
var menuItems = [
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0
["Product Info","", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0
["|Features","testlink.html", "deluxe-menu.files/icon2.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon2o.gif", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],

["Purchase","http://deluxe-menu.com/order-purchase.html", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "_blank", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0
["Contact Us","testlink.htm", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1.gif", "deluxe-menu.files/icon1o.gif", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], // assign style 0
];

Q: I'm having a problem with the new v3.9.2 javascript menu source. The drop-down submenus are now going "up" instead of "down".
I've tried the conversion steps in your email and I have even rebuilt the menu from scratch in v3.9.2. In the Deluxe Menu Preview window, the drop-down sub-menus behave properly - transitioning down below the horizontal menu. But it FireFox3, IE7 and Chrome the submenus appear above the horizontal menu.
Also... the transition effect (24 - Alpha Blend) only appears in IE7 - it is not evident in FireFox3 or in Chrome.
A: Set the following parameter:
var subMenuVAlign="top";
> Also... the transition effect (24 - Alpha Blend) only appears in IE7 - it is

Transitional effects are features of Internet Explorer 5.5+ only.
