Q: How do I create more space between the menu items?
I have tried adding to the Item Appearance, itemSpacing and itemPadding.
A: You can paste the separator.
Please, see the following parameters:
//------- Separators -------
var separatorWidth = "10";
var separatorHeight = "20";
var separatorAlignment = "center";
var separatorImage = "C";
var separatorVWidth = "150";
var separatorVHeight = "10%";
var separatorVImage = "image.jpg";
You can create separators using menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["item 1"],
["-"], // this item is separator
["item 2"],
];
You can also use this parameter:
var itemPadding = "4px";
You can also set multiple values, for example:
var itemPadding = "2px 15px 5px 5px";
(top, right, bottom, left)
Q: Hi, I was wondering if there is a way to disable the dhtml pull down menu links on a page. (I am creating a site where, in a certain mode, the page is in preview and I don't want the links to work).
Is this possible?
I can run this function across my other <A> tags (which sets them all to the current page), but it doesn't reach into the deluxe menu.
for(i=0;i
document.links[i].href = "<?php echo(getURL($_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]));?>>";
document.links[i].target = "_self";
}
A: To disable your dhtml pull down menu items you should set the following parameter to disable all items:
var itemTarget="_";
Or you can disable items individually.
["Home","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
["Product Info","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Features","testlink.html", "", "", "", "_", "", "", "", "", "", ], //disabled
["|Installation","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
You can also use function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
function to disable items on-the-fly, for example:
dm_ext_changeItem (0, 2, 3, ["", "", "", "", "", "_", "", "", ""]);Q: Is it possible to make the menuitems rightclickable in the latest version of Deluxemenu. I want to rightclick on the drop down menu in javascript item and choose open in new window.
A: No, there is no such a feature in Deluxe Menu v3.2.7.
You can write your item in the following way:
["|<a href='http://www.domain.com'>test test test</a>",""],
But you should assign style for this link.
A.link {
...
}
A.link:hover {
...
}Q: In javascriptcoding I have id of the submenu. How can retrieve id of the parent menu item in the drop-down menus?
A: You can try to use the following function
function dm_ext_getSubmenuParams (menuInd, submenuInd)
Returns submenu parameters in the array:
[submenu_id, items_count, parent_item_id, submenu_level, is_horizontal]
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
Using this function you can retrieve the parent_item_id.
