Q: We purchased the Deluxe Menu a few months ago and are extremely happy with the product. We have been getting great compliments about our new navigation system.
The menu has over 500 links and functions like a dream! One issue I am having, that I just cannot seem to figure out how to fix, is the following:
Our nav menu is displayed approx. 70 pixels from the top of the browser window. On the drop down links that have a number of items (example 1 in the image below), they display underneath the menu, however on the links that have only a few items, they display above the menu bar in java script as in example 2 in the image below.
How can I set it so that no matter how many drop-down items there are, they always display under the menu bar in java script, not on top?
A: Try to set the following parameter:
var subMenuVAlign="top";
Q: I can't get the hand pointer to work with my dhtml menu scripts in firefox and IE. I know that firefox requires the itemCursor to be set to pointer, but it doesn't work for all links in my menus. I believe that this worked in past version of deluxe-menu, but stopped working somewhere along the way. To recreate this, create a horizontal menu, and set the pressedItem to be one of the menu items and set the itemCursor to be "pointer". Then, you'll see that the pressed item's pointer is the finger icon, but the other menu items are just the arrow. Is there something I'm doing wrong or a setting that will fix this?
A: No, the reason is not in the pressed item.
See when you set:
var itemCursor="pointer";
your cursor will be a hand for the items with url only. For the itemswithout url it will be default arrow.
Q: I have read your http://deluxe-tree.com/whats-new-info.html.
And really I do not understand this phrase:
- Item ID format has changed. It depends on the parent ID = [parent ID]i[item index].
Examples: for the first level dtree _0i0, dtree_0i1..., for the second level dtree_0i1i0,dtree_0i1i1, dtree_0i1i2...
Where do I fill in?
Do I have to rename my cascading menu titles?
A: Actually you shouldn't change anything.
This info is for the customers who use these indexes (dtree_0i1i2) only.
Q: How can I setup Font Size, color for individual level, button? How?
A: You should use Individual Item Styles.
var itemStyles = [
["itemBackColor=#B6E025,#769315","fontStyle=bold 10px Bookman Old Style"], //style 0
