Q: How do I get the sub-menus to open in the 2nd frame of a 3 vertical frameset.
The menu is in the first frame. I want the sub-menus to open in the 2nd frame. I don't see how to set that parameter.
A: You should check your dm_initFrame() function.
dm_initFrame(framesetID, mainFrameInd, subFrameInd, orientation);
framesetID - id attribute of the frameset;
mainFrameInd - index of the main frame (where the top-menu is placed), >=0;
subFrameInd - index of the subframe (where the submenus will be shown), >=0;
orientation - frame orientaion: 0 - horizontal, 1 - vertical.
You should write it, for example
dm_initFrame("frmSet", 0, 1, 0);
Q: I am a registered user, and I really like your menu system.
With my old menu system the user could right click on a menu item and the browser would display an option to open the page in a "New Tab".
Is there any way in the javascript menu html to allow the user to choose to open a link in a new tab?.
My users are restricted to using IE.
A: You can try to write the following code for your items:
["<a href='index.html' target='_blank' class='home'>Home</a>","", "", "", "", "Return to Index page", "", "0", "", ],
And create styles
.home{
color: #FFFFFF;}
.home:hover{
color: #FFBEBE;}
Try that.
Q: I'm having difficulty understanding how to set up css drop down menus. The differences between menuStyles, itemStyles, CSS and CSSText is very unclear, and doesn't seem to be well documented.
Do you have any better documentation or writeup on using this feature?
A: No, unfortunately we don't have additional documentation. You can findall info on our site.
We have several examples of the menus using css.
You should set var cssStyle=1; parameter and then assign your stylesto the items.
var cssSubmenu is a CSS class name for all submenus. You can set, forexample, background color, background image, borders for all submenus.
var cssItem is CSS class names for all items (normal state, mouseoverstate) in the top menu and submenus.
var cssItemText is CSS class names for text of all items (normalstate, mouseover state) in the top menu and submenus.
It's possible to appoint individual CSS styles for separate elements of the menu using individual item styles and individual submenu styles.
