Q: What I try to make is a menu dhtml with items having a border of only 1 px, also between the menu items. However it seems that Deluxe menu draws a 1 px line around every menu item giving an effective border line of 2 px between the area where the items touch each other. I want to have 1 px border also on the areas where the items touch each other.
Any suggestion how to fix this?
A: If you want to have the 1px border between the items only you canuse separators.
Please, see the following parameters:
//--- Separators
var separatorImage=""; //for subitems
var separatorWidth="5";
var separatorHeight="100%";
var separatorAlignment="right";
var separatorVImage="images/public/separator.gif"; //for the top items
var separatorVWidth="1";
var separatorVHeight="100%";
var separatorPadding="";
You should set a separator in the menuItems, for example:
var menuItems = [
["Home","index.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
["-"],
["About Us","about.cfm", , , , , , , , ],
];
Q: I have one more question. I built the menu using Deluxe Tuner.
I cannot find where to change the mouse over color from blue to something more appropriate in my drop down menu templates. Can you tell me where to do this?
A: You should change the second color in the following parameter:
var itemBackColor=["#FCEEB0","#65BDDC"];
Q: I've begun experimenting with the dhtml rollover menu program and like what I see.
Question, when I have a tree menu on the left and the user clicks a node, I want the resulting HTML page to appear next to the dhtml rollover menu, on the right hand side. How do I reposition the HTML page so it doesn't take up the whole page and cover the menu?
A: You can use frames and open link pages into the content frame, or use Iframe.
Please, set the name for your iframe, for example:
<iframe name ='myFrame' ...
<frame name ='myFrame' ...
And then you must set the following dhtml rollover menu parameter in the data file withyour menu:
var titemTarget="myFrame";
Q: I'm creating a "Clear" style dhtml menu and for whateverreason it automatically spaces the menu items unevenly.
For the life of me I can't figure out how to set the spacing evenly.
A: Try to set exact width for each top item using Individual Item Styles:
var itemStyles = [["itemWidth=120px"],];
var menuItems = [
["Item 1","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 2","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 3","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 4","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
["Item 5","", "", "", "", "", "0", "", "", ],
];
