Q: Am I under the correct assumption that if the inner menu item text expands past the ItemWidth or MenuWidth (being that the Width is set -- eg 150px), that the javascript menu div width will expand past it's boundaries instead of wrapping the text? (eg. A text like "Please Make this Wrap instead of expand the width boundary" seems to expand the container's width rather than wrap)
A: There are 2 ways to do that:
1. set
var noWrap=0;
2. use <br> tags, for example:
var menuItems = [
["line 1<br>line 2"],
];
Q: Do you have an extremely simple example of modifying drop down menus with the JavaScript API?
A: You should use the following function:
function dm_ext_changeItem (menuInd, submenuInd, itemInd, iParams)
<script language="javascript" >
dm_ext_changeItem(0, 0, 1, ["", "", "new_icon.gif", "new_icon_o.gif", "",,""]);
</script>
Q: I'm using the deluxe-menu software on a asp.net 2.0 site that utilizes master-pages. On everypage that is in the root directory the javascript for menu loads fine, but if the page is up a directory the main images for the menu don't display.
Have you had any customers with this same problem? If so any help you could offer would be appreciated, thanks!
A: Try to use absolute paths, for example:
<script type="text/javascript"> var dmWorkPath = "https://www.watchguardsales.com/menu.files/";</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.watchguardsales.com/menu.files/dmenu.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://www.watchguardsales.com/menu.js"></script>
and in your data file set:
var pathPrefix_img="https://www.watchguardsales.com/images/";
var pathPrefix_link="https://www.watchguardsales.com/";
Q: I just noticed as well that I cannot change the spacing of the buttons.
Right now the buttons are tight together, how do I create a gap between each button in the link drop down menu?
A: You can paste the separator.
You should add separators between your items, use "Add separator" button on the mainwidow of Deluxe Tuner.
