Q: I'm interested in using DHTMLMenu in web applications I develop and have some questions about licensing.
My company develops web applications that act as front ends for clients' legacy mainframe programs. DHTML Menu would be of great benefit in adding navigation functionality to these applications. Each application is custom-developed for each client, so we don't have a pre-packaged product in which the menu would be used. Would the Developer License meet our needs for this sort of development?
Also, a small minority of our clients develop and distribute applications themselves based on the applications that we develop for them. Does the Developer License support transferable redistribution? If not, how much would a license that permitted this cost?
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
A: Yes, Developer License will suit you.
You can use it within your applications and distribute them.
Q: How can I vary the width of the individual items (Home, Product Info etc) on the main menu bar?
A: I'm not sure I understand you. You want to use different width (exactwidth) for the main items?
You can use Individual Styles to set the width for the menu items.Please, use Deluxe Tuner to create your individual styles.
You should write for example so:
var itemStyles = [
["itemWidth=98px"], // style 0
["itemWidth=100px"], // style 1
["itemWidth=110px"], // style 2
["itemWidth=120px"], // style 3
["itemWidth=95px"], // style 4
];
var menuItems = [
["","", "data.files/products.gif", "data.files/products_mo.gif", "Products", "_self","0" , , , ],
["|XLCubed Excel Edition","pro_excel.html", "data.files/iconBlue.gif", "data.files/iconWhite.gif", , "_self", , "0", , ],
["|XLCubed Web Edition","pro_web.html", "data.files/iconBlue.gif", "data.files/iconWhite.gif", , "_self", , "0", , ],
["|TM1 Connection","tm1Connection.htm", "data.files/iconBlue.gif", "data.files/iconWhite.gif", , "_self", , "0", , ],
["|Downloads","downloads.htm", "data.files/iconBlue.gif", "data.files/iconWhite.gif", , , , , , ],

Q: I cannot figure out how to make the text break into two lines.
A: You can use wrapping in Deluxe Menu.
Please, use <br> tag in your menuItems, for example:
"item<br>text"
Q: Is it possible for the dhtml navigation to stay within a table for placement (in order to have a centered website content optimized for 1024x768 - and always have the content centered in the browser regardless of larger resolution sizes, etc.)? so the horizontal placement may vary but the vertical placement would remain the same.
I'm sure it is - but have not had success on implementing it.
A: You can place a menu in a TABLE or DIV with aligh="center".
