Q: Which parameters do I change so that the background of the top level menu names change their background?
A: If you want to change the background of the top level menu items onlyyou should use Individual Item Styles and change them.
For example, you have:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8C63D8,#CBB8ED","itemBorderColor=#8C63D8,#CBB8ED"], //style 0
];
var menuStyles = [
["menuBackColor=#8C63D8","menuBorderColor=#8C63D8"], //style 0
];
var menuItems = [
["Text;", "link", "", "", "tip", "target", "0", "0"],
["Text;", "link", "", "", "tip", "target", "0", "0"],
];
Where "0", "1" - style number in itemStyles.
Please, use Deluxe Tuner application to create and assign individualstyles. You can find Deluxe Tuner in the trial package.
Q: Buttons are working great! Client would now like to have the rollover image stay active on the page they are on. They would like the button to stay white when you navigate to a particular page, i.e. If you click on "Press", when you get to that page, the button stays white, while all the others react in the normal manner. Is this possible?? I have seen it on other sites and it seems like it should be possible. Please let me know. I believe it could be done by creating a separate menu for each page, but that seems like a lot of work. I am sure you have a solution.
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover.
Try to do the following things:
- delete var pressedItem=1; parameter from your data file
- set correct parameter on each page before you call data file, forexample:
<noscript><a href="http://deluxe-menu.com">Javascript Menu by Deluxe-Menu.com</a></noscript>
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "menudir/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript"> var pressedItem=3;</script>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="menudir/data.js"></script>
You can also set a pressed item using Javascript API:
function dm_ext_setPressedItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, recursion)
Sets a current pressed item.
menuInd - index of a menu on a page, >= 0.
submenuInd - index of a submenu, >= 0.
itemInd - index of an item, >=0.
recursion = true/false - highlight parent items.
But notice, to use dm_ext_setPressedItem() you should know ID of selected item and subitem.
You can't get this ID after you reload your page. That is why you should write your own code on PHP.
Q: I'm facing a problem with "movable menue":
I'd like to use template "data-image-based-1.js" - everytime I try to change it into a movable one, the javascript menu system just blockes and that's it. where do I have to change a setting in order to be able to use this fantastic menue as a movable one?
A: You should set absolute position for the menu when you use movable orfloatable feature:
var absolutePos=1;
var posX="100px";
var posY="100px";
Q: I am in the early stages of desgning a website for a client and am looking for a particular menu script.
I came across your site ad am impressed with the options. However, I am haivng trouble finding something that will do what the client is looking for.
With a horizontal menu bar across the top, a drop down sub-menu appears but the menu items appear side by side insdie of in a column.
I was hopeing that one of your options might be able to handle this type of menu but I do not see that there is a script for it. Is that true or is it possible to achieve this example in a setting in one of your scripts.
A: You can create such menu with Deluxe Menu.
Please, see the attached example.
You should set this parameter:
var smOrientation=1;
You can create any style of the menu.
