Q: When running DeluxeMenu with IE or Firefox, the background (appearance and items) is transparent.
It is not smart because it affects the reading of the menu's.
My question is: how can I fix this problem for IE and Firefox ?
If you look at it with Opera (version 9.00) one does not have the problem.
A: You should set this parameter:
var transparency="100";
Q: First, i like the time I save with this program, but it isn't going to help me that much if I can't put the menu where I want it on my page.
No matter how I set the "positioning", it shows up in exactly the same place over and over. I've put it in table cells, I've given it absolute positioning... none of it matters.
A: If you want to center the menu paste itwithin the <div> or <table> with a static position and specify a center alignment for it, for example:
<DIV align=center>
<<SCRIPT src="data/data.js" type=text/javascript>
</SCRIPT>
</DIV>
<table width=800>
<tr>
<td align=center width=600><script type="text/javascript" src="data/data.js"></script></td>
</tr>
</table>
Please, set exact value for var menuWidth parameter, for example:
var menuWidth = "600px";
This can help to align your menu correctly in all browsers.
Try also to specify units in "px".
Set also:
var absolutePos = 0;
Try that.
Q: Couple last questions. I have 25 icons (images) on one page. Each image needs it's own popup menu. Obviously I now have the first one working. How and where do I define IDs number 2-24 ? Does each icon need it's own "source_" file?
Also, where is it defined that the popup menu is ID 1 ?
A: > Also, where is it defined that the popup menu is ID 1 ?
Each menu has ID. The ID's number starts with 0.
So, when you have several data files on your page you have such ID's:
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="menu-top.js"></script> // ID - 0
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop.js"></script> // ID - 1
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop1.js"></script> // ID - 2
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop2.js"></script> // ID - 3
<script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2" src="source_pop3.js"></script> // ID - 4
and so on.
> I have 25 icons (images) on one page. Each image needs it's own popup menu.
If you want to have different Popup menus (there color, item, text,font and so on) you should create 25 different .js files with yourparameters. And call them from your page, for example:
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop1.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop2.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
...
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop24.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
If you have different item text only you can use one
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
file. But you should delete the following code:
var menuItems = [
["Next","testlink.htm"],
["Prev","testlink.htm"],
["Close","testlink.htm"],
];
dm_init();
and move it to the html page:
<body>
...
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript1.2 src="source_pop.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<script type="text/javascript"> //first popup menu ID - 1
var menuItems = [
["Next","testlink.htm"],
["Prev","testlink.htm"],
["Close","testlink.htm"],
];
dm_init();
</SCRIPT>
<script type="text/javascript"> //second popup menu ID - 2
var menuItems = [
["Text","testlink.htm"],
["Text1","testlink.htm"],
["Text2","testlink.htm"],
];
dm_init();
</SCRIPT>
<script type="text/javascript"> //third popup menu ID - 3
var menuItems = [
["New_Text","testlink.htm"],
["New_Text1","testlink.htm"],
["New_Text2","testlink.htm"],
];
dm_init();
</SCRIPT>
...
<script type="text/javascript"> //twenty fourth popup menu ID - 3
var menuItems = [
["New","testlink.htm"],
["New","testlink.htm"],
["New","testlink.htm"],
];
dm_init();
</SCRIPT>
<img src="testimage.gif" width=200 onClick="return dm_popup(1, 1000, event);" style="cursor: hand;">
<img src="testimage.gif" width=200 onClick="return dm_popup(2, 1000, event);" style="cursor: hand;">
<img src="testimage.gif" width=200 onClick="return dm_popup(3, 1000, event);" style="cursor: hand;">
...
<img src="testimage.gif" width=200 onClick="return dm_popup(24, 1000, event);" style="cursor: hand;">
...
</body>
Q: When viewed in the DeLuxe Tuner preview mode everything is OK and as desired, but in the IE8 view the dropdown menus are still centered instead of flush left.
A: Try to install the menu in the following way:
<td align="center">
<span style='text-align:left'>
<script type="text/javascript" src="data.js">
</script>
</span></td>
