Q: Please let us know how to select the font and background colors using the hexidecimal number?
We have another website and want to use the exact same color scheme.
We want to enter the number such as FF8080.
Hopefully, we can enter the hex numbers into this program.
A: You should write, for example, so:
var menuBackColor = "#FF8080";
var menuBorderColor = "#FF8080";
var itemBackColor = ["#FF8080","#FF8080"];
var itemBorderColor = ["#FF8080","#FF8080"];
var fontColor = ["#000000","#FFFFFF"];
Q: I am evaluating your Deluxe Menu. I see there are many different template designs. Is it possible to create a custom image to be used as the base image for the main javascript pull down menu? If, so how is it done? Or is it mandatory to use the templates available? I would like to have a larger image for the main javascript pull down menu. Most templates have very small and thin images.
A: No, it is not mandatory to use templates.
You can use your own images. Try to use the following javascript pull down menu parameters:
var menuBackImage="";
var menuBackRepeat="repeat";
var itemBackImage=["",""];
And Individual Item Style and Individual Submenu Styles.
Q: I am using Deluxe Menu and I had a question.
When you roll your mouse over the menu items, the background color of that menu item changes (it becomes darker). Is there a way to establish a setting such that when a Menu Item is CLICKED, the color of that Menu Item STAYS darker. This will help the user know which category of the website they are currently visiting.
Please let me know. Thanks!
A: The menu has only two states normal and mouseover. We'll try to add the pressed state in the future.
You can 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 have used one of your products in the past, but bare with me as I am not a programmer. It was a Basic Horizontal Menu that I used mostly the defaults with.
I have a New website that needs to have more than one MENU....
1 - Header = (Horizontal) Drop down Menu
2 - Right Side Bar = (Vertical) MAIN Menu with sub-menus
3 - Lower Side Bar = (Vertical) Menu #2 with sub-menu
4 - Footer Menu = (Horizontal) Pop-up Menu?
I am not sure how this all would be accomplished on one page.
I have tried reading the INFO on the site but I get lost in all the data.
Could you explain a little better please?
A: You can add as many menus as you want on the one page.
You should call
<SCRIPT type=text/javascript> var dmWorkPath = "data.files/";</SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/dmenu.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
and then call your data files:
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data1.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data2.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data3.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<SCRIPT src="data.files/data4.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
