Q: I try to use the javascript menu popups to show an image; then when the mouse is over the image I dynamically generate a panel of http links. It works perfectly, but the problem is that I would like to do the same with several images (for instance 2) and different links : I'm not able to do that, whether I change the value of menuItems var or not, I display the same link values on both images (it seems menuItems is a global var and can be set only once).
Have you heard about this problem and could you give me a solution (this is a bit urgent, I have sold this solution to my customers) ?
A: See how you should call dm_popup() functions:
<img src="../../../../fileadmin/img/flag_de.gif" width="50" onMouseOver="return dm_popup(0, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;">
// 0 - is ID of the first menu
....
<img src="../../../../fileadmin/img/flag_fr.gif" width="50" onMouseOver="return dm_popup(1, 2000, event);" style="cursor: pointer;">
// 1 - is ID of the second menu
// 2 - is ID of the third menu
... and so on.
Q: In the item window, it says "use Ctrl jey to slect and copy items" But when I try it doesn't work.
I use Ctrl C and Ctrl V
A: To select a group of items you can use Shift and Ctrl keys.
To rename an item click on it and hold a mouse cursor for a second. Or use item parameters window.
To move items select items you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method.
To copy items select those you want and use a mouse drag'n'drop method holding a Ctrl key.
Also you can use a contextual menu - a right mouse click on the list of items.
Q: Hi, how to change font/size of the main java script pull down menu?
I see the option only for the sub menus.
A: I suppose that you're using Vista style template.
You should change font for the top items in Individual styles.Try that.
Q: Sorry to bother you again, but we've done everything suggested in your fix regarding flash obscuring the multiple drop down menu, but we're still having the same problem in Firefox.
We've - set the parameter in the data file to - var dmObjectsCheck=1;
We've added the following to the start of the data file -
function dm_ext_ruleObjectHide()
{
return false;
}
We've embeded the flash as suggested to -
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,0,0"
height="150" width="732" name="if-header">
<param name="movie" value="images/flash/if-header.swf">
<param name="quality" value="best">
<param name="play" value="true">
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<embed height="150" name="if-header"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
src="images/flash/if-header.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="732" quality="best"
wmode="opaque" play="true">
</object>
But still our multiple drop down menu sits behind the flash. Are we missing something else?
A: See it is necessary to have opaque parameters in <object> and <embed>tags to display submenus correctly in Firefox.
So, you should open .js file for your flash and find "embed" and"object" words.
And add opaque parameters, for example:
swfNode = '<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="opaque" src="'+ this.getAttribute('swf') +'" width="'+ this.getAttribute('width') +'" height="'+ this.getAttribute('height') +'"';
swfNode += ' id="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" name="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" ';
var params = this.getParams();
for( var key in params){ swfNode += [key] +'="'+ params[key] +'" '; }
var pairs = this.getVariablePairs().join("&");
if (pairs.length > 0){ swfNode += 'flashvars="'+ pairs +'"'; }
swfNode += '/>';
} else { // PC IE
if (this.getAttribute("doExpressInstall")) {
this.addVariable("MMplayerType", "ActiveX");
this.setAttribute('swf', this.xiSWFPath);
}
swfNode = '<object id="'+ this.getAttribute('id') +'" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="'+ this.getAttribute('width') +'" height="'+ this.getAttribute('height') + '">';
swfNode += '<param name="movie" value="'+ this.getAttribute('swf') +'" /> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"> ';
var params = this.getParams();
for( var key in params) {
swfNode += '<param name="'+ key +'" value="'+ params[key] +'" />';
}
