Q: I am trying to make the tabs all the same width and would like to know how to do that. Therefore "Personal", "Account Summary", "Tax Exemptions", "Password", "Invoices", "Quotes", "VOIP" - I need them to all be the EXACT SAME width.
A: See, I've created Individual style
var bstyles = [
["bitemWidth=250px"], // style 0
];
And used this style for some items
["Account Summary","AccountSummary", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif","tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "", "0", "", "",], // style 0
["Tax Exemptions","TaxExemptions", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "tabs/img/icon_ie.gif", "", "0", "", "", ], // style 0
You can use this style for all items in the same way.
You should set the width of your Tabs
var bmenuWidth="770px";
and width for each Tab
var bstyles = [
["bitemWidth=110px"], // style 0
];
And assign this style for all items.
Q: first - the deluxe menu is a nice tool, greatly.
but I have 2 little problems:
- I'll display the item direct side by side without distance, I can't found the parameter
- I wish the actual site (dhtml vertical menu item) in another colour
A: > - I'll display the item direct side by side without distance, i cant found the parameter
Check that you have correct
var menuWidth="";
parameter.
You can send us a copy of your html page (including .js files) ora direct link to your website, so we can check it.
> - I wish the actual site (menu item) in another colour
You can create Individual Item style and assign it for the top items,for example:
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#8080FF,#FFFF80","itemBorderWidth=1","itemBorderStyle=solid,solid", "itemBorderColor=#000080,#FF8000","showByClick=0"], //style0
];
var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["|Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
["|Item 7","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["|Item 8","", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", "", ],
["Item 6","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", "", "", ], //style0
];
Q: You will see I got the first level looking amazing.. this is exactly what I wanted. The interesting thing I figured out was not to use the item border.. this was messing things up. You may notice that when each item highlights.. there is a 1px white line at the separators.. but this is not produced with the item border, but rather from the separator itself which I made in two 1 pixel lines, one blue, on white.. this created that effect.
So now my only problem left is to figure out how to bring this look into the submenus. I was thinking it would be nice to use the separators in the same way throughout the submenus. There does not however seem to be a way to do this. When I tried inserting a separator into a submenu.. nothing happened... I am probably doing this wrong.
Can you please show me how to create the same look I have in the first level in the submenus.. this would be helpful.
I must say, this menu is finally starting to look the way I originally envisioned it. I am very happy. =o)
Thank you so much for all the help you have given me.
A: To add separators in submenus you should write it so:
["|-",] //first level submenus
["||-",] //second level submenus
and so on.
Try that.
Q: I wanted to know if there's a way to make in the javascript expand menu the submenu to appear as regular text, not a link. Is there a way to do this?
A: Actually you are able to paste any html code within items.
For example:
var tmenuItems = [
...
["||<nobr><FORM method=GET action='http://www.google.com/custom'><input name='as_q' value='searchthe web' size=15 style='font-size:10'> <INPUT type=hidden name=cof value='LW:144;L:http://domain.edu/images/sulogo.gif;LH:45;AH:center;GL:0;S:http://domain.edu;AWFID:e01cb67b8afe383e;'></form></nobr>","", "images/icons/search.gif", "", "", "", "", "2", "", "", "",],
